New to the Community!

Hello all!

My name is Gina and I just joined this site today. I’m not new to forums like this, I am actually an administrator of another board (completely unrelated topic though), but I am really excited to have found this one.

Anyway, I have been practicing yoga for the past 5 years or so, on and off, and have recently kind of stepped into the next level with a Mysore Ashtanga class that I have been doing for the past few months. I’ve really expanded physically and also spiritually, and my love for yoga has been deepening with it.

I am currently dealing with a little wrist injury, which makes the Mysore difficult, but I took the last week off, and am hoping it will feel better this Wednesday.

I’m also a vegan, which I realize is a bit of a yoga cliche, but that has been more important to me for longer than yoga has been. They are just two things I am passionate about that happen to fit together. I have two cats, and currently work with animals, although I am trained as a high school chemistry teacher.

I have intentions of attending a yoga teacher training sometime next year, but I would like to have another solid year of practice under my belt before going there.

Anyway, it is nice to meet all of you, I am looking forward to becoming part of the community!

Welcome Gina, it’s nice to meet you! A forum admin huh? Cool!

What sort of teacher training are you looking at?

Hi GinaKina,

I use to practice Ashtanga all the time, and have started on a yoga teacher training course. I am amazed at how much I heave learnt’ and grown in just the few months of this course. Since starting yoga I have had plenty of growth, but this course is turbo charging that growth. and Jala Neti for me, has such a positive effect on me.

It s a good plan you have to get some yoga behind you before you start teaching, I am glad I have a number of years behind me, it makes learning to be a teacher that much easier.

Welcome to the the clan :slight_smile:

Even though I’m a newbie too, and I still have to do my own intro, I had to wave hello!

Especially since I’m also an administrator at a totally unrelated board (not the same one as you) and a vegan as well!
