We'll talk about this more on Saturday May 23 if you'd like to join us 🤩
This week, I was feeling insecure that I rarely show up and intuitively create a sequence. It seems to flow (ha ha) more naturally to other teachers to make it up there and then. I've tried memorizing plans and it causes me so much anxiety that I'm tripping over words, too much dead air & filler words ... Just overall much more unsure than when I have notes.
that was making me feel inferior, like I'm not really doing it right... then I was like HOLD UP -- I've been in a teaching role since I was a teenager, and I've ALWAYS been a planner. I like taking my time to think things through, plan transitions and timings, and present my best possible lesson. When I get there, and I see the people in front of me, THAT'S where my intuition shows up. I know the plan well, it's there in my binder if I need a reminder. But I can match the energy and needs of those in front of me much better BECAUSE I thought things through so much before I got there.
I've always been a plan intensively, then be ready to improvise irl kind of teacher and I'm learning it's ok if my yoga classes look like that too. 🥰
