As many of you already know, 2010 is a year of change, and I'm am embarking on a new journey. I will be leaving for India in Feb, when I come back I'll be going on tour (The Great Idea Tour), then I'll be coming back to teach the yoga retreat in Baja (SriYogaRetreats.com) from April 2-7, then I'll be back home to further my ParaYoga study and go back on tour to the east coast. This takes me up to May 1. whew!

And if that's not enough, I'm working on creating a 200 hr Yoga Teacher Training with fellow amazing yogini Brenna Geehan which will be submitted to Yoga Alliance for approval before I leave, and will be ready for you to take sometime in the fall!

What brought me to this point in time? Many things, including you, my students, who have inspired me to be the best teacher I can be, and who are a constant reflection of the joy that comes from sharing the practice with you.

One of the hardest things for me was when I realized that in order for me to grow to my fullest, I needed to release my attachments to my already extremely happy almost perfect life. And i discovered that one of my greatest attachments was to you, my students. There is something unique, profound, and special in the student/teacher relationship, and I want you to know that you will eternally live in my heart.


Who knows what the future will bring. I know it that it's perfect, whatever it is, and the less I resist, the more I will enjoy the journey. I may end up teaching regular classes again, I may end up being a sub, giving privates, teaching workshops, or playing music. Know that I am always available via email or meditation in case you have any questions, and I hope that you will be able to join me at the retreat and teacher training.

It has been, and will continue to be, my honor to witness your miracle. Watching your lives change before my my very eyes has been truly my honor.

With that, I'll be sending out an email when I know the dates of my "for now final classes." January is a safe bet (unless you're Golds Castro - last Friday in Jan is the Yoga Journal Conf and Arthur will be subbing).

with infinite gratitude, appreciation, and love,
your humble servant,
Jean
