I realize that its been almost 2 months since i’ve blogged. I also realize that to make this an important part of my business and website, I have to keep current. This is going to be my next goal. I’m sorry for neglecting you!! So onto something more interesting… I gave my first teacher training last month. Rosey and I had 4 eager students who were anxious to be taught the ins and outs of children’s yoga. The weekend turned out better then I could have ever imagined.
