I'VE MADE A LIST

And, I must check it twice, three times, four times. This list is of all the Anusara workshops / trainings happening in the next four months that look of value or interest to me. Note, I said 'to me'; since we all will have our preferences and needs as we motor along this path.

There are eight! Some 4-5 days in length, some just a weekend. None are in Salt Lake; two are within 5-hour driving distance.

This list includes some of the best: John Friend, Sundari, Betsey Downing and Amy Ippoliti (both of whom I have never studied with, but would like to experience), BJ Galvan, Siana & Desiree, Christina Sell.

How to decide?

John is doing a weekend worksop in Park City. I've been accepted to that event, so that's a done deal.

My recent inclination for John is to try to do the trainings that I can get to and that will benefit me (that means all of them, right?). For example, I have applied for Santa Fe since MANY of my students will benefit from the knowledge gained at an Advance Therapeutics Training. Then - if time allows - I try to tack on the weekend workshop. Though, after prodding, gripping, and maneuvering various friends for 5 days, and receiving likewise from those friends, I have to admit I wonder why -- until I start the workshop.

Sundari's doing a Teacher Training in Jackson. Good for me to try to get to that one, since each person I study with has so much different and good information to offer. This reminds me -- she's also doing a workshop in Polson, MT. Would LOVE to go there, experience Sundari and see old friends. Eight-plus hour drive, tho -- that's a bunch.

BJ Galvan's doing a workshop in Springdale, UT. What a great community led by Ann Rutz, and what fun BJ is to study with.

Siana and Desiree are offering a training in San Francisco -- darn, to study with those two in that setting would be mind expanding and offer great travel fun.

Christina and Amy are each doing weekend workshops in northern Idaho. Fortunately for me, my family lives in eastern Washington and it's just a 30-60 minute drive to either venue. And, my parents would enjoy having me visit. They might wonder, tho, why I keep disappearing to go do yoga (or, yogurt - as my Dad loves to call it; let's hope he's teasing).

Nestled among all of this is Betsey Downing doing a weekend workshop in San Diego (Yoga Del Mar). Never have done anything with Betsey. My son and his family live in San Diego. What better excuse to go for a visit. Plus, I have wanted to experience Betsey for a long time.

Well, it's settled -- I'll do them all. If it weren't a physical impossibility, I probably would. But, the reality is that I have to think, plan and work on the logistics of all these offerings.

As I think, there's teaching to be done. Subbing again this morning; the class I mentioned last week. If the same people attend, I'll be ready for 'em. If not, I'll still be ready.

Working on a replacement for the 'Favorite' -- that may just need to move down to join "Perfect Offering" as a keeper.

Enjoy the week.
