Like the Lotus

The last evening of our Yoga Coach training and it feels kinda strange that it is all coming to a close. As people start to connect into their lives outside of our YC bubble, you can feel the wind down effect of a 3 week intensive program such as this. We are all full, but yet we are all energised and inspired by the process that we have been through. It is amazing to see the transformations in people, how we have all expanded and grown in various ways. We have laughed and we have cried, we have seen parts of ourselves that we perhaps did not know existed and we are all leaving with enormous smiles and warmth in our hearts. Hearing about people's dreams never fails to inspire me - to share in the cultivation of tiny seeds of ideas and to watch them develop and grow and even come into bloom just like the lotus is incredible. I feel lucky to be able to share that with so many wonderful people, that I can honestly say, are truly going to change people lives.

We have all seen and heard our inner critics, faced our fears on a daily basis and come full circle to inspiration and gratitude - in awe of the opportunities that lay ahead. It is wonderful to sit up and say "anything is possible" and know what it feels like to believe that in every cell of your body. This past 3 weeks has been about so many things, about each of us individually on our own little path, about us connecting with each other and the beauty that forms in relationships that did not exist 21 days earlier, about learning and growing together and ultimately, about us realising our potential so we can help others to do the same. I am feeling incredible gratitude to the 9 women and 2 blokes that I have had the pleasure of sharing the YC journey with here - each and everyone one of them has given me something that I have taken into the tapestry of my heart.

I could not have picked a more perfect way to spend my last 21 days on this part of my adventure, it has been like coming home of sorts, of coming back to what I know, of coming back to my body, of coming back to my mind and of coming back to me. So thank you to all of my new YC sangha and to Mark who as always has been incredible, I still have to pinch myself to believe I am this lucky to have such an amazing teacher.  So only a 1/2 day tomorrow before a final day in Bali, and the next adventure begins :)
