His Story:
My first class, the whole class were participants of the teacher training program. I was not able to finish the class, in the middle of it, I was completely soaked in sweat and just sat on the mat in fatigue. My brain kept spinning with "whys" - why is it so tough?! But after 10 classes, I felt I have made great improvements."
I was able to grasp all those feelings of intense stretch, "chi" and "enjoy the pain" that they kept talking about. During this period, when I practiced at home, I was always laughed at by my 7 years old daughter, "These poses are not difficult at all. Daddy, you are no good! Look at me!" She would then casually perform side split, front split, cow pose, wheel pose, unicorn pose and then watch TV in these poses. They all seem so easy to her. This annoys me so. These are all my dream poses.
So I made up my mind to join the Teacher Training program to upgrade my technique. Though it's tough, I am able to handle. If I pass the exam and get the cert, it's not just overcoming a challenge, it's also doing me justice! |
