I'm a yoga practitioner and start teaching early this year. At first I only had 6-10 students coming inconsistently. I always revise what am I going to do in the class few days before. I also do a lot of reading and research to find something new to share in the class. The following month, I started to receive many phone calls to inquiry about my class. This made me a little bit nervous. I still remember the first day that my class is half full. They came earlier before the class started. It was so overwhelming. Most of them are more flexible than I am. I was a bit challenged of course. But some of them were also struggling to do the pose. It made me talked and walked around more than before. It also made me doing it less. Of course I wasn't satisfied in the class. I want to practice too! As the class ended, they came and talked to me. The dissatisfaction feeling I had earlier was gone. They like yoga. And of course they came to the next class and still coming until now. From time to time I always receive their comments and I use them to create a better class. Become an instructor is a very challenging job. We need to be aware with the sounds and face expressions made by the students. Comments and criticisms sometimes hurt but Yoga helps us to stay positive for everyone's good. I really like your story about your new yoga instructor.
