<\/a><\/p>\nMissing my super early morning ritual of quiet reflection to prepare for a class, affects the class outcome – obviously. Teachers take sabbaticals because unless the class is continually progressive, it can get boring – less so for the students as they are embodying the experience, the sensation – but not the teachers -and so they themselves need to refresh. After a blank period and getting over the holiday vacation haze, I felt I was on auto-pilot – and one student reminded me how much she liked what I “used to do”. It’s true I had not incorporated more of what I know and stuck with what’s simply comfortable. Maybe I got a little complacent…<\/p>\n
It will be different next week – why? Because I have now set an intention. Pressed the “refresh” button for the new year:) Students hold the mirror. Not the studio walls (and this place, there’s no escaping it with 3 out of 4 sides covered …:). Thank you for reminding me what it is about my class that keeps you coming, N – that expectation. I had forgotten it momentarily. I will share more and hold back less. It’s just a practice. We are not trying to prove anything.<\/p>\n
practice is about repetition – repeating over and over – I don’t get bored either. New ideas and discoveries. New Year … renewed resolve … repetition is not boring. unimaginative mind is.<\/p>\n
