Teaching in India Week 0, Day 1

Impromptu dance session with one of my small groups after class in our new meditation / class room. (One of my students captured the moment on my phone). These kids are so sweet and engaged... it's amazing. 

Today was the first day of our first full week together- so we're settling in nicely to our new schedule.

This week we are focussed on balance and relaxation and learning key anatomy and "American asana" terms (i.e. Pigeon toe your feet, and swan dive forward).

We're practicing the ashtanga sun salutation series and enjoying chanting (and singing) together.

We are also implementing rules of engagement to promote respect for self and others....and encouraging autonomy! It's a big one for these kids and I'm really curious to see how they respond moving forward.

Will keep you posted!
