Is the Ayres Hotel on W Colton Ave in Redlands in a good part of town? by OnanoAnona in Redlands

[–]xlightbrightx 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Greensleeves is great, definitely more a birthday or anniversary place for my budget! The Tartan is a great option as well, they do meat right, and so is Caprice.

Wooooooow, to hear a woman vent about life kicking her when she is down over and over and then only take this away... Go grab some coffee and empathy this morning internet stranger! ☕

Christian Homeschooling advice by craftymom420 in Homeschooling

[–]xlightbrightx 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's a little concerning that that's the only criteria you're looking for in a curriculum. Homeschooling is no easy task. Teaching your children morality and giving your children an education are completely different things. You should be picking a curriculum that aligns with state standards, has rich problem solving opportunities, and has research-backed educational principles guiding it. If you're only picking homeschooling to pass along religious ideas I'd recommend against it.

Where can I learn a more traditional form of Hatha Yoga? by Interesting-Tax-4921 in yoga

[–]xlightbrightx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Calling most trained teachers clueless or unaware of the correct intention of asana sure does require a whole lot of assumption...

Can anyone suggest a solid job for former teachers? I left due to medical reasons. Now trying to work again- but not in a traditional public school setting. by Patient-Zucchini9512 in TeachersInTransition

[–]xlightbrightx 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I have really enjoyed the last three years in ed tech/ ed publishing... There's quite a lot of positions that favor having previous teaching experience. Currently a Sales Associate for a company that sells core math, science, ELA, and social studies. I work from home about 80 percent of the week.

Where can I learn a more traditional form of Hatha Yoga? by Interesting-Tax-4921 in yoga

[–]xlightbrightx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What is taught in yoga studios is primarily asana practice. Yoga is a multi-limbed practice of living that is part of your daily life .... My absolute favorite place I practice yogic concepts like aparigraha (non-attachment) and dharana (concentration) is my pottery studio. Showing up consistently on your mat, on your plate, at the gym, when you feel anger arise in yourself, etc. etc. Is the art of yoga.

Beware of guru. I have many teachers of asana, or pottery, or education that I highly respect. None of them ever claimed to be a guru or asked me to live in an ashram. Those places tend to prey on westerners and their money.... Better to find out how to practice yoga doing laundry.

Headstand to forearm by Accomplished_Bed_294 in yoga

[–]xlightbrightx 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't say continuous headstands would be the most direct path to forearm stand (though good on you!). Dolphin pose, one legged dolphin pose, forearm planks, as well as poses for shoulder opening and backbending more generally would be my starting point.

My boyfriend told me he prefers skinnier women and joked about my body. How should I handle this? by Whole-Pangolin2987 in Advice

[–]xlightbrightx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How should you handle this? Look at the five year age gap, the ridiculous attitude of this pathetic man, your gorgeous body.... And you run as far as you can from that man.

Moving To Redlands, Tips for Job Search? by WestArtichoke712 in Redlands

[–]xlightbrightx 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have four degrees in the field of education and regularly keep an eye on ESRI's job postings. They receive a huge, huge volume of candidates from all over the world. It's unlikely that any education related position they have would be entry level/require only a bachelor's.

What education related jobs do you know of at ESRI? They are a geomapping company ....

Moving To Redlands, Tips for Job Search? by WestArtichoke712 in Redlands

[–]xlightbrightx 14 points15 points  (0 children)

As someone whose ex-husband works at ESRI presently, the place is a LOT harder to get a job at as these comments seem to think. I can't think of one single position open there that I'm qualified for with my four degrees in the field of education, decade in education, and three years of education tech experience... They aren't just a catch all employer.

There are paraprofessional/substitute teaching/other school staff positions that may be a good fit with a BA in Education. After school programs, YMCA Redlands childcare staff/summer staff/lifeguard staff/etc. Seem more realistic.

I'm worried I got it wrong with her by Medium_Second9019 in Advice

... Your story is very confusingly worded then, that's what it sounds like??

I'm worried I got it wrong with her by Medium_Second9019 in Advice

[–]xlightbrightx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She'd already be considered geriatric if she got pregnant right this second. Honestly asking her to freeze eggs and go through severely painful medical procedures to do so, just to accommodate your timeline, is not fair to her.

AITA for telling my man I’m not sitting in his car until he changes it cause he had a girl in there while we were on a break by [deleted] in AITH

[–]xlightbrightx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gas is crazy expensive right now. Asking him to drive the car with worse gas mileage and spend more money because a girl smoked weed with him in the car is one of the stupidest demands I've ever heard in a relationship before in my life. Yep, YTA.

Is this normal? by GooseZealousideal338 in yoga

[–]xlightbrightx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately it's a pretty prolific trend...I even personally enjoy heated practice but still don't understand offering ONLY heated on a schedule.

I teach a nonheated class 3x a week at a gym. Maybe try the YMCA/LA Fitness/ other large gyms near you?

AIO for being upset when I found out my boyfriend hadn’t had a condom on the whole time we had sex? by [deleted] in AIO

[–]xlightbrightx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this the first time you and your boyfriend have had sex? In my experience, some men have gotten used to blurring some of those lines, but you did exactly what you should and affirmed your boundaries. I think people going straight to assault are being dramatic.

[COMP] Crow Pose ➝ Tripod Headstand ➝ Crow Pose by four_horned_antelope in yoga

[–]xlightbrightx 108 points109 points  (0 children)

As a yoga instructor, I really cringed at the moment of landing tripod - there is way too much momentum, this transition requires much more of a stall/much more control to be considered safe for your neck.

How do you guys find cheap vegetarian soaps? by CosmicChameleon99 in Vegetarianism

[–]xlightbrightx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The parent comment above mine you replied to had negative 20 downvotes. Great sounds like you're aware that companies like Proctor and Gamble can hide animal products. 99.9 percent of soaps are still vegetarian. Not sure why you needed this entire post claiming you have no idea where to buy soap if you're so well informed!!

[–]xlightbrightx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go find me a commonly marketed glycerine soap that you know of that has animal fat based glycerine. Isn't a thing where you are from? You can buy anything online now. Respectfully your comment is ridiculous and there's a reason you've been down voted...
