10am
Class went very well…nothing interesting to report during the class. After the class a student asked me about the temperature and why I didn’t open the door. I really hate having conversations about the heat. It’s just plain boring and usually people just want to complain about it. Nevertheless I started talking to the student and she could see that I was put off by it. So anyway I told her that there was no reason to open the door since it wasn’t that hot. She informed me it makes her feel good when the door is open (no shit). I’d love to write about some of the other stuff we talked about but its just not worth it.

I pushed it a bit to far trying to get into lotus and overstretched my tendon. The area around my knee is a bit bruised. I think I’m OK though I’ll just have to take care of it over the next few days. I had a huge breakthrough in full camel. I could see almost to my heels! It was fucking amazing. I’ve never been that far back before. Overall class was great…

Another good class. Had a couple of first timers so that was fun! One of them was like a piece of spaghetti so flexible. I worked in some good corrections and was able to get back to the posture without any trouble.

I know not everyone is going to like me as a teacher. I’m not there to be liked. I’m there to teach and that is my job. I don’t have all of the answers and I don’t pretend to but I do have 4 years of experience with this yoga and almost 10 years experience living a new way of life. And to that another 27 years of very colorful live experiences and there’s a bit of wisdom. Its funny how people will just ignore the possibility that people are more than their parts.
