Newly Graduated Yoga Teacher!

Hi there! I recently graduated from my 200hr program and feeling confused and stuck.
I have LOVED yoga for years. I love that it helps me get out of my head and really into my body, challenge myself with poses that make me feel incredibly strong, being able to work towards different poses that I never thought I could get into, it helps calm my nervous system and make me feel relaxed.
I’ve taught fitness classes as well, so I thought this was the perfect opportunity to put my two loves together, teaching and yoga. However, after going through the training, I’m feeling a bit defeated and lost(?)

It feels like my cohort all connected so well as a group and I’m an outsider of it. They’re all very vulnerable and discuss how beautiful this experience has been, I haven’t felt that at all.
I thought the subject matter was cool and I was very interested in it, but people were discussing borderline spiritual experiences and I feel like I’m missing something.
It makes me wonder if I just don’t….”get” yoga. Maybe I shouldn’t teach it?
Has anyone else felt this way? Would love to hear everyone’s thoughts!

It’s devastating when people you wouldn’t have expected to not show up cancel coming to your wedding weeks and days before.
Wedding is on Saturday. I’m stressed enough then getting message of people cancelling coming to our already intimate event feels heart breaking. I can’t stop crying. There’s so much more that goes into this feeling but just needed to rant a bit.
