Yoga Journal! Tada (sana)!

This yoga-teacher-in-training often has trouble writing due to the arthritis so I figured I would start an online journal which will also help me share my journey with the world, 2 birds, one stone. Boooya. I actually really disappointed myself today. I had planned on waking up and driving to Bend for a class at noon however, at 10am when I emerged from the batcave, it was raining. So my anxiety about driving into the city increased 2 fold- there are going to be more people driving, less people walking, the roads will be wet, visibility will suck... So, I ended up going back to sleep. In order to make up for my lack of yoga this afternoon I plan on doing some Yogadownload.com vinyasa while here at work. I've come to realize a few things in the last few days... 1. Yoga studios do not cater to people who work night shift and 2. The Instagram yoga challenges have really guided my practice since I have discovered them.... which makes it easier to do yoga alone when, due to issue #1 I am often practicing by myself. In a way I think its a good thing I do practice so much alone because in essence while teaching, I will be practicing, alone. However, there will be a bunch of other people watching me, looking to my for guidance... which subsequently I have learned to do, by myself. The world is full of irony... its takes sadness to enjoy happiness, darkness to enjoy the light, and lots of learning to be able to teach. I hope to be able to hope in on the early morning class tomorrow, after work however I'm not sure how attentive I will be after 12 hours in the chemistry lab. Although, I do a great deal of stretching while I'm here running tests so perhaps I'll be on point. Guess we will have to see!!! I did 2 20 min surya namaskar sets yesterday while I was here, no savasana though, because I do enough sitting here with a clear mind throughout the evening as it is... I should be able to upload some pictures on here as I go through my asana's and what not to further cement these things into my head... perhaps a tutorial or two which will be great for me, and hopefully for others as well! I apologize for the choppiness and scatter brained first yogaistarafic blog post!!! I can't wait to get my books in the mail, I can't wait to make it to class again with Lynn, I can't wait for the last weekend in April, I can't wait for the holi festival of colors... and honestly am pretty excited to head into the back office to do Surya Namaskar A and B from memory whilst reciting my little dialogs in my head, also excited to do day 2 of my yoga challenges... Standupyogis, yogisinbloom and yogatothecore! Namaste!
