Today is the 3rd day of the 2nd annual Yoga Conference here in Vancouver. I was registered for an 8am workshop. Remembering last year's Conference and being booked for an early 8am workshop I wanted to give myself lots of time so I wouldn't feel rushed or stressed, right? I'm going to a yoga conference after all.
My alarm didn't go off this morning, which was set for 5:45am. I woke up naturally but assumed it was too early and didn't look at the clock. Finally I glanced at the clock just to see how much time I had left...it was 6:05!! Already 15 minutes behind schedule! Luckily I had prepared and organized everything the night before. All I had to do was shower, eat breakfast and brush my teeth. Finally got out the door at 7am. Yes I was a little stressed now, but in the back of my mind I knew there was nothing I could do about it and settled with the fact that I might be situated at the back of the room struggling to see and hear the teacher. So I'm out the door and I walk to the skytrain and it arrives moments later, I'm on my way. The train wasn't as full and there were no delays like last year. There wasn't even a crowd spilling out onto the platform anxiously heading for the conference. There was no line up at the registration desk, yay for me but where is everyone?! So now that I have my registration pass I finally check the time, 7:40am only 10 mins behind schedule. I head straight up to my first workshop and I can't believe that I'm the first one there. So even though I woke up late the journey was still a success.
Today's workshops:
A Dual Approach: Pilates and Yoga -with Maria Garre
Master Headstand and Shoulderstand -with Martin Kirk
Both were excellent and I definitely learned some new things. I'm not going to go into the workshops and what I learned from them because I'm still processing everything, both mentally and physically. Both teachers are amazing and a master in their craft.
