Emmy Cleaves workshop Seattle- 9/10/16

I spent a glorious day in downtown Seattle on Saturday. The weather was perfect, my hotel was baller, and I got to learn more about yoga from Bikram's first and foremost teacher, Emmy Cleaves. She's in her 90s and looks amazing in a unitard. One of my favorite tips was one she asked the men in the room to close their ears for but it was REALLY helpful! On the last part of Stretching pose (on the floor) she told the ladies to "make sure your VJ is flat on the ground"! That really helped because sometimes my VJ has a tendency to creep up...you don't want that! The room was PACKED though not hot enough but who can complain. This was a once in a lifetime experience and I enjoyed every second of it. I even enjoyed walking in downtown Seattle during my break. I find Seattle to be sort of an ugly, urine soaked downtown but on this day it looked lovely...or maybe I was just seeing things differently!
