Yoga for Geeks - First Success!

Today at lunch at the OSCMS conference, I led my first-ever Yoga for Geeks class. It was fun! There were 14 people in the room - including the #1 and #2 Drupal dudes in the world, Dries and Steven - and it was great. It made me feel so happy to combine these two spheres of my life - especially into something that felt like it was making a real contribution to the event. For many of the participants, it was their first-ever class, and several people told me afterwards that it was the first moment they hadn't felt stressed all day - which made it all worthwhile, right there, for me.

Bolstered (no yoga pun intended) by today's success, I'm offering it again tomorrow at Moosecamp. Come on down at 11:45 for an hour of stretching and relaxation - appropriate for all levels of experience and flexibility. Yoga mats provided for the first 14 people!

Oh... and I registered yogaforgeeks.com today - there's nothing up there now, but there will be soon. :)

the class was awesome sarah. 15 peeps is way more than i expected. everyone really seemed to be into it and i bet some of them will even try it again. i haven't felt so good as the few times i've done yoga with you lately... definately helps me de-stress in a way that is healthy and positive. thx, and much love. :)
