Yoga?

I have landed myself an internship position at a yoga studio in Summerland! It’s called evolation yoga and it’s in the Big Yellow House that you can see as you’re driving on the 101. It’s kind of funny how I got the job anyway.

During the fall semester, I had landed myself a couple of babysitting gigs (courtesy to Kirsten for getting me started J) and in January, one of the families I had been babysitting for asked if I was interested in taking on an internship position! Turns out, the parents are co-owners of the studio and were looking to get a little bit of extra help around the business. I had a small idea of what I’d be getting myself into, but no idea that it was a yoga studio.
 
I had finally met the partners in early March and we discussed my tasks and schedule very briefly, but I still had no clue that I would be working at a yoga studio. Finally, I receive a text from one of the parents describing brief tasks that are usually done in the studio… the “yoga” studio. I was a little caught by surprise because I had no experience or knowledge about yoga and started to doubt whether or not I would be fit for the job.

In the next three days, I had kind of just sat and twiddled my thumbs wondering what I got myself into, how would I even handle the job if I knew nothing about what the passions of the studio were, and why am I even seen as an asset to this business? You could say the doubt ate me alive. But, little did I know that this has been such an exciting new journey that I would be taking on. On March 14th, I officially started at the studio and I’m very proud because as of this point, I have taken five yoga classes and have not yet died during any of them. I know five not seem like much at all in the span of 3.5 weeks, but it’s definitely an accomplishment to me!

See you next post,

Chey
