well here's a new development. Just today, I've been offered the group fitness coordinator position at a new gym that is opening up near where I live. I noticed it on the way home from Thanksgiving dinner and then a friend of mine called me yesterday

December is always a time that I take stock of what I accomplished during the year, gear up for the next year, and make a quickie list of some things I'd really like to get done before January 1st rolls around. Here's a sample:finally read "The

i'm in one of those inconsolable cranky moods. I was up early this morning offering the free yoga class here at the neighborhood facility and frankly was BLOWN away when **17** people showed up. Maybe 4 or 5 of them were my regular morning students,

I really didn't consider myself much of a shopper, clothes horse, or shoe conniseur. But on second thought?  I think I was in denial.  I decided to clean out my closet yesterday. OH.MY.GOD.I have 14 pairs of athletic shoes..not including 3 pairs o

I went a little nuts on the ball class yesterday. We rested with bounces followed by low "chair" hover sits over the ball for crazy counts like 16, then 32, then 64, then 128 for the last set. For some reason I thought my quads would be s

Kipper is a weird puppy. He absolutely can't stand to go for a walk outside. I get the leash, or even go towards the drawer where the leash is kept and he runs back to his bed and cowers like I've beaten him with a broken pop bottle for an hour. I ju

there is this woman in my Monday morning yoga class. She's always frowning. Always negative. I just can't get a feel for whether she likes coming to class or thinks it's pure torture, yet still comes each week for her regular dose. This morning I had

Saturday morning was the "new instructor" intro meeting at my neighborhood facility..where not ONE of the 14 or 15 or so people that called me a month ago showed up. NOT ONE. Only the current instructors I have on staff that want to get th

I managed to catch my friend's Monday night class at the local YMCA this week. It's at 8pm and the room is packed. Amazing for such a late hour, but she is such a good instructor. She infuses her teaching with humor and fun and everyone was having a

I had the strangest thing happen a week ago and frankly I just can't keep quiet about it any longer. Granted... when you chat with someone over the internet you get a certain idea of what they are like. Sometimes when you meet that person they are se

We just got home from the dog show. Kipper's breeder was in effect and we got to see his sister, who looks NOTHING like Kippy! Her legs are about 1/2 as short as his and her entire face is blonde. She's a real firecracker too..not laid back and all

My new 8:30am yoga class started this morning at the university gym. Funny..I never could manage to get my ass out of bed and get to work on time at the lab but when I'm teaching yoga? Damn. I'm 15 minutes early. I agreed to sub the 10:00am pilates/y

I'd certainly stay in bed this morning if it wasn't for the fact I've got to schlep down to the ladies gym and teach the big stability ball class at 9:30am.  Espresso is brewing..I know it won't help today. It's finally a brisk cool autumn morning h
