Hi Everyone,I was lucky enough to have tea with two of our wonderful instructors this week: Demi Langford and Lisa "Firefly" Johnston. It reminded me of how good it is for the mental health to have friends who can listen and help us think through our dilemmas. Everyone we encounter offers us a unique perspective on truth. As my Moo Gong Do teacher used to say, "even if I am lying to you I am speaking the truth." The truth has a way of making itself known to us, even in the midst of confusion, mixed messages, and downright lies. Demi shared a story with us that is particularly telling in this respect. Someone once asked the Dalai Lama who his greatest spiritual teacher was, naturally thinking  he would say Gandhi, or Jesus, or some other famous and sacred luminary. The Dalai Lama replied, "Chairman Mao." In other words, the person who had caused the most destruction and violence to everything he held dear. Sometimes it is the people who most tear us down that provide the best spiritual instruction. We may not want to have them in our house, or invite them out to tea, but they can teach us the most about our inner convictions, our sense of self, spirit, and truth. So this week I am giving thanks both for those who listen and sympathize, and those who rub me the wrong way. Life isn't all rainbows and puppy dog tails. But when we learn to see the value in adversity, we come a lot closer to that proverbial pot of gold.
Namaste,
Erin

Thanksgiving Gratitude Practice

| Teacher Training |
| We are deeply honored to announce our first ever Avenues Yoga Teacher Training, starting January 2011. This will be a six month 200 hour teacher training in partnership with Peter Francyk. This is a tremendous opportunity for those looking to receive certification in Yoga instruction, or for teachers and serious students wishing to take their studies deeper.
While Erin will provide the b asics of a structured teacher training program, Peter will take us deeper into the mysteries of Yoga technique, philosophy and conceptualization.
Peter brings a depth of knowledge and breadth of experience that you will not find anywhere else. If you are looking for a truly unique teacher training program, this is it.
This is going to be an amazing, provocative, life-changing experience. To express interest in the program, or if you have questions, send an email to Erin by clicking here. More details coming soon!

He has danced professionally both with Repertory Dance Theatre of Salt Lake City and with Pilobolus of New York City.

Patabhi Jois, SN Goenka, Eiko & Koma, Diego Piņon, Cristina Mendoza Vidal, and many others. He is very grateful to his teachers and brings elements of their teachings to his students through the filter of his own daily practice. Peter is known for his grace, enthusiasm, kindness and ability to elucidate and penetrate deeply into yogic concepts and weave them throughout the practice.
