I start my yoga teacher training tomorrow. I am mostly pretty excited about it. Also kind of nervous, although weirdly not about the training itself. I'm nervous that I'll spend all this time and money on it and then discover that it's not really want I want to do after all. Should I be worrying about that? If you really have a calling to do something, is that something you would even think about? Would it be okay for me to take this course even if I didn't think that I had a calling to teach yoga?
I'm also feeling anxious about the fact that I'll be away from Theo all day. I mean, Matt will be bringing him to me when he needs to nurse, but it's still going to be strange/hard/totally-liberating-who-am-I-kidding. Theo basically only goes down for naps for me, unless he's a) totally exhausted or b) in a stroller or carrier. Anyway, keep your fingers crossed that everything goes well for Matt tomorrow.
While we're talking about yoga - my teacher took these pictures of me on Thursday, because I've been having problems with my left shoulder. After checking me out carefully, she discovered that I have a mild scoliosis. Weird! I had no idea! I'm posting these mostly mostly for my own reference, so that I can take more pictures in a few months and see how much progress I've made.
You can kind of see how my left shoulder sticks out/rolls forward in this picture.
You can kind of see the scoliosis here - the base of my spine curves slightly toward the top of the picture, whereas my upper spine curves toward the bottom of the picture.
Both of my shoulders roll way forward in chaturanga, and my ass sticks up way in the air :/
My shoulders actually look okay here, yay!
