Rain and yoga

And then there are no colours. Rain is here again, and I get envious looks when I wear my wellies. I know, I know, I'm the envy of all the 2-year olds.

I went to Jesse's level 2 yoga course at Sue's which started today, it's a complete course that's going to last for eight weeks. I took me a long time to get Jesse, but now that I know where he's coming from I think his classes are very useful for me especially as a teacher. His approach is completely different to all the other teachers I've had - he approaches yoga from physical point of view, from using the poses for purely their anatomical and therapeutic aspect. I think for most teachers (and students) poses are not as much tools as the the essence of practice, a ritual and a tradition, like a dance which has beauty in it's own right without having to have a meaning. As a teacher I find Jesse's therapy approach extremely useful, and although I don't necessarily agree with everything he says there is a lot of useful knowledge I've learned from him that I will pass on to my students.

I've been teaching at work for about five months now, and suddenly I notice that I don't have a problem calling myself a teacher anymore. Neat.
