#BEFIT STUDIO SERIES#

I forgot a few poses and messed up the sequence a little, but the world kept turning and I didn’t do too badly. I might be the only one doing primary in mysore – just do it.

#BEFIT STUDIO SERIES#

Do I know the poses and the series well enough. If I want to do more classes, it didn’t seem like I was making progress with 3 times a week, my only option is Mysore – oh no. Who would have thought it, me doing yoga. Who cares what other people are doing, look what I’m doing. All over again, new poses, new people, but a new confidence. Did yoga do that – I’m sure it contributed, a lot! Now that I quit that job and worked closer to home, I could get to more classes. Oh, and by the way, I leapt into buying a business and changing my WHOLE outlook on money and well being. I could see muscles cut in my legs again and my pants started getting bigger, somehow. Once I knew that I was not competing with anyone, not even yesterday’s practice, I started to relax and enjoy the fact that I felt better – even though I was sore, I could see a change in my body. Then…”worse” became “behind” and “behind” became “almost” and then it was FUN. I never in my life was “worse” than 90% of the people in the room.

What else could there be? Mat envy – even in beginner class! Seeing others doing 2nd while I was doing 1st half of primary. And then you add breathe though your nose! OMG, I’m a mouth breather after all. I had no idea, except for the pictures in David Swenson’s book, which of course were pretty intimidating, given my knees and inflexible body. I wasn’t able to do the things I had done all my life – basketball, softball, and my hours at work kept me from golf in the evenings. Apprehensive was an understatement, but it was time to do something – why not yoga. I remember my first beginner class, Deborah had been coming for a few months and it was time for me to give it a try.

Not just the physical aspect, but also the philosophical. Wina Before I came to my first class, I was skeptical about yoga in general. Thank you for sharing your gifts with the rest of us. You provide much support and help to the whole class in a very caring manner. The words that come out of your mouth help me ‘get it’ relative to others. The environment that you’ve created in your studio is perfect – calming and peaceful. I want to take this opportunity to tell you what a wonderful teacher you are. Thank you for helping to bring these changes about in me! I use yoga breathing to calm myself and clear my mind before I make big decisions.Īfter Yoga Stop, reflect, relax, enjoy the moment…breathe Concentrate on setting my focus on my own goals and personal happiness.īefore Yoga Allowed myself to get upset and emotional over things that really were out of my control.Īfter Yoga Spend less energy worrying and face each challenge as it comes. All my best, Sriīefore Yoga Hated my body and dwelled upon the things it couldn’t do.Īfter Yoga Love my body and marvel at the things it can do and is capable of doing with patience and practice.īefore Yoga Compared myself to others (better jobs, bigger houses, better behaved kids, more helpful husbands, etc.)Īfter Yoga Developed drishti for not only my poses but my life. Anyway, just a note of gratitude to let you know that your work is touching people’s lives, as it did mine. I’ve since carried those principles into deeper meditation practice and I’m hoping to get back into yoga soon. I had never practiced Ashtanga or Pranayama before, and the fundamentals of what I learned with you have stayed with me ever since. I was going through a transitionary period in my life, trying to figure out where to go next, and your classes every week provided me with a great deal of insight and grounding. I just wanted to send you a simple note to say thanks for your instruction during that time. Very Sincerely, Brian L.ĭear Bobbi, You probably don’t remember me, but I attended your classes for a few months way back in 2002/2003 while I was living at home with my parents in Mechanicsburg. Even though there were forty other people in the class i always felt like i was being well taken care of in improving my practice. I guess that should be a testament to your instruction. Thank you! LHĭear Bobbi Since i have left PA i have not yet found a class or a studio that i could focus in as well as i focused in your classes, i really felt like i was making progress at Be Fit and since then i have made small gains but cant seem to really give myself over to yoga since being in your studio. I especially appreciate your gentle guidance and hands on assistance which really maximizes the experience and makes for a very loving and supportive environment. I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy the class and what a wonderful teacher you are.
