My yoga teacher training has really begun to open me up. It's giving me more self-confidence, piquing my interest in other modalities of alternative healing, and I've seen some muscles I didn't know existed in my arms starting to appear. ;)
During our most recent weekend of YTT, I taught my first 75-minute yoga class. It was incredibly nerve-wracking leading up to it (I've never been a great public speaker), but afterwards, talk about a sense of accomplishment. I seemed to get more relaxed as I got into the class, and if I felt a flash of anxiety, I could recover and bring myself back within the pose.
That same weekend I guided yoga nidra. If you're not familiar with yoga Nidra, it's a yogic "nap." You're not really asleep, but you're guided into a state of deep relaxation. That was also pretty scary for me, but my "students" all loved it. :)
It's hard to believe we're already 7 months into our training. Only 3 more weekend sessions and I'll be a certified 200-hour yoga teacher!
Over the last two weeks, I did yoga on a horse, on a stand-up paddleboard and I had a reiki session. If you're scratching your head wondering "why?!" or "what the heck is reiki," I'll explain...
Wow. Talk about exhilarating and nerves. I'm familiar with horses, I had a pony when I was younger and took lessons for a few years. So my awareness of their ability to unintentionally hurt someone made this experience a little less relaxing than I'd hoped for.
Not to discredit the experience, I enjoyed the practice and being around a horse again after a 5-year hiatus. However, I don't think this will be a regular style of yoga I'll be taking up.
If you currently have balance issues, be prepared if you try SUP Yoga. It's a very strange sensation to be in downward dog (or any other yoga pose for that matter) while the ground moves beneath you.
The class I took was a Full Moon SUP Yoga class, so it was in the evening and dark by the time we were done. Luckily I didn't fall in, however, I did have a couple close calls and one of the other girls did.
SUP Yoga requires serious balance and control. I'm excited to try it again this summer when I'd happily jump in and have fewer worries about falling in.

Reiki... if you've been a reader here a while, or know me at all, you know that my home and purse are scattered with crystals. Reiki is a similar form of energy that cleanses and aligns your chakras.

After I go through my training and I better understand how to explain it, I'll write a full post on Reiki and my training. I'm going through the training to offer it to my future yoga students in Shavasana (a final pose in yoga practices) as it provides an amazing sense of relaxation.
