Lovely Nancy C. will be subbing Sunday …This yogini to me is a goddess of a being and I am so happy she’s covering for me because
\nthen I know, students are so well taken cared for. I don’t even need to come back, lol. Thank you Nancy.<\/p>\n

Sooooo excited as I will be in the Yoga Therapy 500\/800 hrs. immersion weekend with Baxter Bell MD …again, have read articles written by him but to get to directly study under him? I am all smiles. The focus? Muscles … the theme for the entire weekend is … MUSCLES. Yes, we learned about them in 200 hrs. basic teacher
\ntraining way back when but … never cared much for memorizing those sometimes unpronounceable names. Maybe I was brought up to think that’s more the male domain and not feminine (my mother was quite old fashion aka typical Japanese mom from that era – opting more for just walking, singing and clipping flowers for Ikebana – flower arrangement…having muscles would be so … unlady-like in her opinion- way back when thinking of yesteryears ) but ladies need the muscles – maybe not trying to be a “buffed” hulk (ugh…again – not my idea of aesthetics yet admire the effort … ) but just to feel strong and be strong.<\/p>\n

I never really cared much for anatomy either (that’s the irony & why I love Judith’s teachings that’s so vast she can zoom in and zoom out :), never wanted to study it when in school, opting more for the non-science … but now … I find anatomy fascinating.
\nOur body is so mysterious and interesting to learn about.
\nI guess you never think or notice your body until something goes wrong with it. Then you really notice what you had taken for granted.
\nAll our experiences are possible because we have this precious … body. AND Mind – they go hand in hand, closely connected of course. It does not need to be “whipped into” shape; but cared for like a parent caring for her\/his child –
\nKindness = Strength for these tissues made up from trillions of cells that constantly cycles through rebirth.
\nMuscles – sitting at a desk all day, they do get stiff and weaken, don’t they? Yoga to counter that deterioration As I make time for 10,000 steps … and evening yin yoga stretches. High maintenance? Isn’t it worth it? Aren’t you worth it?<\/p>\n

\"IMG_9979_small\"<\/a>The Original Flagship Lululemon Store … rather funky a bit caught in the 60’s kind San Francisco-ish – I was not there but – feel of a throwback place but told they will be moving to a larger place – going to be larger and modern… a little sad.
\n\"IMG_9982_small\"<\/a>\"IMG_0078_small\"<\/a>This is a restorative class … Canadian take on a restorative class seems a bit different. A bit of a therapeutic session taught by a Sports Medicine guy. Restorative is restorative in many ways. Here it’s sports medicine-ish by a young father chatting about his wife, his son, what he ate, on and on, etc. so so different. Maybe guys have a different take on this practice – I don’t know – BUT it’s all good. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
