Hi everybody!  The following is a public service announcement.  It is almost impossible to stay in a bad mood when listening to either The Jackson Five or Kool and the Gang’s “Get Down On It“.   You can try to scowl but you just end up looking silly.

How you gonna do it if you really don't wanna dance?

If that little tip wasn’t a sufficient energy-adjuster, this weekend Christine Price Clark’s magnificent workshop “In Good Company” is at the West Vancouver Community Centre, hosted by Yogapod.  Having hung out with Christine a time or two I know you will bask in her warm presence and insightful teaching.  Coming up quick, sign up today!

Any of my readers who are also teachers, of any style, I am super excited to announce the Teacher Intensives that I’m co-teaching with Christine and Shelley Tomczyk.  We’ve been brainstorming these for ages:  a high level venue of companionship, mentorship and study for those wishing to hone their offerings to a Ginsu-knife clarity.  So much yoga in Vancouver has been expanding to the point where the seams are stretched and teachers can feel solitary and suffer burnout or lack of inspiration:  this is the cure:  an increased depth of service, understanding, and precision.  Plus the poster is ra-ha-ha-had.  Contact Inner Space to enrol.

Lastly, I’m back to Penticton and Kelowna for a long weekend mini-tour, and I’m thrilled to be a part of the growing strong community there.  Penticton Nov 3+4, Kelowna Nov. 5+6, we’re packin’ the twins and boogieing to the Interior.  If you have friends or folks out there, let them know!  From side bending-twisting-flow to an intermediate/advanced practice to therapeutics, it’s all happening; there’ll be something in there for you.

I really wish I could blog more, but the twins are five months old and generally if I have to actually do any sort of work on the computer that’s more intense than just reading, the sleep deprivation kicks in and the pixels start to dissolve and swim in front of my eyes, so I acknowledge the sporadic and somewhat self-serving nature of this announcement post, and just use it as a hook to say if ya miss me I’ll see you at these events, heh.
