hi ho, hi ho...it's off to teach i go!

each time i get ready to teach a big workshop, i feel a little anxious/nervous energy creep up! instead of relaxing and meditating (which i know would bring a semblance of peace) i kind of flit around, bug my husband, go from the family room to the bedroom and back, do a few yoga poses and check my computer...and finally blog on it!

i love teaching, find great peace and joy in it, and feel honored to share information with people! once i get there, that is. the lead-up is always filled with some trepidation...what if i forget to share some things, what if i stumble over my words, what if they don't like me?

and this time is even tougher, because i just returned from this amazing, transformative class on myofascial release and it's caused me to question everything i have learned and the anatomically based class i am about to teach. how can i present this information in a true and honest way when i am not even sure that these things i "know" are right?

so i remind myself that the anatomy is SO important--not because it is the be-all, end-all of who we are as human beings...but it gives us a glimpse into our inside physical workings. it teaches the nuts and bolt mechanics of this amazing creature that we are. i need to remember that just because i am feeling a pull beyond (WAY beyond) these nuts and bolts, that i know them well. and most people who are interested in this class WANT this knowledge.

a deep breath. and here i go!
