 Wednesday 18/12

Not going to comment on class right now...

Outside of that I did get a US number today for my cell phone. I talked with Lane and he hit a 90 in golf today which is great and he is loosing weight on his diets steadily which is awesome. He is training with my holistic coach Cady Norman which is so wonderful. I am super excited for him. My mother started training with her today too.

I gave a class to my roommate Ellen today in the morning before left for my course. She really liked it which was good. I am getting better which is are some! I even did my opening pranayama based on what we were outlined to say but I brought my own experience into it too. I feel it is important for my students to identify with me rather then a script I am told to say. I appreciate the foundation being built in my classes but no one way is right just like no one pose is yoga. I really like my opening pranayama so I will write it with a few variations for different situations. Next I will work on my closing meditation.

I have finished the book with all the poses we have done so far  the Gentle Therapeutics Yoga. I think I am going to identify best with this section for now as I seem to need more gentle in my life. I love the physical aspects of power yoga and I love to practise it.  I need to connect to that. 

Had a great talk with both my love (Lane)  and my room mate (Ellen) which I think was hugely beneficial. 

I will briefly touch on one aspect of our class today which had to do with the chakra's and understanding what the root chakra (muladhara) means when saying its theme is fear or survival. It seems odd to think of fear in a way that is helpful to you but it is all based of perspective. 

We are dealing with heavy spirituality subjects in class as well and the outlooks on things reminded me of this seen from this firm I studied back in University years ago while majoring in photography. The journey of this character in this film and the outlooks were quite pivotal.
