I once met a guy in yoga who had so many coincidental things in common with me that we had a lot of laughs as we found each one out. We went to the same college at the same time, (in another state). Our birthdays were a day apart. We had left the same religion. Things like that.
We were both new to yoga on the same trial plan and then signed up and seemed to prefer the same classes.
About a year in he told me I should take teacher training. He had just finished one and told me it would change my life. Neither of us wanted to teach yoga. We both had jobs teaching in our creative fields. He was a former broadway actor who taught singing, I was teaching art in a residency program at an elementary school.
He was right. I certified as a yoga instructor, never taught yoga, but ended up in Africa painting murals. My life was never the same after that.
