So what have I been up to? I have taught a few Karma classes at my home studio. They are generally small and the students are often beginners. The last class I taught had one student who had a number of different injuries. I soon realized that some of the poses I had planned were contraindicated for the type of injuries she was dealing with. This is where it was a blessing to have only one student. I had to amend my poses on the fly so to speak, and in turn she learn how to do a much better Downward Dog. Together we were able to focus on some poses that she could very well do without being in pain which I think boosted the confidence level for both of us! I have also taught a community class at the local Lulu Lemon and have another planned this coming week-end.
I also started my own class in my buildings game room with a couple of friends. In just a few moments I will be leading my second class with them and I have a couple of other friends who plan to join us in the fall when their calendars are free.
In August the Whistler Wanderlust Yoga Festival is happening and I will be volunteering one day and enjoying some of the classes the next. Right after that I leave for a vacation to Europe with some friends to do some biking in France, where after a day of riding we will do yoga class by our rental home's pool- lead by moi!
I have applied to be a substitute teacher at one of the recreation centers. Although I did not hear back , I will keep applying. I know it is not easy to break in to have a regular class, but I know if I can take advantage of any opportunity that presents itself, I know I will get where I want to go- one baby step at a time.
Gotta go, I have students waiting
