Some of what I learned during yoga teacher training @ DMY:
-I tend to slouch in my shoulders which keeps my energy stuck in my hips (it makes sense, I promise)
-I see and enjoy the advantages of meditating :)
-I love doing high to low push-ups
-My personal power is compacted in my core, and I've been afraid of it my whole life.
-I have a quasi-out-of-body experience when I tap into my power (and it is awesome!)
-I know what my "story" is and how it shows up in my life 1. I'm afraid 2. I'm not good enough 3. You don't get me.
-I can not only recognize this pattern, but I can choose to change it!
-As I become more authentic, my relationships & friendships shift.
-Breathing deliberately brings me into the present moment.
-Doing a vinyasa (flow) and breathing deliberately brings ease to my mind.
-I'm strong.
-There is joy in falling apart (mentally, physically, emotionally).
-I am connected to everyone and everything; there is no hierarchy.
-There is no separation between physical, mental, and spiritual health; all three affect me on a cellular level.
-I have formed lifelong bonds with these people because it is a bond based on truth.
-I feel more like myself, and I feel an awakening.
-I can trust my intuition.
-Feedback (constructive criticism) on a regular basis aids my growth.
-I tend to interchange perception for reality and/or intention for actuality.
-This is only the beginning.

C., Reading this post, I am so happy for you for going through this training. When I used to hear "yoga teacher," I thought of it as a vocation, but your experience shows me that it's so much more. I can't wait to hear stories of your teaching experiences.
Thanks, DK :) It's certainly changed a lot of things in my life. I used to think teaching yoga was about learning the poses, anatomy, and whatever else. But it's very little about those things and very much about who you are as a human being.
Miss you.
