Speaking of the ritual of circling your calender…
I will be subbing for my lovely yogini friend Nancy I admire so much, next Tuesday morning at Bay Club, Redwood Shores – Come join me for Morning Yoga Level 2/3 practice – I love Nancy – when I asked her what kind of class should it look like, she replied – whatever you want – just make it at least level 2-ish. Her words are so comforting – “You teach whatever you’d like… the students are all very nice and I know they will like you.” When someone entrusts you a class like that you are compelled to just rise to the occasion. Thank you Nancy for your vote of confidence – your trust and yes, I will be sure to take good care of the students ! I will dutifully comply to your words and produce a level 2-3-ish class:)
Oh, by the way,
This level 2/3 thing – although I assume I do not have to rehash down-dog how to’s, wondering what does it mean? More I delve into yoga, more I feel like I just began – Humbled, I am forever a beginner, basic student… “Zen Mind; Beginner’s Mind” to quote Suzuki Roshi’s Classic book. Putting ego aside and forever a beginner, I can be found taking a basic class or just breathing in restful Child Pose in advance class when I am not teaching… so really, it’s yoga for everyone I hope to teach. Anyway, that’s my intention:)
