Decision Made

I never thought I would ever be blogging, but here I am heading off to Bikram Yoga Training leaving my family for 9 weeks. So I thought well why not, what a great way to share my journey with my friends and family and what a great way to stay connected with everyone as well.

This decision was not easy for me to make, I have been married for 19 years to my best friend, never lived on my own, I went straight from Mom and Dad's home to getting married and having 2 beautiful daughters. My oldest Jess is heading off to College, she leaves right before I leave to Acapulco. My youngest Chelsea & my poor hubby are left behind at home by themselves. It's definitely going to be tough getting through all of these changes, but what keeps me going is my wonderful supportive family. I had those days, where I said "NO" I am not going to be a Bikram Teacher, but they saw something that took me awhile to discover and that was that I was very passionate about my practice. So here I am heading off to Bikram Fall Training 08.

My Bikram Yoga practiced started about 3years ago, when a friend of mine invited me to try something different yoga in a heated room about 110 degrees 50% humidity for 90 minutes, 26 postures, sounds easy right? So there I was thinking, wow the room is HOT!! But I was hooked, not only was I physically looking great, I was able to get off all of medications such has Prozac, Anxiety pills, and who knows what else I would be on if I didn't have my Yoga. I am a better person because of my yoga, and that is why I am ready to give back what was given to me, I am ready to take on this challenge and teach the Yoga that has changed my life.

I will be leaving my family for 9 weeks, I will be practicing in a heated room that is approx. 110 degree 50% humidity for 90 minutes, 2 times a day Monday through Saturday with lots of lectures, posture clinics that can last till the next morning, I hope I am ready and that my body is ready for it too.
