Teen Yoga Class

Here's a link to an article the local newspaper wrote on a class I teach sometimes. The article is a couple months old. The writer refers to bhujangasana as reverse corpse pose...but whatever, it's still awesome. Check it out!

Irons in the Fire

So, I got super sick last week. Like, I didn't go to work or yoga sick. Thanks Alcohol. We're officially breaking up. Good Riddance. Depressed, hung-over, unable to function...thanks, but no thanks. Anyway...I'm back in the saddle and riding strong.

Enough about that. Let's talk about the awesome stuff that happened during the week. First of all...I made some really sweet origami. (I love origami). I'll have to blog about it sometime and post pictures of some of my work. Hmmmm...I volunteered some of my time for this wicked cool community event called Seeds of Love for Errol. Errol is this super cute kid who was born into a body with some major challenges. Because of this situation his family is in oodles of debt. (the health care system is stupid) So the community as a whole puts on these big events to celebrate Errol and to raise money to pay these monstrous medical bills. That is true Yoga!!! Ayway, the event was really fun and they had a great turnout. There was a huge buffet and entertainment and a raffle and fun, fun, fun. I helped with the food.

Also...I got hired at the Rush! Fitness center as the new yoga instructor. So that's gonna be a new experience. I'm going to teach on thursdays and sundays and I get my membership for free. For Free!!! Other than that not a whole lot of new stuff to talk about. Big weekend coming up. New Planet has a table at SurThrival 2009 this friday. And then, at the studio we're hosting a kirtan band (The Mayapuris) and Swami Tripurari is coming to speak about ahimsa (non-violence) and all of the profits are going to bringing illumination to the dolphin slaughter off the coast of Denmark. So, I'm stoked! And that's just friday...there's all kinds of cool stuff happening this weekend. We'll explore it later, I gotta crash.

The Yoga of My High School Reunion

So...I went to my high school reunion this past weekend. I went to a super small high school and there were maybe like 70 people in our graduating class. So needless to say, I had a blast. When you're school is that small you kinda get to know every body pretty well and you form some really tight friendships. So it was awesome getting to see everybody. That being said...I drank like a fish. Open Bar + Big Celebration = Wasted Wasted Wasted. Whatever...it just kinda sucks because I'm not such a big fan of intentional intoxication. In fact, I think it's kinda dumb and I tend to wake up feeling excessively guilty...if I drink...which, by the way, is next to never. Oh well, better luck next time!

Yoga in the Buff

So, I'm kind of in love with this idea. Genius. In fact, the only thing that I can think of that would be more awesome...would be eating a big ass mango right after class with my bare hands. Right On.
