The last few of days flew by. We had a couple of classes with Craig Villani, which were tough to say the least but it was pretty cool to see how far all of us have come since the beginning of training because pretty much everyone was up doing the postures. Our last class with Rajashree Friday morning was awesome, she has a way of..."killing you softly". My mom got in Friday afternoon and took our last class with Bikram that evening. That last class was packed with visiting teachers & family members, it was pretty cool. It was an awesome class, kind of sad at the end but no tears from me...I still had another "last" class Saturday morning. Friday night we had a talent show which was awesome. Some of the skits are supposed to be posted to YouTube so I will post a link to them when they show up. You've got to watch them, they're hilarious.
So then my real last class Saturday morning was really a good class. It was cooler than usual which made it feel more like a "normal" class that I would have at home. Diane Ducharme taught & I really enjoy her classes so that was a good way to end my training. My mom & I then spent the afternoon laying out before getting ready for graduation which started at 4. Graduation lasted 5 hours! Man was it long! Afterwards there was a really nice dinner set up for us outside on an open green space the hotel had. That's when I started to get sad :( It was hard to say goodbye to people, but quite a few of us have good intentions of visiting in the near future.
So now, 5 days after training I can say that that was the best thing I have ever done in my life. Yes, it was the HARDEST thing I've ever done but it was, so far, the most rewarding. I learned so much about life, myself, other people... oh & yoga :) I will never forget my experiences during those 9 weeks & I will never forget the people. I now have connections all over the world & a new family of 309 people. That's pretty cool :)
