It’s snowing! I’m in Wolseley Saskatchewan staying at the Banbury House Inn, a 105 year old mansion with quant old rooms. Did a quick yoga on arrival to stretch out my stiff and cranky driving body. Making quick progress toward Winnipeg where I have two school presentation on Monday followed by a poster signing at Bikes and Beyond at 4pm.
Stayed with a friend last night in Eastend Saskatchewan. He is a multi talented dude, trials is one of them, and another one of his passions is building and playing the didgeridoo. I’m traveling with one that he made, and so we got to have a little jam last night…well at least he jammed and I made a bunch of disconnected noises that would scare a dog away (as one person on FB commented). I did have fun and learn a few things though! Many thanks Kevin!!
For any yogi’s, coincidentally, this uber small town, of like of a few hundred people, is the home of Dr. Georg Feuerstein; and my buddy Kevin is taking yoga classes with his wife Brenda. So cool!! Both are brilliant brilliant human beings as far as I can tell. Here’s a quote by them.
“Tread lightly on this Earth.
Be kind to all creatures.
Live simply.
Consume less.
Avoid air travel.
Find alternatives to car travel.
Delight in a vegetarian diet.
Grow your own food if possible.
Use water sparingly.
Lobby for a saner, healthier world.”
My road trip candy is dried mango. I bought a $45 bag of it. It is so sweet and yummy…to bad I made a mistake and it is instead papaya, lame.
Did I mention it’s snowing and is very very flat here.
Still on the yoga thing….I’m teaching yoga in Fredericton next week. Here’s a blurb from the studio owner Stephanie:
As you may remember, I mentioned earlier this winter that we were having a guest Yoga teacher from BC arrive in Fredericton to perform a Bike Stunt show at Officer Square, and it just happens to be next weekend! Ryan Leech will be landing with all his tricks in Fredericton for May 8th, to perform a crazy wild stunt show that simply must be seen on Saturday, May 8th at 4pm in Officer Square, free for all to come and enjoy! Then, once he’s rested up, Ryan will be leading us through a Vinyasa Yoga class on Sunday, May 9th from 6:00-7:30pm here at the Satori studio. As you know, space is limited, so sign up as soon as possible to join in on this one time opportunity! Ryan doesn’t come to town very often, but hopefully Satori and Savages Bicycle Shop can be a home away from home for him when he does make it! To sign up for Ryan’s class, email me at enlighten.satori@gmail.com
Seeya’ll!

Hi! We really enjoyed your presentation at Forest Gen to-day. What really impressed our grade one class is the fact that you do yoga!! We do yoga in our class every morning and the class thought that was very cool that you do it too…especially one of our students, Sahaj, who comes from India and practices yoga with us. Thanx very much for coming..Johanne
So glad to hear that my mention of yoga stuck with some of your students, so cool!!
Dear Ryan Leech,
I wanted to thank you for coming to Forest Glen School to talk to our students. I am a grade one teacher and you made such an impact on my students. While a video was playing, a few of my students saw you doing yoga. We do yoga every morning in our class and the kids were over joyed to see you doing the same thing. Its all they could talk about this morning. Thank you for your visit and we hope to see you again.

So happy to have the feedback, thanks for writing Alexandra! Wishing you and your students all the best from Cape Breton…
