The Countdown...

It is 14 days until I begin my 200 hour yoga teacher training and I'm a bit scared. More than a bit actually. I had no other choice but to make this decision because:

a.) I love yoga

b.) my favorite instructor is doing the training

c.) the training is in my hometown (no commuting!!!)

d.) I'm a retired teacher who no longer has the responsibility of a full time job or children living at home.

e.) my husband is very supportive

Although I know that yoga is not only about the asanas (poses) the thought of not being so accomplished in this area makes me anxious. I will also be the oldest one in the training. It seems that everywhere I go lately I'm the oldest one, but that's a whole other issue.

This morning while I was reading my latest issue of Yoga Journal I came across an article about a man who found yoga later in life, at age 60. He talked about how yoga has affected his life in many positive ways including improving his golf game. The article ended with him saying that he will be starting his teacher training this fall at age 65!!!! Wooooo Hooooo!
