To start, I just want to say that I cannot believe that this part of my journey is almost over!!!! I know I've been writing about how quickly the time has gone by but here I am relaxing during my break on Day 4 of Week 4 and thinking about how after today I only have two days of training and then graduation on Saturday. It's sad to think that I will have to say good bye to all the friends that I have made over the past month. We have all become sooooo close and I...

Three down, one to go and I cannot believe it!!! Today marked the official end of week three with our usual Saturday off and just like every other week it was much needed and came at the perfect time. This whole week has been really weird for me. I already mentioned a little about my post Saturday depression in my previous post which is how the week started off but happened to end on quite a positive note.

Since my last post Kosta is back and boy can we feel it. He sure knows how to kill us with his super long asana holds! During evening practice today we had to hold standing forward bend, with our arms hanging (grabbing our elbows or hands in a bind behind our backs) for 10 minutes ...

It is now Saturday evening which means I have completed my first full week of teachers training!! It also means that I was lucky enough to have a day off from yoga and teachers training! I spent my day learning how to cook Raw Thai Food from a darling little Thai lady named Ta at her home on Koh Samui. Ta was nice enough to invite me and 8 other teacher training students into her home and show us how she cooks with all the fresh produce from her organic garden. W...
