Backyard Yoga

One of the volunteers who lives nearby invited me to come and teach a yoga class at her house last week for a girl's group that she leads. It was hands-down the most Portuguese I've spoken at one time, and in front of ten people, I was definitely nervous. But it went really well and we all had a lot of fun. Mozambican women are quite possibly the strongest women I know so they took to it right away - even a headstand was a breeze after a lifetime of balancing buckets of water on their heads.

that's so cool. I bet you explained the poses beautifully - even in Portuguese.
