Dear Bun:

I read your posts in your thirteen threads. You read like an honest, direct person, telling it like it is, not asking for sympathy or pity, making light of things. I felt affection for you, while reading your writings.

Your current yoga teacher training experience- not at all in the spirit of yoga. I suppose it is a lot of physical exercise, devoid of the yoga philosophy of life. So what you have is a bad high school experience with a racist sentiment,  as the cherry on top.

Depending on how long you have left, I am guessing that it is better for you to graduate the program and get the certificate, so that you can use it when you return to your country. Your previous work (clubs) was lucrative but didn’t fit your personality and reads to me that it caused or increased your anxiety and occasional depressed feeling. So better graduate this and try to make the best out of that certificate: use it to teach, but add the spirit of yoga to your teaching (a spirit that is lacking in your current training).

And post again, anytime. I will be glad to read from you and reply when you do post.
