Dear Linda,
Yo Yo Ma playing Bach cello suites as Yoga is part of my vision for sharing the gift of Yoga in teaching ... where a Yoga teacher is a kind cello and everybody in course are violas, violins, celestas ...
I also find much creativity in breathing (pranayama) explorations ... and re a kind of poetry (Angela sees things and shares about this in such mind-expanding ways imagistic-ally:) and re ... https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/05/asian-bleeding-heart-warmth-in-yoga.html ... as well.
Envisioning-wise further, would you like to explore co-teaching a class or two in 5-10 years on a Saturday or Sunday morning in the Pittsburgh Center for the Arts at 5th and Shady in this area leading up to the stairway - https://www.google.com/maps/place/Pittsburgh+Center+For+The+Arts/@40.4523734,-79.920197,3a,106.9y,90t/data=!3m8!1e2!3m6!1shttp:%2F%2Fvp.cdn.cityvoterinc.com%2FGetImage.ashx%3Fimg%3D00%2F00%2F00%2F00%2F81%2F04%2F8104-301450.jpg%26ar%3Dmaintain!2e7!3e27!6s%2F%2Flh4.googleusercontent.com%2Fproxy%2FCTi9uxEEM-Ioq7WTIPgXWfZOorje3glDBmrE3FVANYoCqlvoxUhSg_UuwnAQxq1U81lxhTm-Ssh73OFEdFViSFWYu93DjR7HTaIEK3xkd8iIA8k6FqHU37TrHJLfWU1_NlfS3zgc76guKDhcXudwc9ergasI_w%3Dw203-h152-k-no!7i467!8i350!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0x1d8e58d234839b9f!8m2!3d40.4523734!4d-79.920197 ? :) ? (There's also a 3rd floor space in a Homewood Carnegie Library (7101 Hamilton Ave, Pittsburgh, PA 15208) which is lovely for teaching Yoga in) ... to become central to population centers in a distributed way around Pittsburgh, and not just in Squirrel Hill at S.H.Yoga. ... but having good props in a very beautiful space can facilitate the Yoga journey in amazing ways (e.g. a rolling floral suitcase with sticky mat, 3 blankets, bolster, 2 blocks, 2 belts could be cumbersome for many:) ...
am finding this interesting too - https://www.yogiapproved.com/yoga/increase-yoga-class-size/ ... (15-20 people per class, 2-3 times per week?:)
7 Effective Tips For Yoga Teachers to Build Your Class Size -
1. Talent and Experience
2. Maintain Palpable Passion
3. Promote, Promote, Promote
4. Student-Teacher Connection
5. Balance Dynamism and Accessibility
6. Use Your Words
7. Creative Sequencing
Angela and Victor do these really well as well. :) (Yoga teacher Mary Dunn with whom I wanted to study also maintained palpable passion in inspiring ways :)
Having taught Yoga before in Pittsburgh too, I could see teaching a course at the Pittsburgh Center for the Arts on Monday and Thursday mornings during the school year over decades ...
Namaste, Scott

Thanks! You have a very expansive mind... I do not have the interest in clicking on all these url's ... too much for me ... Please select what you think most #1 or #2 fits my limited-mind ... the rest ... ' forgetta-bout-it ' ha ha ...

Jaima Sunheart!
Thanks.
A) The Jane Goodall / Wounda the chimp video excerpt ... https://mobile.twitter.
Appreciating too Jane Goodall's
B) understanding of, affection for, & touch of too, this common chimp (which I explore here furthur ... http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/05/yellow-flax-or-pyoli-nepali-flower.html?m=0 - furthur, furthur ...).
Are you Jane Goodall and I Wounda (what's going on here - is Wounda 'presenting' (sexually, sexuality-wise)? need Jane Goodall to explain :)? And are Harbinites (me too) Wounda and I Jane Goodall but as anthropologist - now an actual-virtual ethnographer? An ethno-wiki-virtual-world-grapher ... c'est toi (it is you!) :) ...

Hi M,
Glad you sort of enjoyed the Greek Food Festival (at the St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Cathedral in in Pittsburgh - https://www.google.com/maps/place/St.+Nicholas+Greek+Orthodox+Cathedral/@40.4445082,-79.9499685,3a,75y,90t/data=!3m8!1e2!3m6!1sAF1QipNI9e-ad5I3ZzXVRerfjMwCEWfA8QqY73v78S5V!2e10!3e12!6shttps:%2F%2Flh5.googleusercontent.com%2Fp%2FAF1QipNI9e-ad5I3ZzXVRerfjMwCEWfA8QqY73v78S5V%3Dw203-h360-k-no!7i2988!8i5312!4m5!3m4!1s0x8834f18926690adb:0x627084b3dfd03c22!8m2!3d40.4445082!4d-79.9499685 - (except for the too loud music from the speaker on one side, and that is was rock music ... seems like this could have an opportunity for GREAT Greek music ... Hmmm ... wondering where highest quality augmented reality and virtual reality will play a role in making virtuosic live bouzouki players accessible in this Pgh Greek festival, for ex. - quality's the thing re AR / VR - Augmented Reality / Virtual Reality - which is opening worlds in my thinking). The Pittsburgh Folk Festival was very fun and diverse in the 1970s. And Pgh's diversity is interesting and rich. Glad too your cold is getting better.
Re inspiring best STEM CC-4 OpenCourseWare, there was a good WorldU live participatory Hangout on Air - http://youtu.be/VD-3cfkfl6A - this morning (https://youtube.com/user/
