shameless self-promotion ...and a free yoga class :)

032510. As many of you know, I've been taking Teacher Training at Golden Bridge Yoga since October, 2009. One weekend a month for 9 months. It's like being in the National Guard ... except not at all as there are no tanks involved. And it's my Master Sergeant Sister who ends up having to serve our country overseas ... not me. (She's in the Army, and heading to Iraq for her second tour in less than a month, by the way. So please pray for her and the family she's leaving in Alaska).

These past few months have not only been a gift, they have also been an incredible and transformative experience -- physically, mentally and spiritually. And during the next 6 weeks I will be faced with taking a written exam (something I haven't done since taking the LSAT 6 years ago -- which I never used to apply to law school. I guess I didn't really want to be a lawyer), teaching a practicum (more on that in the next paragraph), and turning in oodles of homework that's been building up since October. It's actually hard to believe that the classes are nearing completion.

(I wish I knew how to make text wrap around photos ... sigh)

As I mentioned, I'm getting closer and closer to having to take my practicum (aka, teach a class for my teachers - who happen to be four of the preeminent teachers of Kundalini Yoga IN THE WORLD!), which is a tad daunting.

So, I'm renting a space in Hollywood for 2 hours on Saturday, March 27th to "practice my practicum" and am hoping anyone in reading (or at least driving) distance can make it. I'll be teaching an Introduction to Kundalini* Yoga class. Here are the details:

Introduction to Kundalini Yoga
Saturday, March 27
10-11:30 am - yoga
11:30 - noon - tea (if you want it/have the time to stay and chat)

Heaven on Earth Holistic Living Center
7122 Beverly Blvd

One block West of LaBrea, upstairs behind Starbucks.
Entrance is on Detroit.

There is parking behind the building, but there is also ample street parking if the lot fills up.

*a little about Kundalini Yoga -- Kundalini Yoga is for everyone who has to cope with the daily challenges and stresses of holding jobs, raising families and managing businesses. The practice of Kundalini Yoga combines breath, mudra, eye-focus, mantra, body locks, and postures in a precise, conscious manner to affect body, mind and soul. Using this ancient technology can help alleviate the stress … defeat the depression … and ease the anxiety that comes with living in this hi-tech, high-stress, high-anxiety age. You don't need to be in perfect shape. You don't need to be a daily practitioner. In fact, it's even okay if you've never done yoga before.

To quote Yogi Bhajan: "The Power of Kundalini Yoga lies in the actual experience. It goes right into your heart and extends your consciousness so you may have a wider horizon of grace and knowing the truth."

Bring friends! It's a big space and it would be great to fill it!

(see what I mean? Big space. Lots of room. For lots of people!)
