Teacher Training Tonight was my first yoga class back after taking the last three days off. I took my very first Yoga Sculpt class on Saturday morning with Sunny, which was awesome! Due to being super busy with work and my husband coming back into town after being gone for the past several weeks, I […]
Teacher Training Tonight’s group session for yoga teacher training was an entire three-hour Posture Clinic. We went through each of the postures in the Flowing Balancing Series starting with Standing Forehead to Knee Pose all the way through the Triangle Series, ending at Toppling Tree. We covered a total of 13 postures! A Posture Clinic […]
Teacher Training Now that we’ve sprung forward an hour, the days are starting to get lighter earlier and the evenings are staying lighter later. This means the 5:30 Hot Power Fusion classes at CorePower Yoga are no longer done by candlelight. I’ve gotten so used to it being dark outside for the 5:30 classes. There’s […]
Teacher Training Tonight there was just a small group of us. Only four people showed up. Where was everyone else? Were other people in the group feeling just as nervous as I was? I took a look at the schedule for this week before we got started tonight. There were no lectures scheduled for the […]
Teacher Training Here I am, Week 3, Day 8 of my Hot Power Fusion Yoga Teacher Training at CorePower Yoga, waiting to get started on another Posture Clinic. My classmates and teachers have been loving my “duvet” aka my WAYmat I’ve been bringing to class, which I normally use for Bikram Yoga classes. This is […]
Teacher Training As I drove to Seattle for our Yoga Teacher Training Group Session today, I felt like I was driving right into the middle of a violent windstorm. That’s because I was! As I got off the freeway, I noticed a bunch of tree branches being blown all over the roadway. I still had […]
Teacher Training I had so much fun at my first Yoga Sculpt class with Sunny over a week ago and was no longer afraid of taking the class, I decided to check out another one of her Yoga Sculpt classes tonight after work. This time, I brought my husband with me. We decided to get […]
Teacher Training If I had to choose one yoga posture I love and hate equally, it would be Camel, Ustrasana. Camel is the deepest backbend in both the Hot Power Fusion and Bikram Yoga sequence. I love how this posture stretches my entire neck and spine, especially my lower back. I hate how it can […]
Teacher Training Our Group Session tonight was focused on the seven major chakras. In yoga teacher training so far, we’ve learned all about the physical aspects of yoga by studying each of the postures in the Hot Power Fusion sequence. We’ve learned both the English and Sanskrit name, how to physically do each of the postures, […]
Teacher Training Sanskrit verse from Bhagavad Gita Sundays are my favorite day of the week for our yoga teacher training group sessions. I’m usually the most rested for our Sunday group session because I don’t have to work on the weekends. I get to dedicate most of my weekend to yoga and yoga teacher training. Saturdays […]
Teacher Training I was so excited when I found out Jordan was teaching the 10am Yin Yoga class this morning at Bikram Yoga Everett. I met Jordan in the first Bikram Yoga class I ever took at Bikram Yoga Everett back in December. She was the photographer for the class during the studio’s holiday party. […]
Teacher Training Ever have moments, hours or days where no matter what you do, you can’t seem to focus on what you’re suppose to be doing? I, for the life of me, could not focus on myself in my Hot Power Fusion class last night. Yoga requires you to shift the focus onto yourself and […]
Teacher Training Tonight was my best Hot Power Fusion class yet. First of all, I snagged a sweet spot in class. I walked into the studio and set up my mat in the front row, in the right hand corner. I didn’t even consider setting up in the back row. Class tonight wasn’t super crowded […]
