Practice schedule for October

Hi Everyone,

No practice this Friday the 9th. Devon, Gillian, and I are all out of town.

Gillian will lead practice Friday the 16th. She will do the Cathy Rogers Evans sequence posted a couple weeks back.


Starting Friday the 25th, we are going to change the format of practice a good bit. Devon is going up for her Junior III assessment next year and I am going up for Junior I assessment the following year and Gillian will be at some point in the future as well. So with that in mind, we are going to start practicing sequences that work with the Junior I, II, and III syllabi. Each week, we will each teach a couple or three or four poses that are on our respective syllabi. You'll still get a great practice, but there will be more instruction than has generally been the case. We'll probably do significantly fewer poses and repeat them as that helps us practice observation, a crucial part of the Iyengar teaching practice. Also, we will be giving each other feedback about each other's teaching, so you'll learn a lot about teaching as well. Other local Iyengar teachers may drop in and teach from time to time as well.

In the next couple months, Devon will have to make a tape to send in to her mentors and then go up for assessment about a year from now. Some of the practices will be recorded. Anyway, come help us out. The better we get at teaching, the better you get as students. The better you get as students, the better we'll get at teaching.

Cost of the practice is still $10.00, that's the best yoga deal in town.
