sometimes less is more...

I subbed my first yoga class in Calgary and it felt great to teach again. Whether or not it will lead to something remains to be seen, but it doesn't really matter because I still love it! And as usual, I am feeling anxious and impatient because things aren't happening fast enough. However, the first bundle of courses with Susi Hately starts in 2 weeks, which doesn't help me patience-wise but makes me feel OK about my account balance.

Finances aside, I use my time wisely and take as many yoga classes as I can. The trouble is finding the right class with the right teacher. Calgary like most cities is saturated with yoga and it's hard to tease out the commercialism and pretense with the kind of yoga that I'm looking for. Lately, I've been having trouble finding a class that's challenging so I either take an Ashtanga class or do a double header - ah... the joys of unlimited time and an unlimited yoga pass. With all the training I plan to do I'm starting to wonder how I'll be able to maintain and challenge myself in my own practice. I imagine once I'm more financially stable I can try new studios and but when I really think about it there are a ton of poses that I still have to master, such as

Hmmm... looks like I'm going to be busy for along time!
