Today is Tuesday. In two more days I am going to attempt to make a video of me teaching a yoga class as my practical exam for the certification I am hoping to receive. I started this last year in September. I had wanted to finish it sooner, but life got in the way for a bit. If I pass, I will have a teaching certification with 250 hours under my belt. I have had to read, read, read and read some more. There were a few videos to watch, a written exam, an anatomy exam and Sanskrit terms to learn! I also had to write a 3 page essay on the benefits of Vinyasa Yoga. I haven't written an essay in years!
Working on my lesson plan for my practical exam has been so much more time consuming that I had imagined. Although, remember who it is here. OCD lady! Not only have I had to put together an hours session, but I had to compile a play list to go along with it! Who sits and listens to New Age yoga music? I do now, that's all I have to say.
I am totally nervous to be honest. I can do yoga just fine, but to teach it? I will have to talk and explain the poses, walk around the room to ensure my students are correctly in the postures. Vinyasa Yoga, what I will be teaching, is a flowing yoga. With my having to talk through out my class and guide students, I am uncertain how much my class will really flow! Practice and patience are a must I suppose.
Here's hoping for a successful exam in two days! I am not supposed to use notes. How I am going to manage!!!!

Hey this is really cool! You will do great! I admire your ambition here and not only that but your flexibility~ because I'm guessing you have to DO the poses too! Good luck ~ you'll be great!
Wow! I didn't know you were doing that! Looking at the date, I think today was the day of the exam. I am sure it went well. I wish I could come take a class from you!
