My Yoga Journey 1-2-3 ( Hong Kong )

Yoga teacher training started day I felt so excited, went to Wan Chai Dickson Yoga early 30 mins. the reception girl saw me with weir expression , later I knew that Dickson never started his class on time so it's no need to be early, waiting with other TTC students for quite a long time.

When finally began I saw Dickson the first time, he's short in build but his skin so transparent and with healthy color , I asked him how he kept in such good condition , his skin was even better then girls , he said bcos of yoga and vegan, but taken meat for so many years it's hard to cut it.

The asistance was a fatty girl , she's just finsihed her TTc and help in the class for experience but when we doing downward facing dog she pushed me real hard for my forehead to touch ground , she's too brutal , i decided if any member choose teacher she would be out from student's list & took this as example I would never like this. She just came for few lessons then disappeared , might be Dickson also found her short coming.


Dickson taught us all the techniques in class ( even how to handle accidents )how to improve other's skill etc, just asanas ( poses )but no yoga theory. He also taught pranayama ( breathing ) a bit.

In the class a few student were from China, their demo with heavy accent always made us laugh , and some girls dressed sexily , hope those males could concentrate and not be affected.


In the class I found I was the poorer one , so when the new assistance came I asked his private lesson on how to teach and improve other skill.He charged $500 per lesson.Teacher Patrick was a multi hobbies man , he's in the field of stock and financa but he also incharge Dickson's constructing new center , screw diffing, running yoga center, and dating etc, didn't know how he arrange his time.


In Dickson's lesons we had to learn all basic poses and each pose we needed to remember how to tell it's benefit, quite hard when one need to demo pose and speak at the same time.



After nearly a year practise , the most horrible time for exam was coming. Rehearsal few times with Patrick , he said that I was too nervous , sometimes I would think I wasn't aim to be a teacher why should I bother with the exam that make me that tight in nerve.


The exam with few judges ( including Patrick ) my leading the class wasn't good bcos a fat boy in the class was a real first time beginner ( usually second level teachers would be pretend as beginner but suddenly changed a real one , it's killing me to help him at each pose )It's horrible but Dickson let me passed and I paid for the intermediate TTC
