Yogi
Why this job?
I once attended yoga classes. Admittedly, it was a long time
ago now, but I have always longed to return. I enjoyed those classes so much; the
breathing, the control, the music and the fact that it was exercise. I always
left feeling invigorated. Through the years I have thought about starting it
again and I really don’t know why I haven’t. But a yogi is an expert I hear you
cry! Yes, it is and in my spiritual fantasy world I imagine myself running off
to some remote location in India
and spending 6-12 months ‘studying’ Yoga and meditation. Maybe my romantic
ideals are what have prevented me from attending a class – because maybe if I
did, then would I really need to runaway and spend so long meditating and
yoga-ing?
Why would I be good at this job.
I do enjoy teaching. I like people. I could happily run the
classes and handle the administrative side too. Although, predominantly
enthusiastic and earnest (think puppy dog), I am patient and can be very mellow
(think spaced out hippy).
Why I wouldn’t be good at this job.
A lot of classes are held in the evenings and sometimes till
late, did I mention my aversion to late nights yet?? I did! Shocking! I am not
a fan of lycra. I am prone to burst into fits of giggles for unknown reasons,
usually an inside joke and usually inside my head.
Do you consider yourself to be spiritual? Are there any
alternative therapies that you enjoy?
I have always wanted to learn yoga! We just got it here but I'm too chicken to go!
ReplyDeleteSpiritual yes, religious no...they are two completely separate beasts!
This is my favorite one yet!!
Its great! Do it. Drag Am or T with you.
ReplyDeleteHa! Like I could see either one of them doing yoga!!
DeleteI like to listen to relaxation cds to ease the stress of everyday life,

I don't have one but once downloaded a meditation podcast. It was great.
DeleteI've never taken classes, but I did some on my own. Just a way to stretch and relax while watching TV. Hard to do the relaxing part now with a toddler running about!
ReplyDeletelol! I tried the yoga on the wii and my niece liked to do that, the challenge where you have to sit as still as possible to stop the candle from burning - but she was 3 at the time.

Hi Donna, thank you! I am soooo close, but with only one day remaining, I dont know if I can do it. Will have to write a pretty amazing Z post. I am glad to have got this far all the same.
DeleteI would like to take a yoga class, too, but my mind is always racing too much and I heard in yoga, that is a no-no. I have tried meditating, but just can't seem to clear my mind of thoughts. Once, I even tried to get hypnotized to quit smoking, but the hypnotization didn't work. Go figure.

I have heard that hypnotherapy is short term and you usually have to go every few months. It can be hard to clear your mind but yoga might actually help you to do this, because you have to focus on your breathing and your position.
DeleteHi, Kate!
ReplyDeleteIt is a pleasure to connect with your blog during the A-Z Challenge. Glad to be your follower and to help you to meet that 100 mark. I do hope you will visit my blog and add to my numbers; doing my best to get to the 100 mark!
Beautiful blog you have here! I will definitely return to examine it more thoroughly in the future!
Yoga! I've been practicing yoga since I was ten years of age. Yoga is a wonderful art form! I have reaped many benefits over the years as a result of practicing it!
It has great spiritual benefits also; the meditation aspect and the breathing!
I think teaching classes would be wonderful; I do understand your dilemma and I know you will choose what is best for you!
An alternative therapy for me would be being out in nature!
