The Student Teaches

It’s August 1st.  Maybe you’ve already noticed this fact about today.  Brad and I, and about ten other people in our regular Monday yoga class, failed to note the class schedule change that took effect at the end of July and showed up at the normal time for our class today; but our teacher wasn’t coming until tomorrow.  So I offered to lead the class — and people were willing to go along and we did a yoga class together, which was very fun for me.  I’ve been doing yoga on and off for about 20 years, but I’ve never taught a yoga class before.  We moved our bodies around (safely) together and did some fairly elementary variations of the Sun series and breathed and laughed together.  Tomorrow we’ll go to our regular real class with our regular real teacher and I’ll stand facing my usual direction and be grateful to be a student again.
