Lie Down!

So nearing the end of session 2, class 1 of 6: I said to a student "OK that's it! Your done!" (as in this is the last Asana in the sequence you are learning)... looking over to the girl next to her who was in Savasana she responded... "What I don't get to lie down?" --- "Of course you do! Lie down!"

Animal photography


Interest in my animal photography is becoming exciting! Here is a picture from one of the sessions... Kimba is the sweetest cat: Look out for the follow-up pictures!

6 week beginner courses

I have finished teaching the first series of beginner workshops: Essentially the emphasis is to establish a personal/home practice. Yesterday I started the next series of 6... so far response seems really good - there is space for a maximum of 5 students and we have consistently required students to be on a waiting list!

For me the most wonderful thing is to be able to share this knowledge with others, to see the positive effects; especially with students who have never experienced Yoga before: This is very powerful stuff.

David Keil workshop

Just last week attended "Intro to Ashtanga" and "Art of Observation" weekend workshop. David has a really great knowledge/experience of both Ashtanga and anatomy: I highly recommend!

John Scott Workshop in Vancouver

This looks really nice, opportunity to visit Vancouver and it is really quite reasonable (though almost the same cost to visit India)

The question is, do I have enough vacation to make my trip to the UK this year and Vancouver? I guess I could just visit England for a long weekend....
Oh and the other question is should I take this or a course (the courses overlap dates) locally on Sanskrit?
