Monday's class went well -- small group, but fun to teach. I was able to use my plan, theme, heart quality as I hoped. YogaHour yesterday was a larger group (8), and fun to teach as well. 3 of those students are golfers -- not that I want to replace their passion for golf, but I was pleased to hear that they chose yoga over golf yesterday (45 degrees & golf do not happy golfers make).
The interesting thing for me about classes this week -- I realize that after a week with John Friend, I am using phrases, language, bits of intonation very similar to his. That's not a bad thing; my teaching can always use a bit more 'umph'. And, I feel good doing it and think the students are responding. Nothing wrong with that.
What I don't want to happen is to 'copy' his style, to stop working on my own voice because his works so well. I doubt that will happen -- but, I do need to be watchful.
Each day since returning, I've awakened to sore muscles (especially the calves and shins). I think that's related to walking hills on Saturday and Sunday. Today, no muscle soreness. Hoo-Ray!
Today is Gentle Yoga, followed by the Jail. Another short post -- running a bit late and the studio needs vacuuming.
Enjoy Wednesday,
