After a quick stop home to unload all of my wordly possessions at my parents house I got back in the car and back on the road to Phoenicia NY for my Yoga teacher training. Phoenicia is a beautiful town tucked in the Catskill mountains, close to Woodstock, NY (you may have heard of this or something...).
As per usual for me and new beginnings, I was nervous. Seriously unnecessary questions invaded my mind:
Will they like me?
What if I don't wear lululemon everyday?
What if I can't do every pose?
How ironic. Here I am on my way to a place that will empower me to empower others and I can't even stop worrying about looking good. However, my doubts were pretty heavily destroyed once I got to Menla Mountain Retreat Center and checked into my room where a handful of warm, gorgeous, smiling women welcomed me. All very different people, gathered together to promote change within themselves, and to ignite something within the students they teach.
Going into brief detail about the experiences I had that week would not do them justice, it was hard physically, it was brutal mentally but, some take away points/quotes are:
- "Doubt your doubts and they will disappear, feel your fears and they will fade"
-"Instead of being right or wrong, know that you are a powerful creator of reality"
-“Who you are speaks so loudly I can't hear what you're saying.” -Emerson
Speak the truth and live the truth and last but certainly not least:
do violence to the status quo
