Yoga is for everybody

Was told today by a good friend that wavy hair makes me look younger than straight hair,
 hmmm, I like the waves for every day, but I love the straight and sleek for dress up 
I have been teaching for 15 years to every type of person you can imagine.  My Yoga teacher is turning 83 in a few days, I am a mom with kids.  My first class this morning was for child educators, giving them ideas on incorporating Yoga into their classrooms.  Then subbed a class at 24 Hour Fitness, love being someone's first Yoga class, 18 people, which in the Jewish world equals life.  Each Hebrew letter has a numerical value, and the Hebrew word for life equals 18.  There is birth and death, life is up to us in between, taking care of our mind and body, delving into our purpose in this world, feeling joy, and being of service.

Busy in the afternoon with PE, almost summer!

Then finished off with two more Yoga classes, one for the entertainment industry in a studio, and then back at 24 Hour Fitness for my weekly evening class, what an amazing group, I was having fun challenging them tonight, also 18 came.

Each class is so different, always a different energy and a different dynamic, I walk in as a blank slate, absorb the energy in the room, and create a space where each person figures out how to do everything their own way.

I have been going through this week with a pulled muscle in my back.  How did I do it you wonder?

1. I am not domestic
2. I cannot fly like a superhero

I am blessed to share household duties with my amazing husband, I load the washer, he puts the correct mixture of detergent and then I load the dryer and fold.  He does a million other things like deep clean our house and cook amazing dinners.  So we have a stackable washer on the bottom and a dryer on top, the dryer sheets were super high, and I got the notion that I could maybe jump high enough and reach them with my hand.  That did not happen, but I started feeling pain in my back, and of course I had to wear heels the whole day, I had a bar mitzvah, and was a speaker in a class, and had a photo shoot, that was Sunday.  Luckily I got a massage the next day, it is still not 100%, but I really need to stop attempting to fly and not delve into domestic life too much either :)

I am so happy to be home, going to bed early, busy day tomorrow, and another wonderful Jewish holiday coming up, Shavuot, more on that later.

Sweet Dreams,
CoachYulia
