The Eternal Student

I love to learn.  And the discipline of being taught, more than trying to motivate myself to study with no formal deadlines or assessments.

Too often we all hear that we only get one shot at this life, and sometimes you have to go out on a limb where you never in a million years expected yourself to go.

It was the same when i embarked on my massage training - having never massaged anyone (or touched any random strangers that closely) in all my days, I signed up to do a year long (weekend a month) therapeutic massage course, which was the pre-requisite to doing sports massage (another 10 months of weekend a month), which was the ultimate aim.  This was about 10 years ago, and now sports massage forms an ongoing part of my weekly routine.

Fast forward to now, and having 'found' yoga about 2 years ago, I've signed up to do a 12 month (weekend a month) teacher training course with Merchant City Yoga in Glasgow.  With just 2 weeks until the initial training weekend, I am filled with both excitement and trepidation and what lies ahead. 

I keep telling people that 'I may never actually teach'...and right now this is true.  However, what if this turns out to be something I'm actually quite good at, that people would like to practice yoga with me, and it could be something that becomes a bigger part of my future.

If you don't try, you'll never know!

This blog will be part of telling my story as the next year unfolds...tales of 'student' life and where the journey takes me.
