This week marks the last weekend of yoga teacher training and today was the first of two assessment days. Starting last night I got very nervous and my anxiety just increased this morning. I had a good idea for a class, but since I really wanted to stay in the moment, I never went through it or timed anything. So my class on asana from the chakras was just okay. To give myself some credit, it was certainly creative and I'm guessing different from everyone else's. However, I ran out of time the poses I chose did not allow for much detailed instruction. I did teach for the bodies in the room, but I took on too much. In my discussion with Shy afterwards, we decided that it was a good learning experience. And better yet, the class did learn new things.
The best thing, however is that when I went into teaching, I was not nervous at all. I was able to just be open and share. There were definitely some clunky parts, but it's a good start. I have truly learned to build upon my strengths and teach a good class. My asanas are also stronger. It would be nice to say that I will be better about taking on a daily practice, but I cannot guarantee that. I want to keep my energy of "no judgement" up as I aim to do what feels good and helps my body and mind.
I took a week off from working on Funny Bone, so I need to jump back into that. Especially since I saw the video from my thesis and would like to work on a few elements. I also got notification that I did not get the CA$H grant, so I must find some other funding sources.
No rest for the weary, funny yogi!
