I'm so happy you have found my blog and ...Jill! I'm so happy you have found my blog and it has been inspirational and encouraging for you. I have fallen in love with writing it and I will continue to write as I continue this journey...being a yogi doesn't end after 9 weeks, maybe I'll have to change the title. Let me tell you, making the decision to go to TT is a huge one. I was a mess, I decided to leave a very comfortable income and health benefits in order to spend a lot of money on something that most other people just don't understand, "why is it 10,000 dollars, my friend went to training for like 200 bucks, she spent a weekend at a resort? why don't you do that?" Bikram yoga is it man, it seriously IS hatha yoga, it's old it comes from India, the starting place, so why would you not go to the source if you are a Bikram yoga student. Once I made the decision I was freaking out for a month, a total emotional roller coaster, but the training itself, was amazing. There were moments that I wanted to scream and I thought to myself "really,?" but then I got on the plane home, and I was talking to the man next to me and man...I was a yoga teacher, I was educated, I felt confident, I was so happy to share my knowledge with him and he promised me that he would take himself and his fiance (who is sick with Cancer) to Bikram yoga when he landed. Since then I've been high, teaching yoga is better than practicing yoga....So if your heart is telling you to go...go, and 33 your a baby! Yoga makes you young...but of course everyone had different expierences and I can only tell you to follow your heart, stay present and breathe! Keep reading and keep in touch! I would love to hear about TT for you! and maybe take your class in the future!!!mollyjanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17994659618145514856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5727162008567351787.post-25461149379544233942011-06-24T14:19:57.454-07:002011-06-24T14:19:57.454-07:00Molly, your blog is inspirational and encouraging....Molly, your blog is inspirational and encouraging. I am planning on going to TT in the fall. I am a little distrubed after reading a blog from someone else who just finished TT also. They said to take what they said w/ grain of salt..but I can't help to think that I'm about to spend $10900+ for nine weeks and listen to Bikram talk about all his bentlys and hundreds of dollar diamond watches...I am passionate about Bikram yoga..I feel a calling to it. I have everything in place, but the money is stressing me out. Do you have any suggestions or recommendations? Basically, after reading that blog I am FREAKING out!!! My family is not supportive. My sister hopes I break something so I don't go. LOL (kind of)...They think I am making a big mistake and a poor choice...keep in mind I am 33 years old..YIKES...Thank you for you blog and sharing your experience.
