Subbing again

I subbed a power yoga class again at my friend's health club. I decided that I wanted to try the 9-pose standing sequence from FitSugar. Despite practicing it at home several times, I blanked out on the order of the sequence. But, I improvised and, of course, the practitioners did not know. I also did all of the core poses that I wanted to have them do. It feels good to get into a groove of teaching and feel comfortable switching up a class impromptu.

The Seniors class in a few weeks will be more challenging. More breating techniques, more gentle poses. One would think slowing down a class might be easier. But after teaching 45-minute classes, and hour and a half will be interesting.
