Many of you who know me know that I have been practicing yoga for over a year now. While I had intended to learn about yoga for quite some time, it wasn’t until I found my self in pain that I became a serious student. I have also been thinking alot about retirement (not for at least 5 years) and what I will do during retirement. Yoga seemed like a perfect fit with my medical training. I feel that in retirement I would like to do something that still helps others.
I am now searching out yoga instructor courses for 2009. This month, my teacher Cindy (see her link Middle Way Yoga) asked me to teach a class for her so she and her son could take a short (well deserved trip). While a stretch for such a new practitioner, but previous teaching experience was helpful. I had seven yogis. We focused on breath, balance and heart openers. I used Lovingkindness as our meditative focus for the class. I hope this is the beginning of a new direction for my life.
