If you want to master a thing....

If you want to learn a thing, read that. If you want to know a thing, write that; if you want to master a thing, teach that.' ~ Yogi Bhajan We started our day out at the new Africa Yoga Project space, the Shine Center.  It's a beautiful space and there is so much room for teaching, training, and office work. I'm thrilled I'll be teaching class in the space tomorrow to over 100 people. We moved on to Kariobangi to an outreach in a social hall. We visited this outreach a year ago and it was amazing to see the growth in the class and the teachers since our last visit.

After the outreach we Sophia hosted us at her house. She prepared a yummy meal of potatoes, bananas, tomatoes, onions, and cilantro. We all cozied up into her space and ate, talked, and drank Stoneys. I am grateful that she graciously welcomed us into her home. 






In the afternoon we took a journey to Kambui School for the Deaf. Irene, our Rafiki, taught 108 deaf children yoga. I managed to wrangle the camera away from Jeff and captured some sweet moments of him with his new friends.  Jeff brought some donated soccer balls over so after yoga they played soccer and they had a blast. At one point a gaggle of young girls came running across the field with a goal to set up their own game. 

I'm constantly amazed by the dedication and heart of the Africa Yoga Project teachers and students. They are always thanking us for showing up and making this journey and I'm not sure they realize that we wouldn't be here without them. We are here because of the life changing work Africa Yoga Project engages in. We are here because they inspired us to be here and it is true to master a thing you must teach it. They teach with their full selves and open hearts.  Tomorrow I will teach them from my heart and I hope I move them in all the ways they have moved me, emotionally, physically, spiritually, and mentally.
