Last week's Savasana

November 30, 2010

I just can't understand how each class keeps getting better than the last.  Tricia, Alya and I had a full group of 12 tonight.  The age ranges are still pretty vast.  5-12 years old.  Most of them around 6 or 7.  Tricia led with wonderful pranayama then a really awesome flow of asana.  We did some photos of their favorite poses, then Tricia showed them some yoga mudra.  I closed with Savasana while Alya and Tricia placed Silly Bands on their bellies.  Fun night.  Their attention was pretty good too.  Both Alya and I kept them focused on Tricia if they lost concentration.  Enjoy the photos of their favorite poses!  

Thanksgiving

My Mom and I volunteered at St. Matthews Baptist Church in South Philly where the Traveler's Aid residents were spending their Thanksgiving.  It was so much fun.  We set up the dessert table, sliced tons of bread and rolls and served at least 200 people.  We also joined them in their prayer, singing, dancing and eating.  There were only a few kids from our yoga class, but they all came running over yelling "YOGA!"  It was so awesome.

I met Stacey and she was so sweet.  The church members were also so grateful for our help and asked if I'd teach a yoga class for some of the woman of the congregation.  I'm very excited to start this class with them.  A wonderful Thanksgiving.  I'm so grateful!
