Big news here.. On Sunday Diane sent out a note announcing to all her yoga friends that she would stop teaching Yoga.. at least for a while … as of today !. It’s a big decision.. and a fun one. We decided together that teaching 5 classes a week from our studio at home is one of the things that’s holding us back from a few things we want to do together .. including traveling more… and getting some major things done in the house. Diane’s been teaching yoga for about 20 years.. and she’s so excited about taking a break .. Diane is still going to be practicing yoga.. (she’s going to bikram almost every day).. and will do some pop up classes and soup nights which she’ll announce on her email list..
It’s our first small step towards retirement.. and it feels really good.:-)

its a cool new phase of life for us.. and I could not be more excited about it
