a bit of the nerves
My tummy is a bit fluttery recently. There is the opportunity I signed on for to sub in August for my Ashtanga teacher Mysore style. There is also the class this Friday that Amber and I are teaching to a group of our wonderful friends from work. We are going to be in our friends cozy backyard, surrounded by great women, and lots of positivity. So what am I afraid of…? I fear I will go blank. I fear that I won’t be able to bring them to the magical place that yoga can take you. I fear that I won’t be able to communicate effectively the feelings I feel when I am practicing. To me words can sometimes get in the way of that bigger feeling. Those bigger emotions.
A few years back, My love and I, when we were on a hike, decided that we would be silent for it. We experienced a totally different relationship with each other and with nature. It was the coolest experience..without words I felt like I could tune into feelings that normally I don’t pay attention to. I wasn’t distracted by chatter but, was more able to focus on the subtle energies that were going on.
On Friday, as I attmept to teach with Amber our first class, I will try to use minimal words to communicate what I need to from pose to pose. I will try to be comfortable in the silence and pay closer attention to the subtle energies flowing around the backyard. I hope to bring forth inner peace, guidance, and relaxation to better enable myself to share with my friends.
