Here It Comes…

It’s official: I’m on this Saturday’s schedule for teaching the vinyasa class at Yoga Shala. Originally was supposed to start August 1, but that got put off for unexplained reasons. So, now I have my work cut out for me, I guess. I shouldn’t think it would be too difficult, to design a class that is rigorous enough to challenge the students (need I mention that I know most of them?), and one that I can vary week by week. Seems like my yoga teaching experience is all about pushing my boundaries farther; I’m pretty often finding myself undertaking something new, even if it’s only something as minor as subbing for another instructor. I’m planning on doing some “homework” this week, exploring some advanced sequences of asanas. Some of my students from my regular class seemed interested in attending, which would be nice.

I wish I could go. I’ll be at a Charly Pivert workshop, and leaving early to sub yoga at HCV at 11. Good luck. You’ll be great. If in doubt, we all love Ashtanga.
I highly recommend this book: http://www.amazon.com/Vinyasa-Krama-Five-Unique-Sequences/dp/B001H9RP7O/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1282613631&sr=8-1&tag=wp-amazon-associate-20

That looks like a really good book. I will have to put it on the wish list. And you’re right, we do “all” love Ashtanga.

I have it if you ever want to look at it. I won’t be able to come to your class until the 25th though. Busy, busy Becky…unless I show up at Rogers Ranch, but I feel like that would be stealing if I’m not preparing to sub it…
Whenever I try to come up with an original sequence, I always keep Ashtanga Primary Series in my back pocket, I can always go to that if I blank out…
