February 1st-3rd I was fortunate enough to attend a weekend workshop with David Swenson. It was fantastic. I had only ever attended a mysore style class with him. He has the most wonderful way of making anything about Ashtanga yoga accessible. There were several asanas, or parts of asanas, or little issues that I was close to "getting", that I "got" over that weekend. I plan to do his 40 hour teacher training as soon as humanly possible.
February 9th and 10th I taught 5 yoga classes! A restorative, prenatal, ashtanga, hatha flow, and private lesson! I'll never do that again. It sounds wimpy, but teaching three classes in one day is just not comfortable for me. Maybe it comes with experience, but props to those of you who manage to teach so freaking often! I have three regular classes a week right now, and sub whenever I can squeeze it in. That is more than enough for me.
My practice is about three times a week right now, which feels perfect at the moment. Not too aggressive to aggravate my back, not too few and far between to regress. And it seems to be enough to keep my mind at an even keel.
Tonight, the hubby and some friends and I are going to a Yoga/Wine/Chocolate party at a Lululemon showroom. The event is free, so the hubby and I decided it is how we would celebrate Valentine's Day. I'm excited about it, and plan to buy a piece of clothing from the showroom, because I don't have any of theirs yet, but have heard good things....seems kinda pricey though. In the past I've found spending more money per item, and buying less items is the way to go...so we'll see.

Any notes you want to share from the workshop with David Swenson?
Much appreciated if you do :)
Most of the really fun/cool stuff we did was partner work. Working on floating forward, jumping through and back. Unfortunately hard to explain over comments :( I'll look through my notes, and see if I can extrapolate some translateable items for a new post soon.
