| Attention all DYTA Members IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT Thank you all for your loyal
support for Discovery Yoga
Teachers' Alliance (DYTA). The gathering scheduled for Sunday, November 21, 2010 is cancelled due the upcoming Thanksgiving, Christmas, Chanukah and Winter Solace celebrations and holidays. Also, all DYTA gatherings are cancelled until further notice due to scheduling conflicts, please check the Discovery Yoga website during January, 2011 for information regarding scheduling dates for future DYTA gatherings. If you have any ideas or suggestions for future DYTA gatherings, or if you would like to volunteer to serve DYTA, please send your information to Discovery Yoga and include an e-mail address where you can be contacted. AND… don’t forget! There are still plenty of opportunities to meet and share with teacher friends, meet new teachers and make new contacts by attending and/or volunteering to teach Community Yoga on Sundays. Another way to stay connected is to schedule a “reunion” or “meet up” at Discovery Yoga with fellow teachers or groups of friends or students and create your own retreat by selecting and coordinating from the yoga classes, workshops and meditation that are offered continually at Discovery Yoga. Again thank you for your past support for DYTA and Best Wishes to you all for a wonderful holiday season, hope to see you all soon on the “mat”!

May 23, 2010
DYTA MEETING: Theme: so here’s the story……..now tell me your “Suggestions as to what our meetings will look like without Christopher Baxter”? 2:00 p.m. I am Kat Doucette, I facilitated the May 23 meeting, we began meeting on time and I welcomed everyone gathered at Discovery Yoga for the DYTA meeting.
SUMMARY of May 23, 2010 meeting: The meeting began with a review/discussion of the postures and assists addressed during the previous two meetings. There were some clarifications/questions/additions regarding assists performed at last two meetings. The group asked questions and everyone contributed any personal experiences and advice for postures, these observances and experiences were gratefully accepted by the group. Again it was suggested that anyone who had not studied the Anatomy of Yoga by Paul Grilley, should buy or borrow a copy and study the information, stressing the quote by Paul Grilley “Two people doing the same posture are not feeling the same things”. Discussion of group members on “when do we stop showing postures on the mat and begin assisting students verbally & physically (touch assisting/press point assisting), without injury or raising the anxiety level of the class by not being on the mat”? GROUP DISCUSSIONS: Modification of postures for special needs students verses assisting by letting individual student’s body guide them in postures as long as there is no risk of injury or accident. Take a class—get out of the “teacher mode” and into your own practice. Home practice verses yoga classes Suggested topics for next meetings, those suggestions include:
4:00 PM: Meeting ended with a grateful thank you to all who attended and participated in this DYTA meeting. Date for next meeting was confirmed according to the schedule: July 18, 2010 Theme for next meeting: How to save a class Respectfully submitted, K. Doucette The list of next steps was not discusses at the May 23 meeting, but I am including this list because there are still open actions with resolvment required on all entries. NEXT STEPS:
The following information was included in the Nov. 2009 meeting. Subsequent Meetings have also been coordinated with Discovery’s schedule:
