I forgot to add this before (it was during my recent .com sabbatical) but I wanted to add the information as it involved a painting being sold. The event is entitled 'Tulips and Pansies and is hosted by my roommate Beth-ann as part of a fund raising event for the non-profit she works for, Village Care. Although I didn't attend the event (teaching at the time) I hear all was well and money was raised and a painting was sold.

moraywatson.com is back online and back in action. Yep I have ditched the charges, reclaimed the domain and hopped into bed with Google. I would also highly recommend it. I discovered that the web services I previously payed for were actually free and (more efficient) from other sources.
Firstly to explain the purpose of the site, I am not here to make money (cliche I know but it's true). I am here to present the paintings that I paint and the Yoga that I teach as a matter of interest. (hence the need for a free site) Self promotion has never been my strong point and (now I'm old enough) I can safely say it never will be.
Secondly, the site is a blog (cunningly disguised as a website) most of my information will be presented via the blog feed. The reason for the blog approach is to make the transfer of information as approachable/twittery/facebookery/moderny as possible.
Thirdly, this site will be for both Yoga and art. Please don't be disappointed if I spend more time talking about one subject rather than the other.
Finally, I have not and I never have been the late TV actor known as Moray Watson, my apologies if that's who you are looking for. You may want to check out IMDB for more information on this fine actor.

after breaking in the new(ish) website with an art related blog, it’s now time for a Yoga one.
So what have I been up, well I have actually been really busy, today is the second day off after a 26 day long stint of subs-private classes and my regulars. How did it go?, well, interesting really, when you have so little time to process every single class (which I tend to like to do and over analyse) while at the same time process my own practice....... intense is a good word for it. I think I spent most of the time high on adrenaline and the rest of the time sitting in a dark corner nursing my hay-fever, twitching only slightly to check my emails.
I usually like to add something to each class from my own practice however by the end of the stint every class/personal practice seemed to meld into one, resulting in a hodgepodge of ideas and Asana. Which can be fun but not always coherent or practical.
What was interesting though is the thought of Yoga as a ‘career’ seemed to fly straight out of the window and the experience of ‘sharing’ really started to ring true, in a way that I haven’t experienced before. The separation of student/teacher blurs becoming an even more rewarding experience. I think I became so used to being in the studios that any kind of apprehension became a waste of time and energy. However at the same time I mixed up classes and dates, missed trains, 2 flat tires and was a little for a class. AND had no energy to paint.
I have to ask what can I learn from this that isn't painfully obvious...
