Blog 15: Independent Component 2 Approval

1) I would like to do 30 more hours of mentorship for my second independent component.
2) I will continue to spend my weekend mornings practicing yoga and helping my mentor.
3)  Now that I've been studying under my mentor for a while she has entrusted me with more responsibilities. Not only have I been physically been practicing yoga but my mentor has been teaching me the business side of the studio. This would help me understand all aspects of Bikram Yoga, as well as expose me to more research and more people who are willing to answer my questions.

Blog 13: Lesson 2 Reflection

1) I had a lot of fun preparing making the power point, like taking pictures.

2a) I would give myself an AP for my presentation
2b) I know I didn't make time

3) I think it was a good idea to take pictures and talk about each pose so when it came time for the activity everyone had an idea of what was going on.

4) I would speak much slower and talk more about my answer

5) I think I want my answer 2 to be about the heat or about compression poses but i haven't made up my mind yet

Blog 10: The Holiday

1) During the break I consistently practiced yoga at the studio and talked to my mentor. I also attended a class let by Balwan who is part of the yoga teacher training program.

2) The most important thing that I learned was not to push myself too hard during class.  My mentor always tells me to take it slow but I really want to master all the poses.  I used to push too hard or go into a part of a posture I wasn't warmed up for and feel really sore the next day.

3) For an interview I would talk to Greg White, the owner of Bikram Yoga Rancho Cucamonga.  He has been teaching Bikram Yoga for 5 years and my mentor and I have explained the senior project to him.

Extra Post December

Last week the flooring was redone.  Believe it or not, this is actually a special type of carpet that doesn't absorb any moisture.  The old laminate was put in too close together which is not good.  It's a change but much better. 

Extra Post November (belated)

The  break has really thrown me out of whack.  I haven't been checking my email so I drove to mentorship not knowing the 7am class was cancelled :(
