2014 My year in posts, an insane year

M. quit her job last Christmas with the intention of us moving back to Japan, her to go ahead with me to follow later.

I presented a workshops in Valencia in January, as well as a five day retreat there over Easter. I also presented workshops in Ulm, Germany, at Stonemonkey in Leamington Spa and three classes at the Yoga Rainbow Festival in Turkey.
After leaving my house in the UK in June I went to practice at Kristina Karitinou's shala in Rethymno, Crete, staying for two months and attending Manju's TT again for the second year running. I and also taught a Vinyasa Krama class in Rethymno once a week as well as evening workshops/Intros to VK in Chania and Heraklion.
Before flying off to Japan in September I taught a workshop at Stillpoint Yoga London then spent two months in Japan before popping back to Europe to sort out visas and present workshops at Indabayoga, London, a follow up workshop at Stonemonkey and two weekend workshops in Moscow and Saint Petersburg.
I'm now back in Japan and expect to start teaching English for my old company sometime in the New year.

Pictures from all the workshops are on the Workshop page at the top of the blog, here's the link

There's been talk of my presenting workshops in USA, Germany, Spain, Greece and Japan next year, these are are yet to be confirmed.

Below are some of the posts that just caught my eye scanning through my archive list over on the right of the blog, posts I'm relatively pleased with, I can't believe I still managed to post this often with all the running around this year.

Thank you for visiting the blog, for commenting, for all the 'shares' of posts, links and comments on fb and especially to everyone who gave up their weekends and perhaps their regular practice to attend the workshops, it's been such a privilege to have the opportunity to share this practice.

The Small Print
I've noticed some seem to be taking this blog more seriously recently (myself included at times perhaps) but this is still just a blog. I'm not an historian, I don't have the training or skill set and although I refer to my exploration of Krishnamacharya's early Yoga Makaranda (1934) practice as Archeology sometimes, it's not, it's really not, this all just continues to be reflection on my own personal practice and perhaps enough is enough. 

Stats won't allow me to show just for the year, so here's all time.
