I feel that my journey through Sonic’s Teacher Training can only be told through poetry…..because it allows for raw and unapologetic ways in which it has enriched my life.
It’s like going on vacation with one suitcase and leaving with ten and then frustrated that you had to pay extra to check bags. It’s like the feeling you get when you rock that head stand for the first time…even for a moment.. like all the hard work you put in was worth the wait. It’s like looking up at the night sky you feel small but safe because you know you’re a part of something bigger. It’s like a sunburn that lingers and stings because painful memories came to the surface and how dare you but they never let you leave without Aloe. The realization that it’s OK to be hurt and angry and scared and confused…. It’s that sharp-toothed beautiful dreadful aggravating all encompassing I can’t breath kinda love…. the kinda love where it was better to experience for one second then not at all…and how can I ever repay that?
I’m taking all of those wonderful experiences out into the world in so many ways! I completed a mentorship with Keith Partington and now currently enrolled in Sonic’s 300-hr YTT. I’m teaching yoga to high school kids in the South Bronx, and to the international and local members of my karate organization. I also work for a company called Fittours NYC and give sunrise yoga tours in Central Park. I’ve taught community classes here at Sonic and now will be periodically subbing classes so come out and show some love!
In moments of stillness, do the work….then deep in the chaos comes clarity. Namaste!
