Mishiah Yoga

In 2018 I was accepted to and attended an immersive 200-hour training in Bali, Indonesia, led by Meghan Currie. On the first day, she asked us to start to think about what sort of yoga teacher we would like to be. With zero hesitation, I wrote down "healing."
On the seventh day of my training, one of my classmates took an early morning walk on the beach and returned to the group carrying two puppies. One of the puppies was about six weeks old - healthy, active, and he even howled with us as we chanted "om" to begin our 7 am practice. The other puppy was not so healthy. She may halve been two weeks old at the time and was lethargic, dehydrated, missing a few patches of hair, and generally looked like a black potato.
