YD Goes to Yoga School
Here we are, December already! My, have these past few months flown by, like bakasana on Red Bull! Or a “lit” Rudolph? This post is brought to you by the colors RED and GREEN, and by the pose of the Camel. Lately our trainee group has been getting down to the nuts and bolts of teaching yoga. [...]
Oh my, is it November? Where has the time gone? Back an hour! I know that much. Have you all been playing nice? Yoga Teacher Training has taken me through the winds of fall into what feels like the descent into a cold, dark December. Are you with me when I plead, ‘Dear Hatha gods, [...]
