Tammy,

You’ll remember my shame caused a self-induced banishment from your classes (see previous email [post]).  Today I had a nice 15 minute time frame which you once told me would be great for starting a home yoga practice.

I brought out a mat.  Then I asked myself, ok, so how much am I going to charge myself for lessons?  I need a business plan.  Let’s see:  I have no training as a yoga teacher, I have never been to an ashram in India, and I barely know any Sanskrit.  I thought about these issues for a few minutes.  I decided to let it go and the answers would come to me when I am relaxed.   Which area of the house is the best for yoga practice?  Do I want a room with or without light?  Shivasana is great with no light but how would I do the sun salutations?  Ok, half moon pose will be my go to pose.   I thought about a mirror but then I wouldn’t be feeling the pose and I wouldn’t be in the moment.   My bell started to ring signaling that my session was over.   Gotta head to Starbucks for a soothing latte.  Home yoga is way more stressful than your studio classes.
