Thursday night is beginners class. It's been the most pleasant surprise...one month I was ready to throw in the towel and 3 months later, it's thriving. I don't think it has much to do with me, but timing and love. I love teaching it, but I love seeing these beginning students 'doing' which is 'being' yoga for an hour. For some it's a natural flow of who they are, for others--it's physically challenging...which is why I feel guilty.
What was I thinking? Really...I struggle to keep the class at a beginners level, with some challenge thrown in to help others, but tonight I did this flow that I've done with the intermediate classes this week. It was a struggle for them--so needless to say it was for the beginners too.
Some where very happy to be challenged, others were looking at me like I had lost my mind...but at the end of class they seemed very happy to have tried something new. So, I guess it's ok--but next week I will be more realistic. I don't know if ego got in the way or it was calling me to have them explore space..but I'm feeling kinda guilty. It's all good...but next week, I'll listen better.
