Slice of Life #3

I teach yoga to a group of mostly teachers and people who work within the school system 2 times a week. It is always amazing to me that there are days when I am driving across town thinking that I would rather be going home because the school day has been rough or I am just tired. But when I get there, they are all so excited to be there and it makes me happy and feeling blessed to be in their prescence. I make them stretchy bendy and kick their butts! They often call me “Jillian” referring to Jillian Michaels of Biggest Loser fame. During class there is always time for laughter. There is a style of yoga that is called Laughter Yoga and one of my students had given me an article about it a couple weeks ago. In class, you force yourself to laugh which is supposed to make you feel better and release tension.  The same woman last night said we should try it so to be funny some of us started to forceably laugh….I cracked myself up and a few others as well. It was a good release and then we got back to poses!

Class always begins with the same few stretches and always ends with savasana and also ends with everyone feeling better than when we began!
