making Yoga DVDs seemed more doable.

In 2008, I was hired by Yavapai College (YC) as fulltime HPER faculty. And during my first year, I attended my first TeLS's Institute at YC. I took a workshop with YC’s video guy, Thatcher Bohrman. At the time, I didn’t know Thatcher was the video guy nor did I take the workshop because it was about videoing. Actually, I don't even think it was about videoing, but regardless, I took the workshop, and during the workshop, somehow, and I don’t remember exactly how, it became clear that this guy Thatcher was the guy to know if I wanted to create Yoga videos for a future online Yoga course for YC.

So after the workshop, I introduced myself to Thatcher, and we talked briefly about the possibility of creating Yoga videos for an online Yoga course at YC. I explained how I teach an online Yoga course in Virginia using commercial Yoga DVDs. I explained that I wanted the Yoga videos to be of me as the guy on the DVDs. And, in short, Thatcher agreed to make the videos. However, it took close to two years later to eventually have my dean, at the time, give me the OK to bring my online Yoga course to YC, and it was with one stipulation.  I could not have student’s purchase any material for the course, which included commercial Yoga DVDs, and this one stipulation forced me to be the guy on the DVDs of dotcomYOGA.
