A Busy Summer

I am a really bad blogger over here. So much going on with me and FOJY I should be bragging about it all over the place!

I decided that teaching yoga at farmer's markets is the next new thing. I have already done it once at the Spring Glen Market in Hamden, CT and will again on Aug 18 from 4-5pm. I taught today at the Coventry Farmer's Market in Coventry, CT and will again on Sept 6. I will also be teaching at the Simsbury Market in Simsbury, CT on Aug 27 at 2:30pm. You can see my full schedule here.

This summer was supposed to be quiet with all of my after-school classes on hiatus but I somehow managed to keep myself really busy. I did a few teacher trainings and just scheduled a few more for the fall.

I really want to focus on training teachers to use yoga in the classroom. What amazing tools for kids to use to stay focused and calm and also have fun. I really see this as preventative medicine - this would solve the health care issue for the future! Obama, are you listening?

Calling all Business Organizers!

Well, I guess it's a good thing. I am getting too busy to manage this business on my own. I need someone who wants to organize me, be an assistant of some sort and just help me grow this thing. I have 10 employees now, coast to coast. It's all pretty exciting stuff.
I guess with all this free time I wasn't supposed to have, I am trying to use it to work and grow FOJY.

I am doing some trainings in the public schools - teaching teachers to use yoga in their classroom. This is what I love and find most rewarding. I think if we can do this, then our future generation is going to be one step ahead of the game. With their teachers giving them tools to focus, breathe, take tests better, and just learn better overall - this is what I call preventative medicine. I think this could be our answer to the health care problem in our country.

I also will be doing some trainings for anyone else interested in teaching yoga to kids. Check out my website and think about signing up!!! We need as many people out there doing this with kids. It's the answer to all our problems...I feel it.
