Dominique Domingo Instagram – After 9 years of practicing Yoga as a student, I taught my first public Yoga class today after completing my 200hr Yoga Teacher Training Course. This day has been a long time coming. The photo in the next slide is me back in 2014, pretending like I had any clue about how to teach a yoga class. Turns out I didn’t 😂 I had just started practicing yoga myself, didn’t even want to teach but my friends asked me to and believed that I could so I tried. I think I froze the first 10mins and just sat there in silence “meditating” trying to think about what to do next which is when this photo was probably snapped 😂 Even though it wasn’t my time yet then, I had a sense that I’d be in that position again. I danced with the idea of Yoga Teacher Training every couple of years from then until now and the timing just never felt aligned until recently. I was scared to jump in for a couple reasons but mostly because I knew it would require the leader in me to come consciously forward. And for a long time I doubted the idea that I could lead. It sounds silly but it was how I felt. For whatever reason, it doesn’t really matter. Even though I was unconsciously taking on leadership roles in many ways throughout my life, whenever someone would ask me to consciously claim it, I’d shrink. I’ve been told by different people throughout my life, who’s opinions I value, that I’m a natural leader. And I knew underneath the doubt that that was true. I personally feel there is a beautiful responsibility that comes with leading, guiding and holding space for people. And I’m now in a place in my life where I trust I can actually hold the responsibility. It took some time to get here and yet I feel I’m right on time. I don’t know where this new beginning will lead me and I honestly don’t need to know. I’m just proud of myself right here and now 😌
Forever grateful to my wise and open hearted YTT Teachers✨🤍🧘🏾♀️ @eringrossmanyoga @kateharmonyyoga @gwenyeageryoga @reddiamondyoga
