Yoga Update: I start my yoga teacher training (YTT) in Rocklin on Friday!! I have training the next four consecutive weekends (Fri-Sun) then it tapers off to one weekend a month from May to September. I cannot wait. I am a little nervous because I have no idea what to expect. I just found out we have a book list of about 6 books I had to order. I really love yoga but I have never actually studied techniques and proper body alignment (a.k.a movement anatomy!) so I hope I like it. It will be very interesting because this training is super comprehensive so we have to learn a bunch of different types of yoga and philosophies. Many of the philosophies are rooted in buddism and other "spiritual" types of origins. I'm apprehensive about this part but it will be interesting to learn everything. Of course, I will not be incorporating that type of thing into my practice when I'm a teacher; we just need to have a full understanding of philosophies and whatnot for a comprehensive training. I compare it to learning about other religions at school. Fascinating. I'm nervous.
PointBreak: Anyone every heard of it? It's a great organization. It is Christian based but not advertised that way to the public. I should say the people that run the organization are Christian and if anyone in counseling or group asks about God or has questions, they won't hesitate to answer. They have many different counseling type of services available including an adolescent sexuality class and presentations. They go around to schools in the area and do all-day presentations on sexuality. One of the ladies who runs this portion of the program came into our continuing education for C.A.S.A. and gave us a quick run down on the class/presentation. It's GREAT information! All truth and facts. It's a presentation that gives the kids the facts and both sides to everything - from the information they get to decide what they think about sex and about their body. They never say "Don't have sex" Anyways, for those of you who don't know.. about a year ago God put on my heart to go around and do presentations on adolescent sexuality! I put it in the back of my mind... and a year later a possible opportunity. I love public speaking, love teaching and have a passion for this topic! I love that it's Christian based too - ALL God's truth - Not worldly truth - All scientific facts mixed in and the thing I love is that God's truth is TRUTH. When listening to these presentations people think "Woah, that's so true. Never thought of it like that before" and NO ONE knows that it's God's truth.. it's just plain truth. Love it! So I am in the process of checking to see if they have any openings and/or an opportunity for me to actually see one of their school presentations. OH! They do the adolescent sexuality weekly classes for girls at Juvenile Hall! So cool.
Other than these updates, just trying to allow God to teach me something about Him everyday. Lately, he's been teaching me about being selflessness. We have hosted people in our home for the past couple of weeks. It's been a lot of work but so much fun! :) The work is totally worth it. And with Tim still in tax season working long hours... and.. my CASA child... and my friends.. I've been learning to meet others needs and in return my needs will be met because God knows my needs. I am so thankful to have a husband always attentive to my needs and meeting them many times before I know what they are myself. It's nice not to have to worry about that so I can be selfless focussing on others. I will say though that while trying to be selfless I do make sure I am taking care of myself. I think that's very important. Sooo.. I have been sleeping in and working out.. haha :)
