There’s nothing I love more than hearing how other people got interested in the practice of yoga, their first a-ha moments, and the thing that keeps them coming back to the mat time and time again. I get little glimpses into who you and what you practice from your comments, but I want to know more! And I’m sure I’m not the only one…
So this is what I propose:
Write a story about how you came to be a yoga student. Tell us all about the fateful day that you decided to pop into a class for the first time, and why you kept coming back.
Or if you’re not the story-telling type, answer these questions:
This is my picture in one of my favorite poses. It’s only fair. |
1. What made you decide to take your first yoga class? Describe the experience.
2. Tell us about one of your biggest yoga a-ha moments.
3. Besides the teacher who is supposed to teach you yoga, who or what is your best yoga teacher? (Think unconventional teachers here… nature, your dog, your kid, your dentist…)
4. Where is the craziest place you’ve ever done yoga?
5. Describe your yoga journey in 3 words. (Yes, you may answer with ONLY three words, or you’ll be hearing from me!)
Send your story or answers and a photo of you in your favorite pose to SpoiledYogi@gmail.com, and I’ll feature you in a blog entry!
I can’t wait to read your stories!

Great idea SY
Of course I won't be entering cause these Spoiled Yogi contests are always rigged 🙂
I will say I was lucky enough hear of a new yoga teacher in my town, she only taught private lessons (the way her Sivananda mentor taught her). I was so impressed with the maturity of this 22 yr old and saw there was much I wanted to learn about the yoga philosphy. So began my quest

It may be rigged but I'm still doing it!

You Sillies! How can it be rigged? There's not even a prize! 🙂 Everyone wins!
Cynthia Louise says

SpoiledYogi says
Cynthia, The sooner the better! But there's no deadline. I'll probably post one a week until I run out. 🙂 I can't wait to read your story!

I feel that Yoga Journal magazine mislead me. I bought a "yoga for beginners" magazine of theirs that was $9.00. It said on the front cover and inside the magazine that I could get a free dvd from them (which is why I thought the magazine was so expensive.) I went to the site it mentioned, & well guess, what $3.50 for shipping & handling. That doesn't not seem very fair. Seems like a scam.
