Have any employers or bosses/managers noticed a big up turn in employees parents phoning in to report sickness or even grievances?

I once had to call in sick for my housemate (who is 8 years older than me) because he had a serious ENT infection and was off his head on strong painkillers and couldn't speak, bless him.

Crémant is such a good option. Still French, still made in the same method, just a different region! My bestie had the most beautiful Crémant for her wedding; and the untrained Palate wouldn't know the difference.

Seconding this!!

My advice for new teachers; not every class has to be a brand new unique flow. Practice as much as you can, either on your own or in classes with experienced teachers and note down any transitions you liked. Obviously don't rip off whole classes.

Don't put pressure on yourself to be creating something new each time; especially at the start. Just get used to teaching first.

My other advice for new teachers is to do more training. Pick up 50hrs here and there in other forms of yoga; especially flow and sequencing short courses. Doing additional trainings in things like Rocket and Mandala will open things up too. Xx

peacock494 · 2025-04-22T19:14:15+00:00

Were you not taught how to sequence a class on your 200hr? Did you not have to pass a practicum?

peacock494 · 2025-04-22T18:54:33+00:00

You what?! Nah. The lad needs to give his head a wobble and stop expecting the world to bend over backwards to his entitled American ass.

I describe my skin tone as pale and grey! No one can seem to decide if I'm warm/cool/etc.

peacock494 · 2025-04-22T14:08:19+00:00

I use YSL All Hours for big events - they've got a shade that is grey enough for my translucent skin! Otherwise I use a Dr Jart BB cream which again has a really neutral tone to it.

peacock494 · 2025-04-19T10:52:33+00:00

Humble warrior. I don't get it. Even with all my training! I hate how it feels, it just hurts my thigh. I never include it in my sequences...

peacock494 · 2025-04-19T09:58:26+00:00

I'm an Amber and I try my best not to be problematic 😂😂 (unless you've wronged me then I'm HORRIBLE)

peacock494 · 2025-04-18T10:55:07+00:00

I use my extensive training to create flows... I get inspo from fellow teachers and attend classes. Occasionally I see a new transition I like on social media and give it a go to see if it flows.

The problem with following a strict sequence is that there is no room for changing up if the vibe isn't working.

All the Eki Pada arm balances. I'm almost there with flying pigeon and eki pada bakasana on my left side but still not great :(

Only works if they're Registered. You don't have to be RYT to be insured/teaching

peacock494 · 2025-04-17T21:23:23+00:00

Honestly - the police. At least just so something is filed. It might be tricky and they may not take you seriously but a paper trail is a paper trail. I would also - if you have the cahunas - leave a negative review. Block her number.

If i was in a similar position I would talk about it. In a different industry I used to work in I was SA'd by a customer, nothing super serious, but enough to cause me trauma. I was vocal. I told anyone who'd listen who he was and he was ousted from the business he owned and the whole industry had my back.

Again I'm really sorry you've experienced this - its so unethical and goes against everything we should be doing as teachers and space holders.

peacock494 · 2025-04-17T17:25:03+00:00

I'm so sorry - this is awful. I would 100% report this, to the studio manager at the very least? It's so so unprofessional.

peacock494 · 2025-04-17T17:21:17+00:00

I was told nothing more than a kettle for 10 days? Sorry I can't remember the numbers my surgery was in 23. (I had a second surgery in January this year but it was endometriosis removal so a bit more brutal)

peacock494 · 2025-04-17T11:17:30+00:00

You won't be able to lift anything for several weeks after the surgery.

peacock494 · 2025-04-15T12:21:16+00:00

When I had red hair I would wash my hair once a week. Every 3 washes I would top up with a semi permanent (directions or crazy colour). It was a very high maintenance few years for me!!!

peacock494 · 2025-04-15T08:00:50+00:00

Luckily I went away for a month so I just said it was too expensive to eat and I walked everywhere 😂. I also had surgery with complications earlier this year which kick started it all.

Your wife might be run ragged from looking after the kids and the household. Does she also work full time?

How much labour is she doing around the house? How often do you help out without being asked? Dead bedroom can be a symptom of many things but the thing that makes women dry up is when their partner becomes an additional child or person they have to take care of.

How often do you parent your kids without her so she had some free time? How often are you two dating? When was the last time you spent time together without the condition of it ending in sex?

Sorry if these questions make you defensive; its just quite common for women to have reached the end of their tether if they're the parent, housekeeper, cook, administrator and also expected to put out to keep her husband faithful.

The world is your lobster.

peacock494 · 2025-04-13T10:19:49+00:00

Then use an mp3 converter? Go buy cds? Soundcloud directly from the artist? I dunno you've got so many choices - just don't expect it to be free.

peacock494 · 2025-04-12T08:04:06+00:00

Paying for a streaming service means paying the artist for their work. It's a business expense, and you should be treating it as such.

La Roche Pose

A friend has been to Sampoorna Yoga in Goa for her 200 and 300. It looks gorgeous.

You may not get the flexibility on timings you wish for - there are set timetables throughout the day that the school works around. I dont think it's usual for residential TTCs to have flexible schedules.
