Just wanted to put a pic of my honey on my blog...he is my love! Recently I've been in a yoga slump. Not been going to yoga as much as "i should" and wishing I could suck it up and do a home practice. The negative, self doubting voice in my head is telling me I don't know enough to have an effective home practice. What a load of bull*&!@# Then this alien-like, majorly intrusive knot is hanging out in my upper back that makes it hard to move my head! I'm being gentle with my body, and trying to listen to it.
One a positive note, I just taught my 3rd yoga class to about 5 of my co-workers. It has been a great experience, I can see why Kira said "start teaching right away." There is something about being able to hear and feel your voice fill a room, and see how people react and respond. My co-workers have said many positive things about our class, but I continue to let that voice in...the one which tells me things like "you say too much, you don't really know how to make a class flow." Where does this evil voice come from? I am learning some really cool lessons teaching. I know that like all things in life, it will get better with practice, and feel more authentic as I get more comfortable with it. This is one of the many things that is teaching me patience right now. And breathe....

And you two just look so great together! I've been trying to do my yoga everyday but I think I forgot a few from when you showed me. If you know of any (not to expensive) beginner vidieos let me know. I think Maafu would be more inclined to do this with me if we were in our house and not going to a class. But I think that is my goal someday is to go regularly to a class. I am enjoying just those simple streatches you showed me. releives stress pretty well.
