Teaching the Yoga Class
by carl on Dec.29, 2008, under Yoga
Went to a yoga class the other day, and the instructor didn’t show up (rather, the substitute didn’t show up). This happened once last year, and the same thing occured: I ended up leading the class. I did notice that my Ashtanga training came in handy this time, because I went through the first sequence of the primary series (at least, what I could remember) and then went into some other, less connected poses, while trying to choose ones that my three fellow classmates could handle. A most valuable experience, since my teacher training starts in January. I did feel much more “professional” this time—thanks, Ken. Next, I need to work up a series of classes to give me a better idea on how to structure an hour of yoga.
