Doing It for Money
I just taught my first yoga class for money. It was a private lesson for four people (and three cats) who are all brand-new to yoga, and I think went well. I tried to keep the poses basic and the pace comfortable. I was able to go with the class I’d planned, and although I ran over a few minutes, I don’t think anyone minded. A couple of my students are working with injuries, so I tried to be very conscientious about offering modifications and using props. When I asked how everyone felt at the end of class, the immediate answer was “stretched.” Which, when I think about it, is rather the point.
It’s almost like I’m a professional, or something.

I have to admit that I had some reservations before starting this, mostly due to the aforementioned injury. After the first session, most of my concerns are gone. I don’t feel like I “overdid” it, and I don’t ache too much more than I did prior to the session.
I’m looking forward to our next session… If I didn’t say it enough last night: THANK YOU!
