The workshop in July -- July 17-19 -- with Christina Sell is planned. We have a title: "Mid-Summer Journey"; a schedule and subject for each session; I'm working on publicity; and now am working on plane reservations.
I've decided that Facebook could come in handy for publicity -- not that I know much about Facebook. I also now wish I had been more aggressive about collecting friends -- my 25 friends will have to help me spread the word a LOT in order to get attention for this event from Facebook. (I guess I could get busy and invite a bunch of people to be my friends. My worst nightmare: what if someone said no? I hate rejection!)
I'm also arranging for press releases and e-mails, placing ads, creating fliers, and talking it up whenever possible .
Workshops are fun to host, but there is a lot of pressure -- pressure to make plans, host the presenter (my main worry: what will she want to eat?), assure a decent attendance, and make it monetarily worth everyone's while, and then just to have fun. I've got the fun part down -- it's always fun doing yoga. With a teacher like Christina, I KNOW it will be fun.
Looking forward to the weekend and LOTS of teaching,
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.
