Self-fulfilling prophecy

When I first read my topic for this blog post, I immediately giggled and thought of all the superhero movies that my children love. It sounds so epic and mysterious. It doesn't sound like a real-life situation, but I know it is. I just haven't thought that hard about it until now. I started practicing yoga over ten years ago and always dreamed of becoming a yoga teacher. I envisioned my classes and how I would structure them. I would think of awesome playlists and think about how I could connect my real-life situations to a class "feel" or intention. Little did I know, but I would fulfill this dream but in a different way. Two years ago, I was deep into my Master's in Elementary Education program and a local studio offered a children's yoga teacher training weekend. I never thought about teaching yoga to children one day. My dream was to always teach yoga to adults in the future. When I was told about the training weekend, my prophecy flipped and ignited. I loved teaching children in a classroom setting. I loved practicing yoga. Why not combine the two?! I took the training and it changed my life. I was hooked. Last April, I began my 200 yoga teacher training and graduated in August. I took this to better equipped to teach teenagers. I also have found my way along this path with family yoga. This has become my "thing". I love every second of it. Yoga has transformed my classroom teaching philosophy and has opened new doors and passions. I started the very first public school yoga club in Berkeley County and have introduced calming strategies to my students. My prophecy to teach yoga to adults never was fulfilled, however, it led to another one that makes my life and career feel complete and right. As for my observation video, I have a very hard time watching myself. I get very insecure and tear myself apart. It wasn't easy and I hope to get better and more comfortable with this.
