Today is the first day....

Monday mornings are always a shock to the system, especially when they're Tuesdays. So I really don't blame myself for the oversleep. I do feel slightly guilty tho cause I was supposed to give young Malmo a ride on the first day of school--yep it's begun again over at FH. Beware the busdriver insanity. And I'll save my school supply rant for another day--I'm sure you can't wait! Anyway somehow young Malmo and his shipping container of pens and pencils seems to have made it to class by other means. This is where the iphone comes in handy, except when it gets glitchy, which is way too often. I facetimed young Malmo in homeroom, but for some reason he didn't answer. I ask you Steve Jobs, WT_? I probably hosed something up or the iphone crapped out (or as my dad the fisherman used to say, "carped out").

And this reminds me of some of the great iphone stuff we here at Cheever Yoga have in the works for you. I'm not at liberty to reveal everything right now, but Bo Rummels down at Icebox Technology (I think it's Icebox Technology--if not it should be) is working on some prototypes for the iphone. One thing I can tell you about is our patent pending "Wasasana" app. You know that one app everybody uses at the grocery store? The one where if you hear a song you like you point your phone at the speaker and it tells you what the song is? That one. Well, we're doing something like that for yoga. The idea is you point the iphone camera at somebody doing yoga and it will tell you what the pose is. And not just that. It'll tell you how to do the pose properly. How useful will that be!!! Can't tell you how excited we are about this.

So getting back around to a Monday--scratch that, Tuesday morning. The benefit of a sleep in is the great ball of our solar system was already sending beams my way, inviting a handful of deep sun salutations. Amazing how down dog especially rids the mind of day to day clutter. I'm whole again and rarin' to start the day. Watch out IF.

  1. Hey Dall, will your iphone app only have the sanskrit name of the poses? I can't keep my bakasana straight from my gomukhasana, so I for one would love to see the English--or whatever you call it--name.

    P.S., can't wait for this to come out. I might finally understand what they're doing in one of Shatra's advanced classes!

  2. Hi Mandy. For sure, we will have both Sanskrit and English pose names. We know how confusing it can be. If I had a dollar for every time I told students to do bakasana and they did sukhasana I'd be rich enough to buy the bridge.

  3. Yoga Dallas training courses are picking up great momentum with the passing time. If you wish to learn about yoga in the proper manner and use the knowledge to help others then nothing can be better than the yoga Dallas center.
