So you want to be a yoga teacher.

Reading up on the teacher training I'll be attending this summer (!!!), some of my hidden, inner thoughts on the manner are this:  I'm having to look up A LOT of the sanskrit names for poses I think I know.  (Judgement.)

crescent pose = anjaneyasana
bound angle pose = baddha konasana
mountain pose = tadasana
chair pose = utkatasana
standing forward bend = uttanasana

Yeesh!

I used to think that I would do yoga teacher training (YTT) when I had, at the very least, mastered hand stand (adho mukha vrksasana).  Then, upon realizing that I wasn't "mastering" anything (much less adho mukha vrksasana), I figured I'd just wait it out and know when it was time.

But now I'm roughly three months from starting formal training, and I feel like I should know ALL THE NAMES OF ALL THE POSES.  It reminds me of this comic from this blog that I love so dearly:

Right.  Because the brain works like that.
