Today was the first day of classes at the MTK. Just a pretty basic review of Tibetan Medicine and all that entails. It's not quite as similar to Ayurveda as I thought. If you're interested in learning more, let me know and I'll go into more detail. The hike up and down the mountain is half a mile and it kicked my butt. I'm going to be in awesome shape by the end of this week! Now I'm just puttering around on the computer, worrying about the weather and the chaos in North Minneapolis back at home. :-( I know it's not really in my area, but it's still "home."
Just wanted to mention really quick that my interpreters are AMAZING. I can't believe how hard they're willing to work to make this trip a success. They are super professional but still flexible and fun. They're such an asset to the group and I think they're really doing a wonderful job representing their profession. We had a nice discussion today about maybe once I'm a certified yoga teacher and have my M.Ed. I should develop some kind of course for interpreters to take to learn about self-care, since so many develop carpal tunnel syndrome and have surgeries that don't really help (especially since recent research confirms CTS starts in the neck). YAY new goal.
Love to all.
Steph
