WILD WEEKEND

In many ways, this was one wild weekend.  

First, the workshop with Sundari and Peter was great -- so nice to be with friends, practicing and learning.  This kula (the 'bad ass' Jackson Hole group) is a great one.  So gracious, so welcoming, so much fun to be with.  And, the teachings we received from Sundari and Peter were unforgettable -- just ask me about "DD=T" (my one and only note from the weekend).

I returned yesterday morning (up at 2:30 am PST to drive to Idaho Falls, climb on an early flight, spend a few hours in SLC, then a full flight to Orange County.  Arrived on time (maybe a little early), in the car and homeward bound.  My goal was to arrive in time to teach the 3pm Library Class -- no problem; I had time to visit my house, check on pets, and change clothes, before driving in to teach.  

Get this:  25 in the room!  Among those, six new students -- some just came to observe, but the kula (the class participants) soon had them on mats, doing the practice.  We worked with the feet -- I'm going to work from the ground up for a few weeks.  Been doing a lot of reading and study in anticipation of a hip-opening workshop I'm conducting in late Feb.  Do you know how our feet affect everything else?  I am continually amazed as I read and learn.  

Then, reviewing Facebook, troubling comments about JF, and another resignation.  I've kind of figured out what happened -- an article alleging questionable religious beliefs, home-wrecker behavior, and fraud.   Here are my immediate thoughts (until proven otherwise):  

• Questionable religious beliefs - Or, more specifically, Wiccan practices.  In almost every workshop or training I have attended with John, this belief and practice has been mentioned by him as he reviews his background.  I don't know much about it; didn't care to -- that's not what I was there for.  Yoga, in particular Anusara Yoga, was why I attended.  (Let me emphasize this -- many of the people commenting attended these same workshops; I hope they don't plead ignorance.)
• Home-wrecker behavior - not much to say about this, except that it is a two-way street.  
• Fraud - this relates to business practices with regards to employees of Anusara.  I have heard the implications, seen a letter stating all is good and legal. I'll hold any opinion until I hear or see more.  

Enough.  

Off to the vet this a.m. with little Driggs, who is trying to chew her leg off (an exaggeration, but . . .).  Maybe he can get her to stop.

Then, teaching in Temecula -- 2pm, Gentle/Therapeutic; 4:30pm, Prenatal.  

Looking forward to a great day and week,
