Best job ever!

Dear Everyone

Hello, how is everyone doing on their grand adventures in the world of yoga teaching? I have heard from some of you that you have already started teaching at studios or centres, congratulations! I would love to know what it is like, what changes and experiences you have to share. Most importantly, what tips do you have?
I recently started teaching private weekly classes to a very pregnant friend. I wish I paid more attention in the pre-natal section of the training. haha. She has never done yoga before so she is very open and enthusiastic. Last week she said that, for the first time, she realized how good and how necessary it is to "stop"..everything. She is a self confessed mover and thinker and doer and she is really finding pleasure in stopping. This is a nice feeling and a nice service to provide to someone.
My own practice is still going very slowly but I am managing to cycle, run and walk in the sunshine constantly so I am at least connecting to nature that way. At the end of this month we move back into our old apartment that we were in before we left BC (a totally random fluke). The apartment is directly across from the ocean so I will commandeer part of the living room as my yoga area and look out over the ocean when doing my daily sun salutations! I welcome everyone to come on out and join me!
Love from BC.

Good old BBC

Karma is discussed by the BBC, is it the age of enlightenment already!? Here is an interesting article, followed by some even more interesting comments, about karma. This story stemmed from Sharon Stone being a bit confused.

Freedom to heal...

Hi,

I wanted to draw your attention to this important petition that I recently signed:

"Save our freedom to heal..."

I really think this is an important cause, and I'd like to encourage you to add your signature, too. It's free and takes less than a minute of your time.

Thanks,
Alex

I am on a roll!

More!

Here are a few more photos. Watch Sammy on the first two, hilarious!

Round One!

As Promised, here are the first of many photos from my last weekend at Rama. These are the most important so I am posting them first. I love the lion's breath one, you guys are hilarious! I especially like Jun's random lion's breath in the middle of the "normal" shot. hahaha.

Photos

Okay, I finally got my computer from our moving cube. It is all set up and now I just have to find a few hours to edit the photos from my last day of class. I have looked at them, for a week I carried around my flash card and a little card reader so I could peek at them on anyones computer who would let me. The down-dog-train is hilarious!
I will try to have some posted tonight for sure!

Obsticals

So, I am back in BC and loving it but I am doing NO yoga! I have seriously only practiced once in the two weeks I have been back here. My plan is to try out each yoga studio in town and then decide on one that I love and stick with it. I have to say that not having a group of yogis here, like in Ottawa, is making getting on the mat more difficult. Oh and there is only one Bikram studio and it is super expensive...and a little bit stinky.
Does anyone have any suggestions or laments that they are finding?
