After my first week teaching

[ithisia]

I should be studying more dialogue, pouring over the words, saying them out-loud over and over. This is the only way to get it into my brain so that it comes out when I'm actively in front of a class, real time. Even if I don't, at this point it comes out anyway

"I'd prefer to pick up a microphone and teach yoga from my heart and become a teacher that people know they'll get what they need out of themselves when they take class."

You'll get there. This state, after one week of teaching, is not meant to be the "finish line" when it comes to what kind of a teacher you will be. I definitely prefer to take class from an honest teacher, self-perceived faults and all, as opposed to a fake Captain Awesome.

Thank you for sharing. All the best!

Thank you. I will keep in mind that I'm just beginning to teaching path, and that it's all ahead of me.

I am already looking forward to getting back up on the podium, so I take this as a good sign.

When I first started teaching dancing, I wanted to be one of those great teachers who had everything memorized and could demonstrate all the fancy moves. But I wasn't. And after several years, I'm still not. Now, seeing as I've stepped out of that limelight, I may never progress past my current abilities.

It's okay, though, cause I would still teach at the drop of a hat if asked. It's something I'm passionate about, and I love to share that joy with others. And as much as I hate embarrassing myself in front of others, I learned that any mistakes I make end up being a tiny blip in the overall experience, and if I don't focus on it, neither will anyone else.
