The Ordinary Yogi

The Ordinary Yogi

So this is day one of my soon to be almost famous blog (you gotta dream big).  I have never even kept up with a journal but for the past year it’s been swimming around in my head that I should write a blog.  And since I’ve “cooked” the idea for a bit, I decided no time like the present.

The name of this blog comes from one of my students years ago.  She was new to yoga and like many became an enthusiastic practitioner of the discipline.  One day after class, she told me one of her favorite things about my class was that I was just an ordinary person, a mom with kids and a regular life, who loved yoga and shared it with others.

Her comments really inspired me.  I did love this thing called yoga and it fulfilled me in so many ways to share it with others.  So here I am 5 or 6 years later still sharing yoga with others.

I’m writing this on my husband’s laptop as we drive back from Lewes (pronounced Loo-is) DE (one of my favorite places that I am sure I’ll share with you in the future).  We went for a quick get away with the boys, just needing a day or so away from the house and regular life.  And although I talked about and thought about yoga, I didn’t actually do any yoga poses (yet, there is always tonight).  And for me that’s all right.

So to some up this intro, I’ve been teaching yoga for 10 years and I still love it.  I like to do lots of things: read fiction, take pictures, make cards, scrapbook, organize things, eat out, bake, walk my dog and take care of my family.  My name is Audra and I am an ordinary yogi.
