Sweet Vinyasa Yoga, Wednesday 8:30am

23 Peeps

4 or 5 Drop Ins.

Martha Ringer came to class with a flyer for a book signing for her book, "Complete, Done, Finished."  Martha is my coach for staying in the flow of things and maintaining a system of organizational management.  I love and need her.  And her being in class inspired some of the themes.  Practice relaxing.   In the project of following one's heart, what are the items on the "To do" list?  Similar sequence as Monday as we moved towards Upward Facing Wheel Pose but today solo instead of with partners.
