Teaching

I never intended to teach. I was burned out a bit on teaching. I'd taught throughout my life on a weekly or daily basis with piano students, elementary students, church classes, and constantly with homeschool. I was ready for a break. I was ready for something that was just for me.

After my yoga teacher training, my personal yoga practice became what I knew my yoga experience could be. It was enlightening, lifting, relieving, invigorating, smooth, flowing, meditative. My container became enlarged, and yet, I could not hold all the 'incredible-ness' I was so gratefully receiving. It was time to give and I needed a channel into which I could pour.

I had never considered teaching in a gym. The yoga I cultivated was very authentic and I would not find it viable to teach piyo or the mere biproduct of yoga--the incredible muscle development. I needed a venue which would allow me to be true to the yoga that made my life so rich.

Thanks to Tonglen Meditations, I have been able to develop an incredible love for my fellow man, especially my neighbors and city members. So the opening of yoga classes at the YMCA has been the perfect space. I am so grateful to give to the Y as they provided our family with a pass while we experienced military deployment. I am so grateful to give to my fellow city members as my love and appreciation for them is great. I am so grateful for the yoga studio at the Y as it is a great floor that won't hurt my knees and the classes were already there and waiting for me.

It is a graceful experience and I love it!

Namaste.
