Teaching going well...... need more classes

November 7, 2007

Ok so my teaching seems to be going from strength to strength, I seem to have (and hope to have) hit a plateau of good classes. However I only have a handful of classes so the need for more is omnipresent through out my painting days. Where off to Scotland in a few weeks so nothing new career wise is going to happen or be on the horizon till January, which is kind of a blessing ad a curse all at once.
Yeah the Yoga teaching really seems to have improved, I seem to have had a revelation since going on our trip to the Pocono mountains. Staying in a Yoga retreat (of sorts) eating organic food and drinking well water seems to have had a clarifying effect on all things teaching. It’s not that I learned anything new about myself or my teaching style, more I was reminded of what I was taught in the first place. For some reason I find the cold darker days 100x more inspirational and introspective, that I feel my creative side grows and is nurtured by both the changing of the season and the colours that are presented to me on a daily basis. This carries through to the Yoga teaching as I meet more people and gain more experience I seem to grow both as a teacher and as a student, willing to learn within the class room while teaching. Although I new this, was taught this by my amazing teachers, it seems to have been something that has been lost from my teachings in the summer and spring months. It really is amazing how I have come so far with both my style and confidence in the class room, but basically what I’m saying is I finally feel that what I’m doing, what I’m teaching, what I’m learning is finally going in the right direction. I just need some more classes (4 to be precise) and my bank balance will feel the same way.
