Yoga Update

Monday was the beginning of a new Yoga class where I work.

The room was packed with new students. The class was fun – everyone actually laughed at my jokes and the class went really well considering it was SRO (and some people actually WERE standing in the back just watching).

I am not sure how many students this is going to garner us but it’s a wonderful way to begin the New Year.

Today, I had a conversation with the man who is the head of recreation at the community college where I am also going to be teaching come February. He had suffered a near-fatal heart attack and is now doing well. He sounded wonderful when we talked and I was genuinely glad to talk with him as well. He also sent me a contact to begin a Yoga program for a local gym/rec center. My dream (down the road) is to eventually make Yoga a full-time job. I need to be able to make at least what I make now (which is probably not going to happen), to have medical insurance and to be able to contribute to a retirement fund. These are DREAMS, the likelihood of actually materializing is dubious.

Yet I am happy and joyful to have the Yoga in my life again – even if it is looking like it’s going to be very hectic for me at times.
