I’m Now Officially an “RYT”
“RYT” means “Registered Yoga Teacher” and I am official at the 200-hour level. This was my big goal for 2008 and now it’s done…which means, I have the rest of the year to slack off! Well, of course not…there’s so much to learn in yoga, it could take lifetimes.
I will never be the best yogini…I can’t do many advanced poses…my hamstrings are still tight (but loosening)…but I am enjoying teaching yoga. I feel I am a good teacher precisely because it does not come easy to me, and I understand the struggle to get into certain poses. I’d like to help more people who aren’t naturally fit, who have weight issues and health issues, people who could truly be transformed by yoga. It’s certainly made that kind of difference in my life, by being the way I climbed out of chronic fatigue syndrome as a full-on disability.
That’s great! The feeling and satisfaction of teaching others what you like is something you can’t buy with money. Hopefully, the world will be a better place with more healthy people (physically and spiritually) through your contribution to the yoga world.
