Saturday in Austin

Well, I had a fun night up in Waco at I35 Prime, got up this morning and came down to teach for Jessica at Austin Kula. It was a lot of fun, Jeri, Ari, Pamela, Genevieve, and Ross were there. We worked on inversions, dhanurasana and parsva dhanurasana. Then we went to eat at La Madeleine, Yummy. Yet another thing that would be great for Waco to have, that would do really well there and yet it doesn't. Ongoing puzzle. Class was really fun. A really nice studio space. I found out that Genevieve's dad is Henry Rosemont, a very famous Asian Philosopher. I've actually had dinner with him twice. We have a very gifted student in common, Erin Cline. Small world!

I went to Peggy's update from Pune workshop this afternoon, then Devon and I ate at Zocalo.

It sounds so cliched, but there really is just so much to do here.

Anne's Austin yoga Debut

I'll be teaching a class Saturday at 10:30 at Austin Yoga Kula.

Very exciting.

lots of inversions for sure.

Fun weekend in Austin

Yoga immersion for sure. Jaya taught a workshop this weekend as did Christina so I floated back and forth between Iyengar Yoga Land and Anusara Yoga Land. It was my first class with Jaya since rooming with her in India. It was great to hear her perspective on our shared experience of July in Pune. Christina did a fabulous job at her immersion. She is a really gifted teacher. She also has really fun students that I'm enjoying getting to know.

Lenore and Henry and H.W. came back Sunday evening for a visit in my new abode. H.W. didn't quite know what to make of Dylan the Dog. He is much larger, even than Miro, the largest domestic cat on the planet, okay maybe not the planet, but Miro, L and H's cat, (one of three) is QUITE LARGE.

Mostly, I just totally dig being in Austin. So much to do, see, eat....

Had a great day in Waco, lectured on Hinduism, taught a fun yoga class, the cats are happy to see me.

Yoga Teaching in Austin

Starting January 11, 2008, I'll be teaching a Friday Morning Yoga class at Clear Spring Studio.
9:30- 11:00. Clear Spring Studio is conveniently located just off South 1st, right across from Austin School for the Deaf.

Information about other public classes in the Austin area to follow.

The Week in Waco

After the Labor of Love festivities, I drove back up to Waco. Went to a fun dinner party at Anne and Mark's house. Tuesday was a catch up with the domestic dimensions of life sort of day. I wrote a bit and taught yoga. Wednesday- a whirlwind of Baylor activity. Dan and Janelle gave presentations on the Crito and I listened to an excellent lecture on the historical context of Exodus. Who knew that the structure of Hittite treaties had such relevance! This morning, I'm writing a bit and then heading down to Austin for a day of yoga. It is a little hectic this going back and forth, but well worth the effort!

Labor Day Morning

It is really nice to have Labor Day as a holiday again! When I first started work at Baylor, we had it off, but then there was a ten year period of time when we didn't get the holiday. However, order has been restored to that particular domain of the cosmos as Anne experiences it.

I'm getting ready to revise some of the Republic chapter. Then I'll head down to San Marcos for a visit to Anusara Land and then brave the traffic back up to a party I've been invited to in Waco.

Had a great weekend down here. Devon, Elana and I walked in the new park. Great views of downtown. Then, we ate at Galaxy Cafe. It is owned by the same people who run the Zocalo Taco place Christina and I went to Thursday night. Great food, great atmosphere, very reasonable prices. Though Macaroni and Cheese is not a high priced item. Sunday, I went to Gioconda's class again and did various Austin like things, BookPeople, Whole Foods, Central Market, acupuncture treatment. (okay, I probably could get acupuncture somewhere in Waco!)

Saturday afternoon

Had a fun time in Waco Friday night. Gabrielle and I checked out the new wine bar in Hewitt, but left after a glass (of one of their three chardonnays) and went to 135 prime, which is really the coolest place in Waco to hang out. Then, I met Lewis and Angela for dinner and looked at their wedding videos...

This morning I went to Jessica's first saturday morning class at Austin Kula. Great class. Great space and after a brief run down south to talk with Lori at YogaYoga, I met the pancake posse at Magnolia Cafe. Spent the afternoon resting and hanging out with Dylan. I'm getting ready to meet Alana and Devon for a walk and dinner.

I really just love being here.
