I knew what I wanted when I signed up for it, and I didn&#8217;t waver in my intention. It was just that I had been out of touch with the business district area since.. let&#8217;s just say forever. Also, being a full-time tuition teacher, I am interacting with younger people most of the time and so, I was having thoughts like, &#8220;Would I be anti-social among my course-mates? Would I be a good student &#8211; you know, being able to follow instructions, pay attention, stuff like that?&#8221; and so on.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, having paid the course fee being the main deterrent for backing out (kidding!), I braced myself and landed myself on one of the yoga mats at The Yoga Mandala on 5th November 2018. That day would continue holding a special place in my heart.<\/p>\n<p>So far, I&#8217;ve been feeling the opposite of what I felt initially. I actually look forward to going for class everyday. Not kidding! I love the meditation and asanas. I love how my course mates and I look out for each other. I am not really good with the Sanskrit but it&#8217;s okay because I just have to know it&#8217;s necessary or maybe I just need more time to grow to love it (hey, just being honest).<\/p>\n<p>As a student, I also love being corrected because, well, I like to be right. I know, the irony. But some things have to get worse to get better right? Fall to fly.. yada yada..<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re all different individuals, but gathered here for similar purposes. That, in itself, is cool enough. Add in two patient and loving instructors and you know we are ready to go.
