An excellent teacher

-

 A student sent me this and it made my day so I want to share it:

 I think you did a great job with the class yesterday.  You were helpful with the new student and your comments on how seasoned yoga students can benefit from using a beginner's point of view was very poignant.

I remember early on when I first started doing yoga that you would say "don't compare yourself to anyone else in the room" and I needed that reminder at the time because, of course, that is exactly what one does.

That's what makes you such an excellent teacher. You are good at "reading the room."

.. Hello Hiyala......Your healing work was wonderful yesterday. The way you had the mat and blankets set out I felt like I was in an indigenous healing house. You knew exactly what I needed  to unwind from the stress of too much driving and a way too busy December.  I am always grateful to you....your skills and your kind and open heart.... the whole person you are. Have a beautiful day

  For new students!  or those who haven't been to yoga for awhile: Spring is a time of new possibilities.  If  you've been looking for a way to re-connect with your body in a meaningful way..... if you have a new commitment to creating better health for yourself, ... sign up for this yoga class.  For those who are more youthfull, athletic  or advanced, I will offer more challenging poses.  For those who are feeling stiff and less confident, (beginners), I will introduce you to some of the basic poses as well as the breathing that we do .  Please sign up by contacting me via email:  blaineyoga@gmail.com.  I will ask you to pay $10 in advance so that I know for sure that we will have enough people for a class.  I look forward to meeting you!
