Great class with J tonight, though it continues to be so sticky and hot that you can't even walk around and stay dry. San Fran should be a relief in this regard. Anyway, J had us do "layers," by which she means moving from one pose to the other: toe-finger (where you have your leg straight out in front of you, and a yogic toe-lock with the first two fingers of your hand around your toe), then tree pose, then interlocking your hands behind you and leaning forward, still in tree, and aiming your hands at the ceiling; then moving back into a lunge.

We also did half-moon (left foot on floor, left fingertips on floor, right leg perpendicular to floor, right arm straight up). We did a variation where you catch hold of the right ankle, bend it back, and open your chest. J came by and opened me up even further by pulling my right shoulder back.

I got my recommendation from her. It seems good. She has certifications from two places, one in Santa Barbara, one in NYC, and is working on another. She's been teaching for 7 years. So I'll go to D's office tomorrow, print out my yoga essays, and pass them in along with J's recommendation and AT's recommendation.

Good luck to you with your applications! Becoming a yoga teacher could be a wonderful process of introspection and an opportunity to do great things. Go for it!
