Shive Rea Yoga

I went to a class last night with a teacher who just got back from training with Shiva. It was an interesting class and I am glad I went. I was not wildly excited about it. There were a lot of flowly movement types of yoga and that was fun. It felt very goddess-y. The teacher was really good. Again, I wasn't wild over it.

I taught aBikram class after to 36 people and I thought it went well. There was about 8 new people and I was able to touch base with them even though it was a big class. It got very hot in there and it is very draining being in a hot yoga room for four hours. I was very drained when I went home and slept like a baby.

The yoga bolster came in the mail. I pretty much got it for John and his petrified spine and shoulder problem. I showed him how it loosened things up just by relaxing on it. I think he saw almost immediately how it opened his shoulders up. I need another one though. Will have to find one right away.

One of the flow teachers has disappeared abruptly from our studio and turns out the props I was using were hers but the studio owner said she would buy some blankets and more straps. I almost ran out on Tuesday. I just love teaching with them and the students use them if you show them how. Big surprise. Think I will encourage people to buy them and use them at home.

I bought the book Yoga for Wellness by Gary Kraftsow. Now if I only had time to read it! I am actually finishing my yoga sutra written assignment.

I have to work the front desk tonight and will do a Bikram class. I hope they find a replacement for me real soon at the front desk which stresses the heck out of me.
