The Universe Making It Happen

While I never thought I would actually ever teach yoga, my life has taken me on a journey that has lead me here.

I left India without my training. I knew it would deepen my practice and I knew I would benefit emmensely from it, but I was not ready. I knew that I would just have to make a trip back there to take it when I was ready. It would happen if it was meant to.
Over the past year or so, I had been actively looking for teacher training programs that would work for me. I almost dedicated myself to driving two and a half hours down island every weekend for the duration of the program to get my certification. I had also looked into a series of ten day intensives, but realistically the travel would eat into my budget and the travel and couch surfing would grow tiresome. Again I put the idea on hold. I really wanted to do it and could not stop thinking about it, but where I live there were no courses being offered.
Then one magical day, word came that the small studio here in my teeny tiny town was going to offer the training!!!! Who knew? I had hoped for it regularly, but who would have figured it would actually happen?
The next obstacle was financing. Not my favourite subject, but after attending the information session I was pumped and determined. I filled in my application form and decided that if other people can do things when they are not financially free to do so, so too could I! I began putting it out there to the universe, telling everyone I knew that I was planning to do it and that it was going to happen. The universe would provide, and it did!!!
It was a definate moment of clarity for me. I had identified exactly what I wanted and made it happen. It made me once again step back and look at my life. In doing so, I realized that the moments in my life where I have made things happen for myself all began with a clear vision and goal. If you do not know exactly what you want in life, exactly what you are looking for, how will you know when you find it?
