The class is very well attended by students ranging from age 13 all the way to looks like, maybe 70&#8217;s.  With nearly 50 students, I was surprised and then not so surprised.  He masterfully creates the sense of safety and trust based on actual expertise &#8211; of course, people are drawn to that. I was inspired that there&#8217;s so much need out there that this teacher was able to respond to &#8230; it&#8217;s gentle and yet quite challenging; it&#8217;s relaxing but better than caffeine awakening, it&#8217;s calming and yet &#8230; super energizing. It&#8217;s quite the Yin &#038; Yang and I loved it.  This teacher led us to replenish ourselves physically, mentally and energetically.  To me,  the session rather reminded me of a class I took in Tokyo last summer &#8211; it&#8217;s caring and gentle but &#8230; challenging in a non-competitive way. You may even work up a light sweat:)  <\/p>\n<p>Inspired, getting mini-presents ready tonight for the loyal students who practiced being &#8220;present&#8221; this year by simply showing up  &#8230; it&#8217;s a gift for sure to have students who give me the opportunity to blend what I&#8217;ve learned and try things out.  I am filled with gratitude for their true &#8220;flexibility&#8221; &#8211; here&#8217;s the next two days as we head into Christmas Eve &#8230;Quite saddened that I am no longer teaching the Sunday night restorative class I had the honor of holding space for the last nearly 3 years.  Having attended the 3 Invitational sessions with Judith this year &#8211; irony of ironies, I don&#8217;t get to share all that knowledge in that particular style I love &#8211; Yet Sunday evening is a tough time slot &#8230;for me with the training and impending travels and subbing frowned upon&#8230;as attached and wistful as I was &#8230;  sometimes one has to let go one thing to let something else enter &#8230; it looks to be a sign from the higher self.<\/p>\n<p>Besides, so happy for the lovely yogini who took over &#8211; it&#8217;s so sweet to have more yoga teachers who want to spread this kind of quiet yet powerful practice also.  We are blessed:)<\/p>\n<p>Thursday @ 7:40 am @ Bay Club, Redwood Shores &#8211; Yin Yoga<br \/>\nFriday @ 9:30 am @ Bay Club, subbing for lovely Ms. C &#8211; Hatha Yoga<\/p>\n<p>**************************<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Feeling so much better having attended a Therapeutic Yoga class during lunch today.
