Dia 5 - El dia que tome yoga en espanol

Ay dios mio. 

Cinco de Mayo (I swear, totally a coincidence) was spent doing a yoga class taught in Spanish by the incredible Trevor Hawkins.  8:00am Saturdays, at Haute in Carlsbad.  It was a freaking blast.  Now, some of you may be wondering if I speak Spanish.  No!  (Okay, that's Spanish, but again, just a coincidence.)  But I was there - following the beautiful instruction by a native speaker.  The music was latin, though brought in some really unexpected covers -- think U2 and Coldplay in espanol.  Trevor had the lot of us (maybe 16-20?) form a circle.  I had my back to the mirror when facing the middle of the room.  Fun to not see myself during practice... though I did have a rather unflattering view of my reddening face while in down dog.  But no matter!  We yoga'd!  And it was freeing and fun and I just can't recommend it enough.  Trevor still uses the Sanskrit names for the poses, but hearing them with a Spanish accent was totally unexpected.  There was laughter and energy and joy in this class, and I will absolutely be taking it again.

For those of you nervous about trying it, don't be.  It is totally worth experiencing.  And it's the Hot A flow -- so regulars will absolutely know what is going on.  Even if you've never done the A flow... try it.  Seriously.  Like, this week.

Had to hustle home so we could head up to LA for a friend's concert.  Will be back teaching at Haute tomorrow morning.

Thank you Trevor!  Thank you Haute!  Amazing way to start a Saturday.  For those of you interested, he also does this in Solana Beach on Fridays at 3, I believe.
