A note about Friday Teacher Practice

Hi Everyone,  The  Friday 3:30  Teacher practice  is not  technically a teacher training.   It is my mistake for  calling it that on the blog in previous weeks.  It is a time where we get together to practice teaching skills and discuss issues that come up in classes.   Hence, it is a teaching skills practicum, not a teacher training.

It is a lot of fun!

New classes with Anne

Hi Everyone, Starting 10/17  I'll be teaching at Castle Hill  on Wednesday mornings at 9:30. I'm taking over for Mandy while she's busy with baby preparations.

Also, at the first of the year (Jan 4), I'll be teaching an All Levels  Iyengar Class at Clear Spring.  Friday mornings 10-11:30.  The pricing is set to match Devon's studio so class cards are transferrable between her classes and mine.


Also,  be sure to come to George  and  be sure to check out Devon's new blog. 

George Puvis in San Marcos Sept 28-30

Backbend sequence for Friday

Hi All, we are on this Friday at 4:30 and there's teacher training at 3:30 for an additional ten dollars if you are interested.  This  one is  from  Devon.   She  says "Here is a Jr III type sequence leading toward Dwi Pada Viparita Dandasana, based on a sequence from Light on Yoga.  A bit odd in the sequence order, but this is the way Mr. Iyengar did it back in the days he was writing the book.  Interesting to feel how the older method works."

I'll be resuming my  5:30  All  Levels  Iyengar Yoga class down in San Marcos starting  a week from Monday.

You can sign up  on line  at   http://www.schoolofyogasanmarcos.com/class-schedule.html


You might also enjoy  Jason Lobo's  classes down there on Thursdays.  He's studied a lot with George Purvis over the past three years and I'm sure you'll find a lot of Iyengar influence in his teaching.
