Today is my final day of class and I have recorded all 214 days of it. I have documented my ups an d downs. I have recorded thoughts and feelings. I let go of people and emotions that were tied to them. I have archived the transformation that has taken place within me.

I reflect on my experience and the most valuable take away for me is that people are all the same. The personality that I clash with the most exists no matter where I am in the world. However, the person that I am has changed. The way that I react to those personalities or behaviors is all up to me.

It doesn’t matter who much you feel wronged. It doesn’t even matter what the actions were. What matters is your ability to bounce back up and rise up again. I can’t say that my entire experience in the class was completely perfect because that would be a complete and total lie. However, I can say that I regret none of it and am blessed to have that experience.

I had a desire to change and be the best I could be and met that challenge in ways that I couldn’t even have imagined. I went to class even when I didn’t want to. I got up early and performed my asana and pranayama when I just wanted to stay in bed. I challenged myself to do more and learn as much as I could. Learning the philosophy of yoga is hard enough but you are also learning a different language, Sanskrit.

I can say that I am changed from within. My love for people has grown and my life is completely blessed. With that said, I must announce that I will be started to write on this blog on Monday, Wednesday and Fridays now. I have enjoyed writing but need to focus on getting my yoga website, jeremyeatonyoga.com, ready. I will be announcing soon when it is done.
