All about yoga

The teacher training is over but it still seems like yoga is all I'm writing about. I had my third lesson as a teacher today at work, and seems like I'm starting to have a "regular" group forming. Some people have come once and it hasn't been their thing (probably) but these guys want to come back so I guess I'm doing something right (though they are still complaining that 30 minutes is not enough). I guess I could go on for longer, but I'm having trouble coming up with poses that you can do 1) in normal clothes (i.e. jeans) 2) without sweating too much and 3) standing up or sitting on a chair... most yoga I do is ashtanga so I'm kind of in an unfamiliar territory here.

Today I finished off with a guided relaxation that I learned from Bernie last week. In it people visualize warm honey being poured on them one body part at a time, and they relax as they are covered in the warm, heavy, sticky liquid. This was a first time I've used a more guided meditation - and they really liked it. Overall, the atmosphere has lightened and people have started smiling a bit - it's great, it makes me feel much better too.
