Yup, I've been faithfully writing in this blog for 26 days! I know it's a habit, because I'm a bit rushed this morning, but still feel it necessary to insert a few words before I go on to the next activity of the morning.
I am excited and nervous about teaching my first classes today since the training. I've been going over and over themes, heart qualities, sequences. I teach two classes and they are SO different. My first is Gentle Yoga, at the studio (the name of the class should give you an idea of what's involved). The second is at the Jail this afternoon.
Two very different audiences -- could I use the same theme, could I use something like 'celebration'? What, you ask, would Jail prisoners have to 'celebrate'? Let's see, being alive, perhaps having a family or loved one to support them in this difficult time, being able to do yoga!
Not sure that celebration will be my theme, but even the person who is a bit down, or in a difficult life situation, can find something to celebrate in their life -- it's our opportunity to help them realize it.
Enjoy Wednesday,
About Me
- Leslie Salmon
- Fallbrook, California
- I have been teaching yoga since 2003 (and began my yoga practice in 1998 at the age of 48). I have maintained E-RYT 500 status with Yoga Alliance since 2007, and in 2013 received my Certification through the Anusara School of Hatha Yoga. In classes, I love to to hear people remark - "I didn't know I could do that!" or "Why do I work so hard, yet feel so good?". When not teaching or practicing yoga, time spent with husband, Grand-Dudes and family, and friends is time well spent. Learning, whether it be from a philosophy scholar, an asana teacher or from my students, is a life-long process -- all have lessons to offer me. I am listening - with space in my heart and mind - to all the voices around me. Thank you for reading.
