Sita Sings the Blues

I watched this film months ago.

It is a great parody on a serious story/legend/history. It is told creatively and realistically as one person wrote on youtube, "If someone stops on the street and asks you to narrate the Ramayana, this'll happen."

I hope you all enjoy just as much as I have.

The enlightening of our spirits (at least the pots are stirring)

So people have been wondering what my first two weekends of Teacher Training have been like.

Well, they have been the most amazing and intense experiences that could be imagined!  The best way to describe these weekends with my 23 other comrades is that they are these mini weekend therapy retreats.  You enter into the room Saturday morning look around, help set up and just settle.  Immediately you know when you see everyone's faces that it is safe; everything you have been reading, thinking about, practicing is worth it.  That devoting yourself to the now is so important and worth more then anything.

That is what it is like.

Yoga Teacher Training is about growth, it is a growth into the beautiful guiding being that will inspire others to want to dig inside and find their own beauty. (and maybe practice some yoga too!)

I can only say that if you are ready to find out more about yoga, to find out how everything in our lives tie together then do it. Anyone can do yoga, but I don't think anyone can anticipate the magnitude that teacher training has to offer.  It really is a beautiful thing!

That is the best way I think that I can sum up the four days that I have had in my program, and things are shifting.  I can not be more grateful for the two week breaks between weekends, it really allows me the time to process and implement what I have been inspired with into my life.
