Last week I was accused of abandoning Yoga for my other activities. You know who are and I forgive you for being misguided. I haven't abandoned Yoga at all. I just haven't been to a class in some time. Anyway, while on vacation, I have become a Yoga instructor. I'm on vacation with my friends from Virginia and about 5 years ago I did some while while I was here. My one friend was hoping I would be doing Yoga again and she started practicing with me. So that made the friend and Bob (the husband). Then Bob started talking about my holding Yoga classes and I got a couple of more people saying they are going to stop by.
This morning there were three of us (Bob got sick so he didn't join in). Another friend's wife joined today and she has never done Yoga before so I was a beginner instructor. It was interesting to remember starting from the beginning and explaining Mountain Pose and breathing to somebody.
So I haven't given up on Yoga. If anything this trip has helped me figure out how to maintain practicing on my own.
So far I've done Yoga every day except one since I got here. Yesterday, I kayaked for a couple of hours and today I ran for 30 minutes.
It has been an event-filled vacation but mostly I still hang out at the beach.

Does this mean I have to call you Swami?
Yogini might be a better salutation, and after reading the Wikipedia definition below, it seems like a good fit, no?
Tantric scholars have written about yoginis as independent, outspoken women with a gracefulness of spirit without whom Yoga can fail in its purpose and remain sterile.
