10am Aaron
Class went pretty well. Overall I felt good and was able to not loose my breath throughout the class. While I was practicing on Saturday I realized something: The class that i was practicing was mine. It was up to me to do my best. I know it sounds obvious but it was a really huge realization for me as a student but most important as a teacher. It isn’t about the students doing what I’m saying just that they try their best if they want to. It isn’t up to me to make them it is their choice. As the teacher I have to do my best to create an environment that the students can thrive in but I don’t have to take responsibility for their class-it’s up to them.
That being said as a student I realized that it’s vitally important to take care of yourself during class. Whatever that means for you on whatever day just make sure you are taking care of yourself.

Man I was really down on myself during the class. My hip was feeling OK but then we started doing lotus and whatnot and it started hurting again. I’m starting to think I need to just stop aggravating the injury. Who knows? Anyway I’m sick of sucking but how they hell am I going to get better if I don’t try? Overall the class was good. I was really glad to be able to get to the end of it still capable of breathing 🙂

Couple of things during class…there was a lot going on with some new people and some old timers just doing whatever they wanted to do. Nevertheless during the second set ; second part of awkward I time warped to the third part and started saying the dialogue for that! Everyone was like “Uhh what…” I pulled them out of the posture and just went onto the third part like nothing happened. I didn’t let it own me just laughed about it and that was that.
