Monday

WOW!!  What a day it was.  James picked Jodi and I up from the Sankara Hotel and brought us to the Shine Center..headquarters for AYP.  Immediately we were met by so many we knew from Facebook.  It felt like we were greeting old friends.  The construction of the space is one and it looks great.

Next, I taught a chair yoga class to almost 40 teachers.  It was well received with some great questions.  Chakra toning was amazing with all of us chanting.  It really raised the vibration.  You could feel it!!  I am so grateful for the AYP teachers willingness to learn something new and to be the one to share chair yoga with them.

The BEST part of my day was meeting Rufus and Faith, my mentee and our sign interpreter.  After my class the three of us went to lunch and got to know each other better.

After lunch James took me to Gracia Gardens to check in.  I was prepared for it to be more sparse than it is.  That said, I walked into the bathroom and couldn't figure out where the shower was.  (See picture on Facebook).  Thankfully I figured it out.

I unpacked and went to yoga.  Power yoga is not a practice I've done before and it's proving very challenging.  I'm going very slowly.  I feel confident with two weeks to practice I'll grow to love it.  Dinner and bed came after.  It's the hardest bed I've ever slept on but I had a very restful night.

Looking forward to Tuesday when we get to do a community outreach class.
