When I was getting ready to leave china, I was asked the same question. And I again had the same answer, as the 10 days that I spent were action packed and absolutely perfect to part ways with China.
I had the opportunity to see almost every single one of my close friends in china, including Ian coming up from Hangzhou and chris coming up from Shenzhen. I was able to start teaching yoga, giving 4 private classes and 3 public classes in those short 10 days. I learned that I love the yoga teaching and am very optimistic about pursuing it in the states. I completed a sufficient amount of swimming and running training in prep for ironman Louisville. I partied and was reminded of what makes shanghai so great. I met new friends via yoga and received great advice from other teachers in shanghai. I successfully passed my apartment over to my roommate an her new roommate. I planned out my logistics for my first week back in the states. I made some last minute clothing and art purchases to capitalize on the little remaining Chinese value. All my loose ends were tied.
It couldn't have been a better ten days. It certainly was quite the juxtaposition of ashram and himalaya life, and I discovered that I can efficiently mashup the two. Of course I overindulged as far as my diet and partying habits were concerned, but that was to be expected given the socializing blitzkrieg that I undertook.
I'm most excited to find that my business soft skills that I enhanced throughout my MBA - networking and professional communication - will complement my yoga teaching very nicely. I firmly believe that i will have the capability of building a yoga practice anywhere in the world that I choose to live. It's an ultimate travelling entrepreneurial opportunity. I can't way to just take it day by day and see where life takes me.
Landing in LA in 5 hours! MIami in 14! Let's go!
