Class #86-99 with several Amsa Instructors

Hello! So it has been a long time and a lot has happened (though not near as much yoga as I'd hoped). The biggest event in my life right now is my wife and I's pregnancy. We are 20 weeks in (halfway) and every day gets more exciting. I don't know if 365 classes are going to happen this year, but I will be going to a lot in between baby shopping, doctor visits, and getting our home ready for a little one. So I thought I would check in and briefly talk about three of my recent favorite yoga experiences.

3)Led Zeppelin Rock Asana

So the Rock Asanas by Amsa are always awesome and this one was no different. The music was cool, but I really love anything that brings a bunch of people together in a positive way. Amanda also was able to attend so that made it doubly special. Kimberly also did a very wonderful job of syncing up asanas with the music. Feeling connected with each other and the music was a truly special feeling.

2)Small class with Sara

So big classes have their own energy, but a small class can be cool too. One of the challenges for any teacher is finding a way to balance how they present instruction to students of varying skill levels and experience. In this class Sara took advantage of the size to really push me and her words and adjustments added up to a challenge that was a little more than I thought I could do, but it turns out I had it in me. Thanks for setting the bar high and believing in me.

1)Dynamic Flow with Kimberly

This class actually was just yesterday. It was another rare time when Amanda and I were both able to go together. I have always been inspired by my wife, but her grace and patience during this pregnancy have made me even more appreciative of how special she is. Amanda had a little yoga miracle and managed her first sustained Head Stand during this class and I had a front row seat. I was so proud and happy for her. Thank you Kimberly for coming up with adjustments and alternate poses for Amanda so she can continue her practice during this time in our life.

So that's what it has been like lately. Less classes than I had planned, but I am feeling a bit more yogic than I have in a while. I will try to expand on that next time and will talk about the 100th class once it happens. Till then...
