always a Student of Yoga but no longer a Student Yoga Teacher...

Posted by Lauren Daisy Clarke · 2 October 
Today I am no longer a Student Yoga Teacher.. but I will always be a student of Yoga, my 4 years with the British Wheel of Yoga, (2 years as Derbyshire County Rep) Foundation 1 & 2, my 3 year Teacher Training is officially complete... it hasn't really had time to digest but to now draw a line under this part of my life feels very cathartic.. as one chapter closes another will begin & for that I am most grateful.. whenever I say to myself.... I have learned so much.. I am always reminded of
Hafez’s “I Have Learned So Much“ (translated by Daniel Ladinsky in 'The Gift')

...I have learned so much from God
That I can no longer call myself A Christian, a Hindu, a Muslim, a Buddhist, a Jew.
The truth has shared so much of itself with me
That I can no longer call myself
A man, a woman, an angel, or even a pure soul.
Love has befriended Hafez so completely, it has turned to ash and freed me… Of every concept and image, my mind has ever known.

Glapwell class


 I owe a lot to this class, after completing my first assessed class I wanted a break & decided to stop teaching.. a lovely man gave me a call looking for a yoga teacher, he had beginner students waiting.. so I went.. & I taught them & I stayed & they worked hard, they improved but so did I, even when the studio is complete I hope I honour this class by staying with them till they have had enough of me 





and since March....

having lost my iMac many months ago, & of course being in my final year of my Yoga TT.. i really did  lose interest in updating things
