Sat Nam. This is Katya Akermann. Because of my legendary German efficiency, I have landed with the unenviable task of co-ordinating the USA Yoga Alliance Registered 200 Hours Teacher Training Program. Trying to bring some semblance of order in JK's life (and get her to teach what she is supposed to) requires superhuman effort (please just call me Superwoman). She has turned away three students at the last minute, and invited someone to join, who is not interested in 200 hours. Don't ask me how her mind works. Something are best left alone.
The fortunate thing is, JK is very very positive about this group. There will be five, and I will get JK to introduce them to you later in her own words - for now, we will refer to the five as YTTs.
It is 8pm, and the group has just finished their first lesson. JK called to ask me to set up the blog, because looks like this mob has a lot to say. They will be working in pairs and threes. The topics covered tonight are:
1. Satsang and Kirtan - starting the preparation now
2. Journaling
3. Philosophy
4. Intro to Sanskrit
5. The Eightfold Path
6. History
7. The ancient yoga books
8. Meaning of the word 'yoga' (translation vs tranliteration)
Assignments
1. Critique
2. Read assigned books
3. You interpretation of the concepts
Esther - you will be starting at 9am on Friday.
YTTs - all 9.30am.
Start blogging, YTTs. The password is in your email.
PS. Tony, who is one of the YTTs, have moved into the shala for the duration of the training, so Tony, have a good night sleep - you're going to need it!!!!
