day one of the parayoga (registered mark goes here) level one test! i joke about the registered mark because it's odd to brand yoga, but in this day and age, branding is a way to make a living and i want my yoga teacher to thrive in order to teach and fulfill his dharma.
anyway, it's important for me to be certified in this lineage because i want to fully represent the kind of yoga i practice and teach. i'm not very rebellious when it comes to what i really want. i shop at whole foods even though it's trendy and expensive. i buy aveda face products even though it's trendy and expensive. and i'm becoming a certified parayoga (r in a circle) yoga teacher...not because it's trendy or expensive (have you seen how much aadil palkhivala charges for his trainings?), but because i want to honor the teachings and my teacher by making it legit, yo.
also, i like having deadlines and assignments, being the project oriented person that i am. i like writing book reports and researching answers to these open book test questions. i'm kinda stressed about this process, but here i go.
day one, in the can. i worked over 2.5 hours on the test. i can totally do this. i basically know the answers to all (yes, i think all!) of the questions, but it's nice having the option to research the answers so i can explain them better.
haven't found my voice answering the questions, yet, but i will. i'm just writing info right now. i'll personalize the answers soon enough. i have until 12/11 to submit the answers. end of day one. ding!
