Poetry in Motion or Accident Waiting to Happen?

Call me old fashioned, but when I read this post on The Ski Channel website about the new yoga and roller blade hybrid, Mobile Yoga, I cringed a little bit. You see, in the yoga community (or at least in my circle), we are very careful to protect our bodies by finding grounding and stability in the poses. That’s why we focus so much on alignment, right? I’ve never tried to practice yoga on roller blades so maybe I’m not qualified to have an opinion, but I can’t imagine how one would find stability. Perhaps, that’s what makes it
fun and challenging?

What do you think? Has anybody out there tried Mobile Yoga? Would you try it if given the opportunity?

Teacher Training Scholarships

July 23rd, 2009 levis25

If you’ve always wanted to become a yoga teacher but the stars haven’t aligned to make it possible, this might be the opportunity you’ve been waiting for.

Yoga Works, the yoga studio chain with 23 studios in California and New York, and Zobha, the yoga clothing company, are offering a need-based yoga teacher training scholarship in January 2010. This pilot program will be for the Yoga Works 200-hour teacher training at the new Walnut Creek, California location (that’s near San Francisco, for those of you who aren’t familiar). “ The scholarship
will be available to individuals who are excellent candidates for the program,
but may not have the means to make it a reality,” said a recent press release. When I learn more about the application process, I’ll be sure to let you know.

Other teacher training scholarships (Click the links for more info.):
YogaBasics.com awards a teacher training scholarship for $600 twice a year.
Scholarships are available for Yoga Journal conferences.
