On the road!

I am all packed and ready to go! I am only going as far as Salt Lake City tonight. Depending on the weather, I might play tourist and go see the famous Morman Tabernacle.

Monday, I will head to Bozeman, Montana. Noelle, from my group, is teaching her first class on Tuesday and I thought it would be nice to go to it. And Wednesday, weather permitting, I will be in Canada! Hooooray!

I will post when I get a chance. Thank you everyone for all your encouragement along the way on this incredible journey. It meant a lot to me.

Graduation!!!!!!

Bikram's grand entrance...



Waiting in line for my certificate...look at those rockin' shoes! Even Bikram complemented me on them!



Finally, the certificate! It's not a very clear picture, but you get the drift! They had a professional photographer so we'll get a copy of that one sent to us.



Ta-daaaa!


"Hello, my name is Shirley. I AM your yoga teacher!"

We had to say the above before every posture clinic dialogue. Now it is true!!

Week 9 done!!

The week of lasts. Our Friday morning yoga class was the last one with Rajashree. Our last lecture in the afternoon - I said goodbye to my chair lol! Then finally...our last class forever in teacher training! Bikram taught of course. I took a picture of myself in the side mirror just as the LAST class was starting.

The tent was packed with visiting teachers, family and friends. It was pandemonium in there at the end of the final breathing exercise. People were hugging, laughing, crying [me, of course! lol], clapping, and cheering. What a feeling it was!

We were given Friday night off. Leanne, Michelle, and I joined some other yogi's and yogini's at an Indian restaurant. When we got back to the hotel, we all gathered in my room, including Lisa. It was nice for the four of us to spend the last night together. Lisa slept over as her roommate's husband had arrived for grad, and they were in her room.

We are all still in stunned mode, not quite believing we are done!
