Immersion
Enrolled in Yoga teacher training for February,
it is a three week complete immersion
into the deep end of the pool.
Wondering if this old dog can learn new tricks;
or will I simply be overwhelmed and overmatched?
Ten textbooks arrived that I have been devouring;
part of a completed reading list prerequisite.
Enthralled with the wisdom of this ancient science,
I take my personal journey to a higher level.
Physically, my body doesn’t move like it once did;
some areas of flexibility are only a memory.
Understanding that a good teacher does not
have to be a perfect, but he needs the ability to lead.
Lead to union with breath, body, and mind;
to the edge of safety; to the surrender of life’s shackles.
This is my strength, my forte, my value;
ready to swim deeply in yogic waters…
immersion into the present, and into my future.
February 9th to the 27th
