yoga

2020-06-22

I was teaching a yoga class (which I haven’t done irl since the Before Times) in a crowded room, to a bunch of people wearing normal yoga clothes, but big baggy colorful clothing. The room was not a yoga studio either, but might have been some kind of a retail store like how when they have free classes at Patagonia they move all the racks and clothing and merchanise out of the way to make floor space.

I was going through my normal class and felt a little bit rusty because I haven’t taught in a while, but I think I was doing fine. The students though were acting like they’d never done yoga before and were doing weird stuff on cues that should have landed. So I kept stopping and having people reset, and would try more explicit cues.

The whole time, Kate was there and was kind of fussing with me. She would come up to tell me that a cue didn’t work (I KNOW) or would tell me to watch one student whose form was off, and was carrying on in that fashion and being really distracting and not letting me teach the class myself.
