If you checked out my Tayoga calendar you may have figured out that yoga is not my full time job. Besides being a Yoga Instructor I am also a Registered Dietitian (RD). The two go hand in hand quite nicely. I have been an RD since October 2011. Currently, I work at a skilled nursing facility which I enjoy. I wouldn't say I am passionate about my full time job like I am about yoga but I do enjoy it. I enjoy the people I work with and I enjoy meeting new people on a daily basis. One day I want to create a job that combines my dietetics degree with my passion for yoga...and maybe my passion for beer as well (in moderation of course!). What would your dream job be?

So I realized this morning that I have a problem. A yoga problem (if there is such a thing). Apparently, I have been teaching and going to classes so much that this morning instead of driving to work I started driving to my yoga studio! Whoops! I love yoga so much I started a class at work for the employees. Yoga makes me feel so good and I want to share it with others. Today will be the second Chair Tayoga class for all available employees from 10:30-10:45am. I realize it is only a 15 minute class but any yoga is better than none at all. Plus, I provide a brief shoulder massage with essential oils for those who have time. Everyone loved the class so much I decided to bring it back this week!  I am blessed to have found a passion in life and I hope you find one as well. Have a splendid week!

Friends are the family that you get to choose. It is so true. My friends have supported me throughout my yoga training and teaching. They understand it is my passion and is important to me. Several of them showed up for my first classes which made me feel supported (and nervous). Last night I subbed for a fellow teacher's 7pm class. Andrew and I had hung out with friends all weekend so I told them I had a couple extra classes I was teaching this week. There were 8 people total in the class and my close friends made up half of them. I felt the love. Two of those people can count on one hand how many times they have done yoga. This morning when I got to work I had a text from one of them telling me, "Nice job with class. Your confidence has improved and the move descriptions helped me follow along a little better than last time." ~Aaron Page I love bringing friends to classes and meeting new ones. Hope to see you at one of my classes in the future, friend! 12/22
