Observing: Part Two...

On Tuesday, I got to join Suzie at her community center class. I was really eager to watch Suzie teach. She is also an inspiration to me. As she used to dance, when she teaches Power Yoga classes, you feel like you are dancing! I can see her dance background in her classes. Her poses are SO well connected together you just feel like you are swaying through all these beautiful movements. I miss her classes but I can't afford two memberships right now.

Community center yoga is definitely a different scene than any studio or gym I have been too. The variety of students is great to watch as there are so many levels. I think it would be harder to teach as you have to gear your practice to be challenging to the experienced yogis and then make sure it’s not too advanced for the beginners that they feel left behind. Something Suzie did, which was great, was

Dreaming of Thailand....

Although Chris and I planned on watching Superbowl last night, we ended up booking our trip to Thailand instead.  We leave November 13th!! We are planning on going to Chiang Mai, Bangkok,

Observing: Part One...

Tonight was such an awesome experience!! As part of my training we get to observe a teachers class of our choice. We just get to sit and watch how they teach and watch how the class reacts to her words. Tonight I chose Trish, my favourite teacher at Kula!  

I learned a few things tonight that really resonated with me as a future teacher. It's OK to make jokes with your class. Have a conversation with them. You can still be centered and

Sprouts...

My Mom bought her and I sprout trays to grow our own sprouts right in our kitchen! Nutrition factor set aside, I am excited to grow stuff inside my house! And sprouts are just so darn cute.  Cute and delicious.  I think I am the only person who thinks sprouts are cute...but that's a different post I guess.

Cool Website...

I always notice when there is a new, latest and greatest Superfood that is hitting the market. It's all we hear about until the newest Superfood comes out.  But really, how good are these Superfoods?? Are they just marketers or "snake oil" salesmen getting together trying to make a buck??

As my other post on Chia seeds, I am sold on them, scientific facts or not. I personally like what they

What a Pain in the @$*#!...

Wrist...pain in the wrist...what did you think I meant :)

Wrist pain is something I have been asked to write about and am constantly being told by new and seasoned Yogi's that they experience on a regular basis. It's pretty hard to continue in yoga when your wrists hurt so much.  Also one of my readers, started yoga with her husband and I know he has Carpal Tunnel syndrome so it really prompted me to write this post before they continue on their yoga journey further.

I have been waiting to write about this until I was sure I knew the answer. I have felt like I knew the
