I’ve always been kind of embarrassed about how much I need my yoga teachers to tell me what a great job I’m doing. It’s not a job after all, it’s yoga. It’s not that I don’t love to be challenged, corrected, adjusted, egged on, pushed, or really noticed in any form, that is to say coached. But I need the cheerleading too.

I love to hear those special words. Good. Great. Super duper! And it’s even better when they say your name. Really good Beth.

That is why I love having a regular studio. Everybody knows your name. Just like on Cheers, the TV show. Your name is your own personal cheer. Yay your name here!
