Along the way, I couldn’t find the resources I wanted, so I created my own. I decided to bring my guitar along when I started teaching, and when I didn’t quite know what to say (which was pretty often), I sang my instructions.
It worked like a charm. (Those instructions became my song “Dance for the Sun,” which has now been used to teach the sun salutation to kids the world over.)
So trust me, I know what it’s like to rush into the room to teach, frazzled from the craziness of the morning with your own kids (I have three, and when they were little, mornings were not our strong suit).
I get what it feels like to lack confidence when you’re new to teaching kids a practice you’re still growing into.
I understand the isolation of feeling that you’re in this alone, running a solo business, or working a side hustle on top of your regular life.
I’ve certainly been close to losing my mind in a room full of kids bouncing off the walls.
And I know that pit in your stomach on Sunday evening when you realize you still need to plan out the classes you’re leading this week! Ugh.
