27th October we worked with Lesley Dike.. i love my Anatomy & she kept me totaly engaged from start to end... I also start Physio with her on Nov 15th on my hip, its still no better despite the wisdom of Peter Blackaby.. sadly

We spent a day with Durga Devi the Jivamukti advanced teacher from NY i loved how she took us straight off into a really long balasana followed by a face down tadasana... the way each teacher we meet has different ideas & notions just facinates me, & though they can't all be right, I have taken from each of them my own perspective on these yoga poses, I do believe you shouldn't teach a posture if you don't know why you are teaching it, going through the motions when a yoga teacher just seems so wrong to me, we took a Sequencing IST in Lincoln & I found it really quite frustrating working with other Yoga teachers who don't seem to know what they are doing, are they just out of their own comfort zone at these things, even the vinyasa teachers seemed to not have much of a clue & the practices were just awful... I am very aware that I am really no better but I am a first year student yoga teacher & i'm keeping that excuse!!! I do find myself quite astounded by a few Yoga teachers i meet

I have decided I will step down as County Rep next year, hopefully after the David Sye day, though I do have my 3 other days that will take me to June if no one else steps forward, & i'm not booking anymore, I want to do Foundation 2 with AK, I know I want to do it, its just the logistics of doing it, its nearly 2 hours there 6 hours study & 2 hours back once a month, 10 sessions
