Hi! 
I haven’t posted much recently. Mainly because I do not feel as if I have had anything of importance to share. I do know that as the year comes to an end I find myself a bit excited. I love “clean slates” I love the possibility to begin anew. Granted you can do this each day you open your eyes. I suppose I love this time of year because it is accompanied by family, sweets, treats, pretty things and a few days off with the husband and pup. Not bad at all!
But, I am ready for 2012. I have been through a lot personally this year; financially downfalls, loosing my job, changing the industry I work in and teaching more yoga than before. Just a lot of things that changed. Difficult, but necessary I believe.
Over the last few weeks I’ve been practicing and getting back into my routine. It is hard with my schedule is not consistent. I am finding time to fit it in when I can. I was fortunate to attend Kino’s workshop at Balance last weekend. It was a really wonderful 3 days of yoga. Kino is inspiring. The way she is in the mysore room is compassionate but authoratative. Meaning she doesn’t let you get away with not putting your all into the practice. For example I know that if you are working on drop backs you typically wait at the front of your mat for the teacher. Well she was so busy buzzing around I did my three dropbacks (still not coming up on my own) and then went on with closing. She walked over and said “no dropbacks?” and of course I stood up and did several others. She did get me almost to touch my heels. She is the only teacher who has ever encouraged me to crawl my fingers in THAT much! I had no clue my body could do that. Apparently she did. It was eye opening; meaning…what else am I possibly holding back on? Perhaps I do not play my edges enough. It was just food for thought.
During the 2nd series workshop I was super weak (after mysore) and since I do not practice 2nd series…it just made it very difficult. I opted to take photos and notes on things in preparation for what the future holds. Even though I have been able to get into Kapotasana in other classes. Getting into that posture in the correct method is SOO hard. No rush for me. I am content in Primary for the rest of my life 
Here are some photos from the workshop!
In other news I am happy to working with some fellow teachers to host 40 days to personal revolution
It starts in January. I know sometimes Baron gets a bad rap. However, I really did enjoy this book. I think it is a good practice to share with vinyasa students. So I am looking forward to this!
