Hi girls,
The internet hasn't been working for a while now, and I was so happy to see that some of you had posted.. It's sounds silly but I love hearing what you all have to say, it makes me feel like we're hanging out on the floor at the sports club! Things have been a bit hectic with work and life... For some reason the last few weeks have been tough as far as being married goes.. though I'm happy to report that things are well, and we will be celebrating our one year wedding anniversary on the 28th. As far as yoga goes, I've been slacking.. hard core. But I do have some sort of opportunity on the horizon. A local gym (owned by my friend's sister) has basically given me a chance to sort of prove myself. They teach Raffa? yoga..and the owner wanted me to take all of the yoga classes that they offer, and then co-teach with one of the instructors.- If they like me then I can get on the schedual in September.. Mind you they are giving me a free membership, and they are so nice- It seems like a great thing in theory.. until I went to the first class.. I don't know what it is about me and classes, but I don't think this is just me being picky.. What do you think:
1. The yoga room was almost completely dark, except for a small lamp in the corner of the room... Now I don't know about you, but doing yoga in the dark?!?!
2. The room was so fricken hot!! There wasn't even that many people in there, and I was so gross when I left- damn hot yoga taking over the world!!
3. The sequence made no sense at all.. I mean I know that not all teachers will be like Natasha sadly, but it's "power yoga" and the teacher had us going into Vashistasana on one side then the other with the breath.. then we did a bunch of arm balances... which didn't make sense.. Umm not a fan by the way..- is that normal in a "power yoga class"
4. The intructor did yoga with us which was cool, but no talk about alignment at all- She wouldn't have been able to see us anyway!!!
Now i'm definately not saying that I know a whole lot about yoga.. but I do know some, and i just didn't like it.. to me the yoga works method just makes sense... I don't know.. I just don't want to be to critical and then miss out on the teaching experience down the line.. Now I did talk to the owner, and it seems as though she is going to expect me to teach in this style to some extent.. So I don't know what i'm going to do, and for right now, I'm just going to try and have an open mind... I know that i'm not going to teach here forever ( If I end up teaching here at all)..
I just have to say that being in a class is just not fun without all of you.. I miss you guys a lot, and it sucks..
