10am – Ky
Finally got to take Ky’s class! Really cool! The circle is now finally complete. I’ve taken both Melissa and Ky’s classes. Ya for us SD2010! Class was good I felt pretty strong but it wasn’t too hot so it was easy to push myself.
12pm – Advanced
Good class. Lotus is coming along; my left hip is starting to open up more. I went further than I’ve ever gone in full camel. I was really psyched about that and my backward bending in general is getting better.
3pm
The microphone didn’t work which meant I had to project my voice. That definitely takes much more energy! I thought class was pretty good although my pacing was a bit off in places. One thing that bothered me is what to do when other teachers do weird shit in your class. On one hand I want to treat them just like any other student and as such if a student was doing something weird I would call them on it. I give teachers the benefit of the doubt but what do you do when you notice patterns? It’s a slippery slope. What is interesting is that I was looking at it like I’m at fault. I’m a bad teacher and that I must be doing something wrong to make the person do the weird thing. After thinking about that I realize its bullshit it is their practice and as a teacher they KNOW better. An experienced teacher once said that teachers can be some of the worst students. I don’t know if that is true or not but I can see how one would come to that conclusion.
I’m glad that I am a good student. I have plenty of room for improvement but I do my best everyday. Maybe I need to remember that others are doing their best too…
