yoga teaching

I taught my first yoga class this past week. I am blessed to have a wonderful supportive teacher who has allowed me to use her space while I go through my teacher training. I need to teach 8 free classes to finish my certification. This past Thursday evening 11 of my friends from different walks of my life came together for the first class. It was a great feeling to watch them all practice yoga. I received great feedback and good ideas to improve my teaching. I am looking forward to teaching a permanent class.

I spent a weekend in Boston in January learning how to teach yoga. The program is called yogafit and it is a vinayasa stylle yoga.  It was a great weekend session.  I learned from the instructor Mary Comfort as well as from the students in the class.  Many were fitness instructors already and were adding yoga to their repertoire.   Check out their web site www.yogafit.com

I am backkkkkk

A reminder from DJB, I haven't blogged in quite some time. Let's see...... a busy month, February 2008. The month started with the Giants beating the Pat's. Personally I am not a big football fan, but was happy to see the Giants win. I attended the same Super Bowl party with same great group of friends again this year. I was one of I think 3 people rooting for the NYG. I am a true Boston Red Sox fan, but my loyalty stops there with Boston sports!! A couple of friends had new babies in 07, it was great to meet the new little boys.

The month continued with a week long trip to Las Vegas. The semi-annual trip to MAGIC, Project Show and MRket. Went out couple of days early, rented a car and saw the Red Rock Canyon, about 17 miles southwest of the city. A beautiful canyon, wish we'd had enough room in our luggage to pack hiking shoes!!!! We then went to a few open houses in a new condo complex just outside of the canyon. The trip was a success, new and old connections. I am amazed every time I travel out there how much construction is happening. Every resort is enormous. We stayed at the Mirage this time, more convenient to where we need to shop and 2 of the trade shows.

The service is incredible in the city. Everywhere you go, people who work there are always friendly and willing to help. They really welcome a person. The bellcap at the Mirage, Folk (real first name is Robert) always acknowledged us and gave me a nickname..... Hollywood. Based on my glasses. I might add his were similar, only his were all silver. Just an example of their hospitality.

Heading out to my a theater production my Dad is in...:The night of January 16th". Still going strong in his late 70's.

I start my free yoga class teaching on Thursday 2/21. I am excited and nervous. Have put together my first "lesson plan".

That's it for now. OK, DJB????? Love BAB
