Feeling so happy!! I had my final teaching exam today. I had to teach a 90 minute class of my own choice. I did a vinyasa flow that focused on balancing postures and maintaining the drishti. It was well received by both my students and the evaluators. I was commended on picking a great theme, doing a solid opening, and adjusting while simultaneously instructing. My evaluators asked if I had taught yoga before. I told them I used to be a teacher, and they said, "Ohhhhh, that explains it." Apparently I come across confident and speak well. (Ha! If they only knew how my heart races at the beginning of my teaching!)
I am so relieved, and so grateful to my mind and body for being able to be present, design a great class, and follow through. So, so happy.
For my next trick, taking the written final exam which is Thursday. Then, if all goes well, closing ceremony on Friday and hopping a flight to Phuket for some serious relaxation.




I'm catching up on your blog now. I am so happy you made it!
