8am
I totally woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning. I got into work and wrote a blog entry and that seemed to help. I was able to teach a good class working all of the stuff I’ve been working on but man did I feel like shit. It felt like everything I was doing was just shit and I was in this fog that I couldn’t get out of. It was really unfamiliar to me as I’m normally pretty upbeat and feeling good.
One thing that I did in the class was mentioned that I was feeling a bit off and made a joke about bad dreams. It was true!
1130am
Went over to BB where I was to teach and do a coaching session. Before the class a student and I were talking about packages and one thing led to another and then she decided to not take the class. I really felt bad about it but ultimately it was my fault. I never want to see someone walk away from a yoga class, but I can’t make them stay either.
Another thing for me to focus on…
I taught the class trying to stay present and focused it was really hard. I kept going back to the conversation with the student but I forced myself to remember that the people that wanted to be here were here and my job now was to teach them!
I did a good job saying the dialogue clearly and giving corrections…

Great class. I really needed to practice and it felt great to just be in there and not thinking about anything other than what I was being told to do. I’ve been doing stuff after class but its started to affect the beginner class so I need to remember to focus on the beginner class and then do some stuff after but the primary focus in the class is the beginner class!
