My New Everest

My old Everest conquered, it's time for a new Everest. Naturally, it should be an evolution of my old Everest right? Meet half Vrschikasana (scorpion pose) half something else...I have no idea what this pose is called!

I can't wait to get this one down....hopefully it doesn't take me 7 years like the last one!

Arm Balancing Workshops!

I'll be teaching two arm balancing workshops at Purple Monkey Yoga in Union City, in July!

July 7th: Beginners/Intermediate Arm Balances
Juky 28th: Intermediate/Advanced Arm Balances

Both Are Saturdays. Workshops will be about 2 - 3 hours long...I haven't decided yet! If you have always wanted to learn how to arm balance, but were too scared to do it, these are for you :)

Lost in Translation

Last night, I had a student who was brand new to yoga.  She was foreign, although I'm not sure where she was from (somewhere in Europe?).  After class, the receptionist asked her how it went:

Yogi: "Ughhh.  I feel really fat, ugly and out of shape."
Receptionist: "Ohhhh.  But did you at least enjoy yourself?"
Yogi: "Enjoy myself?!?!  NO, I did not enjoy myself.  But I did enjoy the teacher."

Sooooooo funny how we don't even realize how figures of speech may not make sense to other cultures.
