Again class last night (both of them) were light on attendees. The first class was rather fun because Susan knows what to do so I just called out asana and then did them with her. So it was a nice practice as well as teaching session for me. I was pretty lethargic at the beginning of class, it was hot outside and for some reason it kicked in my napping genes. Didn't nap tho, kicked up the practice to a heat generating moderately sweaty pace.

Second class at the gym: There is a workout class before mine and there were 4 in there. Both me and the other teacher tried to get the 4 women to go to my class but none of them bit. All four of them were not fitness types and all 4 had worked pretty hard (given the way they looked anyway) in the previous class. As they were leaving a young girl came into the room asking for the yoga.

Turns out she's 13, had done gymnastics but never yoga. She was flexible. Pretty strong as well. She could easily do tolasna and lolasana. I began with teaching her Sun Salutation A and she found Chaturanga really difficult. The normal difficulties of keeping elbows in and not dropping the pelvis. That class was fun for me too, she was always willing, never complained and was that funny mixture of flexible/not flexible, strong and weak. She even laid in Shavasana with pretty good relaxation. I wasn't expecting such ease from her...only because she was 13 and in a room with a stranger.

I saw her bro and her dad outside at the front desk. Her dad told me she'd told him that yoga was much harder than she thought it would be. That you had to be really strong and she worked hard. I told him, yes, it's more difficult than people think, I do alot of strength poses as well as working on flexibility.

Other than classes yesterday I didn't do my own practice. Sigh.
