Yeah Dave Yoga

I had a great week-end: three sessions with Yoga Dave: yoga, wine and chocolate. The chocolate was exquisite, the wine a cool idea and the yoga was great! Dave is a great guy.

Here are a few ideas that I got:

The gem: if you are on a highway and the traffic is impossibly slow, and you notice that the reason the traffic is slow is because everyone slows down to look at some accident on the side of the road. Life is pretty much the same: we go at full speed and then all of a sudden we see something out of the ordinary and slow down to see it better (or talk about it) and slow others down behind us. What if we could ignore those little accidents on the side of the road and just keep going full speed ahead. How far could we get if all we listened to was people that helped us maintain speed and encourage us on our way?

The yoga lessons:
- make them laugh! Really hard without having any idea why they laugh, have a healthy non-judging laugh.
- keep postures longer; pick up a posture to open a chakra and maintain it for 5 minutes
- when you're genuine, you don't need to be perfect
- the scented simple oils work very well: a dash of lavender or violet oil on the inside of the elbow will be with them for the day
- help the ones that seem to struggle or rest first... they need it most; they need to know that they are gently accepted.

Thanks Dave and Wendy! It was a great week-end!
