I met a lady who owns a yoga studio here called Fountain of Youth Yoga. Her name is Mithsouka (Meeth-SOO-kuh) and she is from Haiti. She is a fabulous yogi and is trained in Iyengar yoga, but is certainly from a different culture than I. She had a couple of non-Grenadian yoga teachers move back to their home countries, so she was desperate enough to hire me! :-) And I thought that was just splendid!
Her studio is gorgeous, but it’s in a pretty nature-ey area. That means rats. And mosquitoes.
But no worries, I’ve only seen one rat turning around on a rafter high up on the ceiling during supta baddha konasana, but no one else seemed to see it because the class continued on normally.
And you just accept that because you are dowsed in bug spray, you get some on your mat too. Serious showering is required after class.
I've met a lot of other students from the school through this studio. It has led me to lots of other great opportunities for teaching.
