Good news, everyone! Baxter’s going to be teaching at the San Francisco Yoga Journal Conference, January 17 - 21, 2013. We hope to see some of you there. For the first time, Baxter will be presenting an all-day workshop on Yoga for Healthy Aging. And he’ll also be teaching a two-hour class on Yoga for Arthritis. Obviously, he was inspired by his writing for this blog, and by the feedback he gets from you, our readers.
Speaking of which, he’s been asked to do one more class at the conference and hasn’t yet picked the topic. What would you like him to teach? Yes, we want to hear your ideas!

| This could be yours.... |
To encourage you to make some good suggestions, we decided to hold our first-ever giveaway. The prize will be a yoga book by Nina and Rodney Yee, either
Yoga: The Poetry of the Body or
Moving Toward Balance, your choice.
To enter the contest, leave a comment on this post suggesting a topic for Baxter to teach at the conference and tell us which of the two books you’d like most to win. It’s okay to vote for topic that someone else has already suggested because multiple votes for the same idea will tell us which suggestion is the most popular. We’ll have two winners: the one with the idea we like the best, and a commenter selected at random.
You have a week to enter the contest, and we’ll announce the winners at the end of next week. Now go forth and get creative!

Hi. I have "tennis elbow" for quite sometime, now, I'm 48 yrs young ;) and I would very much like to learn how to do a bridge pose. I think it's because of my injury that I cannot do it, but on the other hand, I never did it! How can I learn to do it?
ReplyDeleteMoving toward balance is what I need right now, and the book will be welcomed too :)
Class idea: "Slow Down and Savor"
ReplyDeleteClass idea: posture.
ReplyDeleteI had recurring tendonitis in my shoulder and cured it by learning to keep my shoulder blades on my back. The acromium was rubbing on the biceps tendon, causing the problem. I see so many people with rounded shoulders, kyphosis, and forward heads.
I already own both books; if you use my idea, give the book to someone else.

How about a class that reverses the strain that we or at least I am putting on my upper body by texting, emailing and even designing on my iPhone.
ReplyDeleteI would like Yoga: The Poetry of the Body, since I already have the other one. Thanks!
Yoga for scoliosis! (very few people have perfectly straight spines and much of the medical world claim that after puberty, this is incurable). I choose not to believe that...
ReplyDeleteBook: moving toward balance
I won't be able to attend the conference because I will be in teacher training that weekend.
ReplyDeleteIf I were able to attend, I would love a class on pranayama. I find so few people who teach this important subject.
I would love the book Moving Toward Balance since I have the other.

Last fall I tore my rotator cuff. I was desperate for information on how to heal it and how to keep up a modified practice during rehabilitation.
ReplyDeleteI would prefer which ever book which would help me with home practice.
