Week One

“When we acknowledge that all of life is sacred and that each act is an act of choice and therefore sacred, then life is a sacred dance lived consciously each moment. When we live at this level, we participate in the creation of a better world.”
~Scout Cloud

48 Students, 10 weeks, 4 classes per week. This is first time, as far as I know, that a semester long yoga class has been taught in a high school setting in all of Horry and Georgetown counties. That is pretty cool. Congratulations on being a part of such a "ground breaking experiment!"
We began our journey with the basic formalities... introductions and taking a first look at the question: What is Yoga? The class moved through Surya Namaskara A & B (Sun Salutation A & B), which are the first steps to this amazing dance with our selves, we are about to learn.

Do you have any thoughts or comments on the class? How did you feel after? Were you sore the next day? Were you suprised by anything you experienced or was it what you expected?

What did I learn? I learned that I need to check and make sure my cd does not skip the next time :-), I remembered how much I loved my experience at the Academy and how even though I was there 10 years ago (ok, 12 years), the school still has the same essence and integrity traveling though the halls and that makes me proud to be an alumni, I realized the committment I have made to all of you by teaching this class and I am totally in for this ride.

This is an open forum to post questions or thoughts. I will be using this blog to document the classes, post pics and share with the people who helped to make this a possibility. The only thing that I ask out of each of you who have made a committment to be a part of this is to participate in some way in each class. You are free to take with you the parts that fit, and to leave the parts that don't.

With that said, I hope that you all survived the hurricane and I will see you next week!

Namaste,
Jessica
