Well, we made it through the first weekend! I found it exciting and exhausting all at once. I'm looking forward to my homework and the weekends to come.
Please feel free to comment.

Hi everyone,
As we get closer to our first weekend together, here are a few things that still need to be considered:
1. Attached to this email you will find a "Tuition and Agreement Form". Please read it over carefully. Bring a copy of this, signed and dated, to the studio at our first meeting March 26th.
2. If you haven't submitted all of your post-dated cheques for the entire training, please do so. If you are planning to make a full payment for the course, including the $100 discount, the payment must be made in full prior to our first session.
3. A reminder that our books are in at the Bookshelf. This is optional, but you may start reading: Chapter One and pages 28-39 of Anatomy of Movement and Chapter One, "The Living Principles, of Yoga Mind, Body, & Spirit.
4. What to bring: We will have a one hour lunch break on Saturday. You may bring a lunch or go out to one of the restaurants nearby. You do not need to bring all of your texts, but you may want to bring Anatomy of Movement since we will be referring to it.
Please also bring a new journal. This journal will be something you will be using throughout the whole training: to record observations and to write about your personal practice. We will talk more about this on the first weekend.
5. We will be starting right at 9am each morning. Arrive early to give yourself enough time to settle in.
If you have any questions or concerns, please let us know. And please use this email address.
Thank you everyone.
We look forward to seeing you soon!
Namaste,
Jacqueline

Books in at Bookshelf and first readings
Hi everyone,
Some of our texts are in at the Bookshelf. You can pick up the following: Heart of Yoga, Yoga Mind, Body, Spirit, Anatomy of Movement, The Breathing Book. There are some copies of Lovingkindness also available (more to come). The other texts are still on their way.
We thought you might be too excited to not dip into them before our first meeting! So this is optional, but for those of you who want to get a head start on your reading, here's where to begin: Chapter One and pages 28-39 of Anatomy of Movement and Chapter One, "The Living Principles, of Yoga Mind, Body, & Spirit.
The books are behind the front desk at the Bookshelf. Just let them know that you are taking the Yoga Teacher Training at Living Yoga and they will look after you. There is a 10% discount on all the titles.
Have fun!

Welcome
Welcome to the YTT Guelph blog. I hope this can be a great way of communicating while we travel this road to becoming yoga teachers. I'm not terrific at this blog management thing, but with your patience and help I think we can build this into quite a useful tool.
