Even though it’s Saturday, I didn’t jet off on a 3 hour yoga kind of morning like I usually do for my 500 Hour Yoga Teacher Training Program that I’ve been working on. For new readers, I’ve been a yoga teacher since 2001 at the 200 Hour Level, but have recently been pursing the highest level of yoga certification. I needed to add 300 more hours to what I already had. I mentioned in last week’s Highlights and Recaps Post that I would be graduating from my teacher training program this week.

It’s the culmination of a decade of dedication to the practice, to the yoga community, to students, to yoga being a lifelong path for me, both on and off the mat.
