Yoga Journal Conference SF - this weekend!

What am I doing blogging right now? I need to go to bed! It's 9:15pm and I'm teaching my first 6am class at Amgen in Fremont tomorrow morning, which means I need to get up well *before* the crack of dawn... Truth is, I'm blogging because I just love you guys so much (awwww) and I just wanna give you something yoga-bloggy to read.

I'm very excited about this weekend. The YJ conference starts tomorrow night and I would love love love love love to meet up with any of my beautiful, wonderful readers/friends there. I'm going to try to blog about the event each day, but we'll see what my energy level is like by the time I get home! Here's my schedule - maybe it matches yours??? If you're headed to the conference and would like to meet up, drop me an email!

Sooo, that's where I'll be. If I'm feeling super-inspired (and awake!) I'd love to attend the 7am meditations, but it's unlikely they'll happen. But we'll see. Anything goes. Tomorrow starts full force for the next three days: Amgen at 6am, my private at 8:30am, HYP at noon, and then the conference for 3 days. Is it cosmically hilarious to anyone else that it's a full moon on Tuesday? My entire life is fill, fill, fill until then! By Tuesday, I'll be as full as Luna herself! Then Wednesday, I'll get to exhale, release, ... ahh, and a yin workshop on Saturday, pure bliss.
