To learn more about the Wanderlust Yoga Teacher Training program,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/wanderlust.com\/yoga-teacher-training\/\">click here<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u2022 \u2022 \u2022<\/p>\n<p>In the Wanderlust teacher training, we study, in detail, the many aspects of yoga: physical, mental and spiritual in an effort to help us think more deeply about the kind of yoga we feel drawn to as individual teachers.<\/p>\n<p>When we open ourselves up to yoga, we slip gradually into a very peaceful, relaxed feeling. Living in this graceful state, we can sense a field of possibilities, a place oozing with so much potential. We are reaching up towards it with outstretched arms, and it is also lovingly reaching back towards us. This is the beginning of our journey.<\/p>\n<p>We then begin to explore\u00a0the pathway, inhabiting the phases of our very own life journey, towards the people and places calling out to us. In order to do that, we must make sense of all the various forks in the road.<\/p>\n<p>This one is woodsy with evergreens and mountains in the distance, and that one over there, well hey, it looks kind of like a jungle with lush fruit and strange buildings. Maybe I will take the one lined with sunflowers that leads me towards a tiny cottage in a meadow.<\/p>\n<p>Life truly is a gift, overflowing with abundance, but how do we walk bravely into that realm laying just beyond us, when we have never been there before? One of the greatest things you can do is literally pack up your knapsack and hit the road.<\/p>\n<p>You have to be willing to get lost in the maze for a while. When you\u2019ve never been to a foreign city before, you are so lost that you need a map. You can go to Paris or Rome and see so many interesting things that you just walk and walk until your feet are ready to fall off.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s the feeling that we need to grab a hold of when we are exploring our future. Exploring is messy and you can get your hands dirty here. There aren\u2019t any rules\u2013it\u2019s your adventure, after all.<\/p>\n<p>When you step out, get loose with it. It\u2019s time to jump in and go for that AcroYoga you\u2019ve been scared of, jump up on the DJ table and show us what you\u2019ve got, or go some suspension yoga hanging like a fool on a silk rope. It\u2019s okay, we\u2019re nervous, too.<\/p>\n<p>Exploring is not only wild, it\u2019s also an inherently creative process. When you let yourself just dive in, then you can see the world as it is \u2013 a wonder to behold. Suddenly you are surrounded by the sea and all of its beautiful creatures and life forms.<\/p>\n<p>Think about swimming with the dolphins and how much fun they have. This is what we are going for. Feel free to jump around and be silly. It\u2019s time to let go and see what happens. You might find a few new things to like.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/wanderlust.com\/yoga-teacher-training\/\" class=\"su-button su-button-style-default\" style=\"color:#FFFFFF;background-color:#2d6655;border-color:#245244;border-radius:5px;-moz-border-radius:5px;-webkit-border-radius:5px\" target=\"_self\"><span style=\"color:#FFFFFF;padding:0px 24px;font-size:18px;line-height:36px;border-color:#6c9488;border-radius:5px;-moz-border-radius:5px;-webkit-border-radius:5px;text-shadow:none;-moz-text-shadow:none;-webkit-text-shadow:none\"> Learn more about the Wanderlust Teacher Trainings<\/span><\/a>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">&#8212;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-4281\" src=\"http:\/\/live-wanderlust-fest.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/headshot.jpg\" alt=\"headshot\" width=\"200\" height=\"260\" \/>Dr. Amy Champ is a scholar, yogini and writer dedicated to all the simple things in life.
