Getting ready for first day

Over the last few days I have received various emails regarding the first day.
One about our first day schedule, one about what to bring, one welcoming us to the program...

Each one helpful for my preparation, but each also helping build my excitement (mixed in with my nervousness!).

I'm just about to go to sleep but I thought I should share about how I have already packed my bag, picked my outfit, made my lunch, gotten snacks; I am leaving nothing for chance!

It reminds me of when I was in primary school and I was actually excited about going to school on the first day, of course, then it would have been my parents getting everything ready for me.

Well my fingers are crossed and my eyes are wide open!

Here is a glimpse of what my first is going to look like...how can anyone complain about this schedule:

8:30-10:30- Meet and Greet
10:30-10:45- Break
10:45-12:30- Yoga Class
12:30-1:30- Lunch
1:30-3:30- Course Overview
3:30-4:00- Tea Time
4:00-5:00- Games
5:00-6:00- Asana & Meditation

Namaste

Books for School

My new books quite literally just arrived, and I am so excited!  Who ever thought that School textbooks could ever be so exciting and not frightening! (well maybe with the exception of the anatomy books...)

I always love new books, but I always have to resist because the excitement of owning them usually wanes. So if I get too many at once they usually begin to collect dust before I have have properly enjoyed them.  Hence my yoga library is very small.  With the internet I can usually find what I need in the moment, but as with most other subjects books are so much richer for their information and the love that was poured into their creation.

The 5 books I had ordered are for my yoga teacher training that starts next week.  the books are:

1. Teaching Yoga: Exploring the Teacher-Student relationship by Donna Farhi
2. Yoga Anatomy by Leslie Kaminoff
3. Ayurveda, The Science of Self Healing by Dr. Vasant Lad
4. Yoga Mind, Body and Spirit: A return to Wholeness by Donna Farhi
5. The Anatomy Coloring Book by Wynn Kapit and Lawrence M. Elson

I have every intention of reviewing all five of them as I read them and we integrate them into learning during the next 6 months (hopefully it won't take me 6 months to build an opinion)

All I have left to get and find is a yoga blanket...
