First Singers Class

So I taught an hour long class yesterday on the INSEAD campus to two people. Basically I used an outline from one of Kira's Stiff White Guy class and combined it with some random bits and pieces. Kira, thank god for your huge TT manual that I have lugged across the world with me. Overall, it was a good class. My two peeps loved it--in fact, we're doing another one this afternoon. Holding the space was a little hard, as we were in a tiny room on campus where students come for prayer or relaxation. During savasasana, a Muslim man came in for afternoon prayer. It was kind of nice to share that space with him, but I was giving little head rubs and it got a little cramped.
Here's the deal:
sit
sitting side stretch both sides
sitting forward fold
down dog
plank
side plank stretch both sides with knees down

hop/step to rag doll/roll up to tadasana

extended side angle

prasaritta or hammock

1/4 sun salutation
forward fold to malasana
navasana

Down Dog is definitely getting special treatment here. Also, I'm jealous. I feel like, if I were in Singapore right now, I'd totally be a yoga person. Count me in for your next class.
