Somewhere in the last couple of months the joy slipped away from my Bikram practice. Fall ‘09 Teacher Training is on the horizon and money must be raised/saved. Not a natural fundraiser, (my family bought the band chocolate and softball raffle tickets) I get a headache imagining ringing doorbells, explaining Bikram, explaining TT, explaining me!
Lost in my own fears and worst case scenarios, the phone rang and an old friend was there to say exactly what I needed to hear in the only way I could hear it. “Don’t sweat the money stuff.” Right. There’s clearly enough sweat in the practice. So, with chest up and heart out, I set my intention to enJoy my practice again!

I’m with you on this! A month ago I was worked up over saving $ and my impending unemployment, pimples, rashes and a cold sore came over to say hello.
Right now, after hearing some rather depressing news from my studio director, I’m not quite sure if I should go to BYTT at all…
i’m not even thinking about training. if i raise the money, great! if not, i still have my practise and that’s all i really need. i was hanging out with some homeless people this weekend and it really made me appreciate everything i have, especially being able to practise daily.
Don’t stress about the money. Manifest it. Imagine yourself with PLENTY of money to cover your expenses around Teacher Training.
Funny enough… the only reason I can afford to go is because I was laid off at my job a few months back… And I saved the randomly large severance check I got.
