Kathleen's Ideas for the House

Nutrition/Cooking
1) Keeping healthy grains, beans and breads readily available at all times. For example, cooking a dhal or bean soup at least every other day. Cooking brown basmati rice or a whole grain pasta at least every other day. Keeping some nice fresh breads like that great Whole Foods pumpernickel bread. I will do most of the cooking.
2) Keeping fresh fruits and vegetables readily available at all times.
3) Having a weekly vegan dinner where we try new recipes (did you already say that)?
Taking Pride and Joy in a Lovely Home
1) Keeping the kitchen, living area, and studio in "studio order" - pick up/clean up after each day so that everything is ready for the next day.
2) Fresh flowers at least once a week (on me!)
3) Keeping nice smelling candles, room sprays, incense around.
Asana
1) Stocking the studio with what we need for comfortable practice.
2) Anatomy models for education and instruction.
2) Morning asana to start the day.
Events
1) Confidence building for yoga instructors: Focusing on voice, philosophic instruction, assists and other aspects of instruction. Provide a supportive environment and suggestions to help new instructors build confidence in their approach.
2) Anatomy review: Focusing on different parts of the human system.
3) Creative Integration Evenings: Get togethers where we brainstorm and invite ideas about integrating different yoga philosophies and styles, dance, massage, inspirational reading, any form of movement, to bring something new to instruction.
