Teacher Training

So, I'm back from my second weekend of training in Kansas City, to become a kundalini yoga teacher. Its awesome!

The first weekend was overstimulating and I left feeling like I'd taken on too much but this weekend was just amazing and I love all the people in the class and especially the teachers.

Karta Purkh and Sat Inder (yes, she and I have the same name!) are two very humble, lovely and just plain awesome beings to have as teachers and I love staying at the ashram with them, I almost feel like I could move there! lol

The training is very different than I had anticipated, they're making us do the work! lol. Example, last week Karta Purkh gave us each a pranayama technique to learn and study and then teach it to the whole class on Saturday. Rather than them teaching us, they are having us do the work and then when it comes to sharing it with others, its easy because you own the experience of having learned it, practiced it and then taught it already.

I just love it. I guess I was thinking they would be sitting up there telling us things, rather than making us find the info ourselves and then pulling the truth from inside us, so we know what we're talking about when we are sharing some teaching with others.

We also watched our first Master Touch video, which I've read the book, but the video is fuller and it feels like Yogi Bhajan is in the room with us, so its an experience in itself too.

Well, I'm not articulating so well anymore, had a busy day, so I'll log off and go read some more and internalize some more, process some more and grow some more! lol

Love to you all and may you come from a place of love as well when you're out there moving around through your lives.

Peace, Sat Nam!

I have read that book, or rather tried to read it 3 times and can never finish it because it drives me nuts!
