I just want to share with you how a bad evening/night, in specific, occurs in my house. Let us start with waking up in the morning. I lie under the covers waiting for my alarm to go off but it does not. I get up either by body clock or awoken by someone moving around in "my" room. I check my phone and it lies there beside me. I remember what I did last night. Being awoken the moment my mother tries to pry my phone from my hands. In the end, I get up and succumb to the every morning rituals of brushing my teeth, washing my face, brushing my hair, breakfast and just aimlessly walking around my house or room. Back to my room after breakfast to finish up the homework which are due to my horrible habit of procrastination. It is bad indeed. My family and I leave the house to obtain our meal of the day, lunch. Lunch then tuition for me but grocery shopping for my brother and mother. The food churn in my digestive system and the drowsiness kicks in. This unbearable feeling of wanting to nap with the relaxing yet piercing cold air circulating the room makes tuition class slightly less appealing. I am greeted with the breeze that tags along with the million of rain droplets pounding on the roofs, roads, cars and people as I exit the tuition centre. The bad day starts when my mother calls me.
“We have to talk about it Ryan” Skye Carter says to Ryan whose long blonde hair waved in the wind while Skye had her hair in a french braid that glistened in the summer sun. Skye had $500 and Ryan only had $300 this was for food and the flight. Skye is a straight A student while Ryan was a B and C+ student and “I think we should go to the airport take a flight to Tampa, Florida because that's really cheap and its a beautiful place. ” Ryan has always wanted to go to the beach and loved when their foster parents took a surprise vacation to Florida and she got to go to the beach almost every day after she was done with her chores. Most were rushing to get to their flight, others were talking among themselves, some even trying to strike a conversation while others try and hide from conversation. Skye and Ryan then turned away from the man walked in the bathroom and then startled babbling about what to do. Skye made a point that they needed the money put Ryan made the point that they didn't know what was in the bag and they might get caught. Skye then had a great point that the bag made it through security.
I am beginning my second month of yoga teacher training and I am having a hard time focusing on a blog topic because the learning is so rapid and so deep. I had thought for a long time that I might some day like to be certified to teach yoga. I really feel like teaching is one of my “callings”, so whenever I get into something, I can kind of imagine myself teaching it. But the desire to teach yoga was never that strong, or serious. Then I learned that people do the Classical Yoga Teacher Training (CYTT) at Kashi Atlanta to deepen their own practice, and not necessarily because they have specific, near term teaching goals. The time between seriously considering yoga teacher training and actually committing, was pretty short–around 2 months. It seems like I act suddenly, but really a seed that has been planted in my mind long ago has been germinating and then appears to sprout suddenly. I always believed in and could feel the spiritual benefits of yoga, but my original intention was just to get better at “yoga”. Swami (our teacher) was talking about her guru and a conversation she was having with other gurus in India about why they do yoga. Having dabbled in yoga for several years, I have really intensified my practice within the past year. After just one month of training, which has meant 2, seventeen hour weekends, daily practice, meditation and reading, I feel so much happier.
