SHE DID IT AGAIN !

Forgot Friday -- just shaking my head.  But, in the interest of giving myself a break -- let's reflect on the last two weeks.

For 7 days, it was up at 4:30, out of the house by 7, attending a weeklong training and weekend workshop with John (4-6 hours of asana each day!). The next 5 days, we were in San Diego visiting son, daughter-in-law and 3 grandsons (all under age of 4). Think about it -- that was not a restful week; it was fun, but definitely not relaxing (except when I was holding Carson - the six-week-old, newest grandson).

We were up early (4 am) yesterday to fly back to SLC, check in with the housesitters and the work on the house, then hit the road for Idaho. Got here about 6 pm -- good drive, no traffic to speak of.

So, Friday kind of didn't happen, did it? At least not as it usually routinely happens.

Saturday morning is sunny, crisp and cool here.  Nice after a warm week in Park City, a warm week in San Diego. Love the change of seasons and the opportunity to dress in warmer clothes -- at least the start of this season.

Big news yesterday -- Certified Anusara® yoga instructor, Wayne Belles, will join our team of instructors at The Yoga Center.  I asked Wayne once about this, he declined due to schedule conflicts. My response:  "when you think it might be time, ask; I won't pester you".  Well, he asked and I accepted.  So excited to offer his teaching to our community and to make it more accessible to students who have been trying to connect with him.  Hoo-Ray!  (Tuesday mornings, 9:30 a.m., Level 1-2 Class, beginning 9/14).

In the weekend workshop, I participated in the Mixed Level, then observed the Int/Adv Level. I thought it interesting to watch John progress his teaching in the Mixed group. Saturday morning, he was somewhat relaxed, cracking jokes, etc. Sunday morning, there was a different feel -- he was a bit more demanding, more precise in his instructions and his determination to have these instructions carried out. Still nice, still cracking jokes, but adding another layer to the teaching.  Interesting and good to learn from. When I bombard students with all the details and the precise verbiage on the first class, I run the risk they may become frustrated and lose interest.  Just a thought.

Got to get on with 'real relaxing'.  Hope you have a nice Saturday.
