welcome
Last night’s TNT class gave me an opportunity to see some old faces and to meet some new students! I LOVE THIS! I am so jazzed today, from the act of having been able to share some of the groovy magic that is yoga in a shared practice. It is still my favorite thing in the world. Thanks, for joining us guys! Things are happening for our group already. “Woo-hoo”, I say! Have a magnolia!!
My newcomers are special because they were not only new to me, but they were new to yoga as well. When students come to our practice who have never, ever “gone to the mat” before, I get so excited that I can hardly contain my giddiness. I love teaching first time students! As more and more Americans take to yoga, there are greater and greater chances that we teachers will encounter students for whom the practice of yoga is completely new—and perhaps also, completely alien. A lot of the time, it is their curiosity that finally leads them to us, and there is also perhaps some apprehension they have had to overcome in order to actually show up, pick a spot on the floor, and roll out that mat for the first time. To some, yoga seems really intimidating. (Teachers can forget this…) Yoga teachers can also seem really intimidating. (Teachers may not even realize this…)
