Monday

Well I have been busy these last two days with packing and more packing and then cleaning and then packing and then cleaning. But well, we are loaded up and ready to start the move-in process tomorrow. I managed to have a nice practice this morning which i really needed and also Mom and Dad came down from Georgetown for lunch so that was fun.

I did decide to sub out my classes tomorrow since I will be eye-high in boxes. Kim Schaefer is teaching for me at 4:30 and Lance will teach at 6:00. So please go to class to support the class and one another and if you want to see me this week then come to The Love Shack on Thursday from 4-6 for our group practice. Its back bends this week and the last time I am teaching locally for a while since I have a busy month coming up.

Here's my upcoming agenda:

• January 24 and 25- Immersion at YogaYoga in Austin
• January 26-February 11- India Tour
• February 13- 18-- Immersion at Yoga Oasis in Tucson with Darren
• February 20-22-- Immersion Weekend #2 in Corpus Christi (This is a weekend with Craig and I teaching together and its open to folks who are not signed up for the Immersion so come to Corpus for the fun if you can.)
• February 26- March 4 --Advanced Intensive with John Friend in Tucson and Personal R&R in Prescott
• March 6-8 --Weekend Workshop at Breath and Body in Austin

So, come March 10, I will be back teaching public classes. Until then, follow the blog or catch me somewhere else if you can! So much fun stuff to look forward to.

Speaking of fun stuff to look forward to- here is the info about the workshop that Noah and I are teaching together. Registration is officially open.
