Photo Dump: Yoga School Edition!

22 Dec

Our super talented co-yogi Cheri is also a fledgling photographer and was sort of our official historian throughout teacher training.  Because she is super awesome she shared all these with us and I am going to post some highlights.  I feel awkward posting a bunch of pictures of myself but it’s my blog and I’ll _____ if I want to.  The blank in this instance being “post gratuitous Yoga pictures.”  Kind of a critical piece of my biography at this point.  Plus I think people I know are probably wondering what we did all that time…

Our very first night! Remember I said it felt like yesterday!? The tans remind me it was a whiiiile ago…

Snazzy Down Dog assists…

Guest Instructor Jamie analyzed our stances/posture/gait… so fascinating!

 

Snazzy plank pyramids! Spotting is our intrepid teacher and Guru, Padma… My only hope is that someday I will have deltoids like hers :-)

Sugar Canes (thanks Jenn!)

Y’all we even learned Tai Chi! So cool…

Partner Yoga day was so cool… (with guest apperance by Mr. Padma!)

Guest Instructor Indeira came all the way from her home in Costa Rica where she runs a Yoga retreat center (be jealous!!)

In November we went off to rural Virginia for a weekend retreat…

One morning we were sent separate ways on the “grounds” for individual walking meditations… it was so gorgeous and relaxing and a memorable moment of the experience.  I stood watching a mom and baby deer for like 20 minutes.  Oh gawd did I really just say that? No I really did, but I’d like to think it didn’t come across as that idyllic and sappy in real life?! :-)

See that sky!?

We made energy balls…

My poor husband started dating a Republican campaign staffer six years ago, and now has on his hands a nutbag wifey who makes energy balls, reads Deepak Chopra, and has public freak outs in the produce aisle about pesticides.  It’s kinda funny. 

This was the morning we started at 6:00 and watched the sun rise… Adore this shot!

And we graduated!

Our group shot again (Cheri’s came out far superior to the Droid’s)

    Way to go, Sarah!! That partner yoga stuff is crazy–especially the first downward dog one. I’ll keep you in mind as my favorite RYT ;)
