[Sportsandrec] yoga class

[Rania]

One of my massage client's who is a yoga instructor will be teaching me yoga 
1 on 1. I can't wait to get started! I am sure I will ask questions to help 
him with making his teaching methids better so he can be more affective with 
teaching me. He is going to be doing a paper on what it is like to teach a 
blind person yoga because he is geting his 300 hour teacher training.
