The Horizon Story - Yoga in a Juvenile Detention Facility | URBAN YOGIS ...

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

I booked Michelle Helstrip to do us a day on the Dru Yoga system & she was such a lovely teacher, the practice itself probably isn’t for me but it was just one of those days that just made me so happy & glad I’m County Rep

Yesterday was a different matter, Jonathan Monks came to do a day, it was arranged by the 3^rd years who have just finished TT, today I just feel tired & emotionally imbalanced, we worked on a wonderful technique about connection & mine is light, no matter who I worked with it was just naturally there but really light, I don’t have the ability to just be/let go with a person no matter who, as I worked with Phillipa who I love dearly, my connection with her was the same & I appear to hang on even though its light, its really odd, I can’t just let go of the anxiety I carry all the time, I know its there but I just don’t know how to make it better, which leaves me today not in a good place being the over thinker I am, that & taking offence to Jonathan Monks, its odd how certain people don’t ease you, I found him really hectic/excitable as a teacher, he was late to arrive, said ‘fuck’ several times & although he was very knowledgeable, his way just wasn't for me

Peter Hersnack, now I’m not a fan of Vinyoga & these 2 days were really quite frustrating in that we really didn’t do much except listen to Peter talk a lot about space, maybe in 20 years I will appreciate a weekend like this

  

Themes in a class IST, 22/9/12 a really great 2 hour twisting practice & I bought this lovely little book after, the week after that day I felt really quite mobile in the hips, I’m still struggling with this right side sacro/hip joint 

I taught my first ever Yoga practice on the 23^rd, a short breathing practice & relaxation in TT, I really don’t cope so well with the anxiety & although when I listen back to this its actually quite good, when I was delivering it, it felt just awful,  I felt happy for days after that, I asked Col to record it for me for future reference
