67. Teach a yoga class: Not only have I taught one yoga class (and wrote about it in 2017), but I've taught a yoga class...times 120! I almost cannot comprehend that I have taught one-hundred-twenty classes since I received my certification at the end of April, 2017. 113 vinyasa classes and 7 chair classes. 107 hour-long classes, 13 classes where I assisted, tandem taught with another teacher, or taught a shortened 30 minute class. I've taught classes outdoors in parks, in back yards, in studios, for free at the library, in health treatment centers, and in a senior living community. I've taught private classes, small classes of 2-5 people, medium-sized classes of 10-20, and even one class with over 100 students. I've taught classes to friends and to the community for free, and I've taught for pay. I've taught adults age 20s through age 80s. I've stumbled over words, forgotten sequences, given awkward adjustments, felt like a failure, and wished no one would show up to the next class. And, the opposite is also true in every way, where the words came easy and the sequences flowed smoothly, where I've given caring, well-delivered adjustments, felt completely confident and clear, and felt pure excitement to teach the next class.
79. Do a cartwheel: It wasn't pretty, but I did it, goofing around in the basement, and I'm thankful that there isn't a scrap of photographic or video evidence. You'll just have to take my word that it happened.
86. Learn how to play darts: This one isn't exactly true...B has explained the rules and the scoring to a couple of different dart games, but it hasn't stuck. I'm more of an observer to bar games than a skilled participant. Unless it's beer pong. I'm pretty good at that one. And, I've had some shining flip cup victories as well
87. Join a trivia league: This one isn't exactly true either, but last winter on a visit home, B and I joined my cousin's Trivia team, The Rude Ghosts (booooo!) So, that kind of counts, right? We played at the famous Bells, one of my favorite bars in Kzoo, and I think I answered, like, maybe one question. Ah, but how do they live without my talents each week?
Bonus Items
101. "Get Gonged" at a full moon gong bath: I've participated this one twice now, but never wrote about it. I'll sum it up in 3 top of mind words: Strange. Crowded. Vibrations. And yes, I'll likely take part again some time. Have no idea what I'm talking about? The event takes place each month on the night of the Full Moon at One Yoga, lead by Kundalini instructor Nicole Nardone. You can check out her workshops to learn more.
106. Take an Iyengar Yoga class: I checked this one off during my Santa Cruz summer. Sadly, very few options for Iyengar (or Iyengar inspired) yoga exist here in Minneapolis, otherwise, I'd keep it up.
107. Take a Bunny Yoga Class: Yep, yoga with bunnies, to benefit the Minnesota Companion Rabbit Society. It was soft, fluffy, friendly, and surprisingly free of bunny turds. Quite naturally, I loved every minute of the practice, lead by my yoga bud, DR. Check out the event photos on Flickr, and see if you can spot the little black bunny, mid yawn (this photo also features my feet)!
