Yoga Teacher Training (YTT) Update

I'm breaking my M/W/F post schedule. I mean it wasn't super set in stone anyways and sometimes I miss Fridays because I get busy during the school week.

Tomorrow evening and this up coming weekend is another one of my yoga teacher training weekends. I have only been to two yoga classes since school started and haven't done any at home practice either. I have sat down and taken a breather and worked on some pranayama though. So I'm afraid I'll be out of shape and super sore and not able to physically do the practice.

This weekend we will be breaking out into small groups and teaching a one hour Flow yoga class. The first time I've ever taught anything to any one! In one way the idea of teaching to teachers puts me to ease because they know what it is like to be in your position and so they have sympathy. But at the same time it is nerve-racking because they know what you are supposed to be doing and have more awareness for things that go wrong.

In my anxious brain I'm like a robot yogi "Must. Be. Perfect. Beep. Boop."

But in my logical brain I know that the world will not end if I make a mistake while practice teaching because it is a practice and my first time ever teaching. I know the other teachers in training are all my friends and kind and I wouldn't make fun of or think differently of them if they make a mistake.

So no yoga robots allowed! It's not thaaaaat strict though. If a yoga robot thought comes up, let it go and replace it with what you can do next to challenge it.
