Delayed blog as my macbook was broken... and my heart is sad. But anyway... I had the chance to borrow my brother's macbook.
Here we go. I just needed to blog this.
It was a sunday! a happy happy sunday. I was tasked to cover for Chi as she's out of town. I arrived at the studio an hour early. I was expecting 10+ number of students as it is a sunday.... Since it was early I read through my dialogue... prayed.. became still. power pose. I was nervous yes but i really had the feeling that that day was really for me. 8:50am students were coming in... I was so excited to teach at makati.. I felt different, I felt awesome, I felt happy about the environment... and seeing the students (Oh! there was this one student that was my hire at work! - How cool was that?!)
So i started on time... everything went well. I really felt I glued everything in between.. Of course i had my weaknesses too but this class was the best class from all of the classes I taught. Not to compare the crowd at the other studio but this was more welcoming, this crowd was like "please teach me more... i'd like to know better about the poses..." I liked the people around.. they make me feel "you're okay... you will be okay.." its like everyone was really listening to me. awesomeeeee! even if there were people doing auto pilots - they stop and do it again....
I was standing at the back, going around the room to feel the temperature... and I know my left and rights still sucks but this time i didnt messed up.. I was grounding myself that this will be okay, I can finish the class... I felt i was teaching with my heart, my soul was alive.....
Savasana came and i was like - wow that was fast.. and i didnt want to end the class. I just want to hug everybody for the energy they shared... I was roaming around to fix everyone's savasana.... and they were all relaxed.... I went out.. and 5 mins they are all still resting... How beautiful to see that all of them are restoring and taking full benefits of the asanas.
Class ended... and students came to me, waiting for me to finish talking to another student... and personally they went to me to say thank you... How wonderful to hear those words from your students... THANK YOU FOR CLASS. YOU WERE GREAT. ID LOVE TO TAKE AGAIN YOUR CLASS...... my heart was crying with joy... I was like. Thank you Lord... I hope this I can keep this up.
Grounding myself.. and accepting that there will be good days and rough days too...
I will be forever grateful to teach... I have a lot to learn, a lot to hear and a lot to see.
Namaste!
