Inspirations

12 down, 18 to go!

Today some girls were asking Jason after class if it was true that he used to be a lawyer and he was kind of shaking his head saying that he really should remove that bit from his profile on the web site. I disagreed - I think it's an inspiration, I think it shows courage that you can leave something you've worked for years for if you don't believe it's making you happy.

I'm constantly rethinking about my relationship with yoga. How serious am I about this teacher business? Would I have the courage or even the will to leave my nicely paying job for yoga? I think the difference between me and Jason (and the girl who asked the question who had come to realise she hated her job she had gone to school for for five years) is that I don't hate my job. In fact, I don't even dislike it - most days I'm very happy to have my job, and the comforts the money brings are certainly a plus.

Decisions- and I'm jumping ahead here as there is no decicion to be made, I haven't even started the training - is probably not as straightforward as it is for some people. I was thinking about it today when we were doing some extremely silly asanas with partners, that most of the people present who were doing the 30 day challenge were probably pretty much as nuts about yoga as I am. This is taking so much out of my spare time - if I'm not getting ready to go for a class, I'm dragging my gear from one place to another or relaxing after class.

Still, when I was walking home in the dark and pouring rain (yep, Vancouver) I was smiling happily and I felt so good.
