Busy weekend

Wow, that was a busy weekend. Good busy though, meeting lots of friends, teaching and doing yoga.

On Sunday I taught my first flow class at Flow, it was their Sunday karma class. I notice I'm almost totally over nervousness about teaching - on the previous night I had some few second periods of anxiety but nothing major. I arrived on time, set up my mat, put on my music and just went with it. It was a mixed class: some teacher trainees (in the new program), some total newbies, some people with some experience. I followed loosely a primary series formula - it comes to me the easiest, and it's what I practice. But that was like the longest hour and 15 minutes of my life...

But I feel that it was an ok performance. Nicole and Robert were there taking the class and they both said that it was really good... to which I said "come on guys, that's so boring" and then I got some useful criticism. Mainly that my voice was too soft (it's a huge room, so I tried walking around to carry my voice) and that I kept confusing feet and hands. Yeah, half the time when I meant to say "step your right foot up" I said "step your right hand up"... I guess that'll come with time. But I was really proud for not messing up my lefts and rights - for some reason I never mess them up when teaching although in normal life I really can't tell them apart.

And for those following the baby news... well, there are no news. Baby is happy where it is and the doctor wants to wait. My time has been booked for Saturday, that's our new deadline for starting the birth in case he doesn't decide to come out before that - so I'm still pretty much on call.
