Yoga, Lunch, and Love: Teaching A Private: Makena, HI: November 27, 2021

After yoga we walked and/or scooted to eat lunch on the beach at The Bus Stop.

Yoga meets us where we’re at. I meet so many people who say they want to do yoga but they can’t. One of my greatest joys is showing people that they CAN.

For sure it’s challenging with physical limitations, but it’s nothing compared to mental limitations. This is the second class with this group. I think they are relieved, more than anything, that it didn’t “hurt”, and that there was way more yes, and good job. and nicely done than almost any instruction because that really is the biggest alignment to overcome when you’ve been telling yourself NO for decades.

We had a nice stretch, a few laughs, and then we all made our way to a lovely lunch at the beach. Maybe it was the yoga, maybe it was the margaritas but they all seemed to now love yoga too.

Here’s our sequence
