Mary's Yoga Thoughts

My name is Mary Young. I'm working on completing a 200 hr Yoga Teacher Training, and I'm using this blog to document tidbits of my learnings along the way. I've been practicing yoga off and on for more than 10 years, and participating in this YTT has been a special treat to myself. It is a gift to be invited to dive deeper into Asana, philosophy and ethics of yoga, develop a consistent personal practice, and share my love of yoga with others.  On this journey, I have tried to keep a 'beginners mind', be open and teachable...learning from my teacher, Syl, at Bodhi Yoga  and her depth of knowledge and experience. I also learned from many other teachers, authors, yogis and philosophers, as well as my friends, nature, my body, yoga practice, meditation, personal challenges, and the Divine. I was even inspired by injuries and limitations this year as I learned to adapt. Everything can be a teacher when you are open to learning. I am filled with gratitude for the lessons
