Soft Vinaysa, Saturday 9am

15 Peeps
1 Drop In

It is super hot in Ojai right now.

I opened by sharing this great discussion that went down on Facebook from Doug Keller about the anatomy of the shoulder.

Doug made the most beautiful points about the continual learning process of a teacher:
"An honest student is 1000 times more valuable to you ... than a strong-willed and persuasive teacher; we parrot our teachers, but learn from our students"

We, as teachers will sometimes pass on instruction that we are not attentively working through our own bodies. And instead of learning from the beings in front of us, we treat them as props. I recommend reading the discussion and reading Doug's shoulder article.
