I got in!!!

Yipee!

I got into my preferred program for the Yoga Teacher Training Program!
I found out last week, about 5 days after I sent my application.  I had a feeling that it might be that simple as well fast for acceptances.  But I still couldn't help but be nervous about it all.

Just over a week to go and all my remaining curiosities will be answered.

The Langara 250hr YA TTP is set over six months; starting in September and ending in February.  There are two components to the programming.  There is the core program, which is essentially every other weekend, both Saturday and Sunday, each day is 9.5 hrs long including your hour lunch. The second part is the Yoga Series which is an hour and a half every week and 12 weeks long, the first six set in September and October and the rest in January and February.

I am really excited to find out what this class means since the program hardly even mentions the yoga series.  This is the clearest description on it: "...for students to integrate and practice learned techniques and methodologies with peers." Based on this, I'm thinking that it will be a place for us to both practice yoga (take an average studio class) and as we learn to teach, it will become a safe place to teach to our peers.

I think one of my biggest fears at the moment is that we will get to the end of the program and I will not have taught any classes at all, so when I do get to the front of a class, it will still feel foreign and frightening!  I know this fear is not reasonable and one of the reason I opted for this program was that it seemed honorary as both a school and a program and it will live up to the expectations I have put on the table.

Tomorrow I will list the books that I have purchased for the program.  They should (fingers crossed!) arrive by friday or early next week. and as I read them I will be sure to review them.

I am SOOOO excited!
