The best yoga classes I teach stem from truly listening to what I need at the moment. Tomorrow I am teaching a demo class for a studio on Solano in order to sub for Noga. It's gotten to be a bigger deal with changing her class time and day, but I am going in with my sense of practice. I know they want a flow class, so while the last class I did focused more on holding poses, I will return to what I am more familiar with - which is the graceful and mindful sequence of flowing from one asana to another. Since it's a demo I don't want to go crazy, so I will stick with my tried and true and maybe throw in some poses that I don't do very often. I am sure that I will really listen to my body and to the students in the room. Or at least I hope so.
I am still coughing a bit and am a bit low energy. When I got back from NY I jumped back into work, but got plenty of rest. My sore throat was gone, but a day later the cold started in earnest. Completely stuffed nose that moved back down into my throat. I certainly feel and sound better, but it's lingering a bit. I really should be asleep now, but I am dragging my feet and continue to play on the computer. I really need to be better about time management.
Anyway, as I play with a sequence for class tomorrow I continue to ponder my path and what's truly best for me. In the greater sense. There will be some big changes in the next few months and I am curious to know how things will fall out. Until then, how 'bout a little gratitude...
