Flowing Off Top

Today I had a really cool teaching experience in Vinyasa class.

Vinyasa is a method of synchronizing progressive series of postures with a specific breathing technique. And so, I plan and jot down the series of postures I intend to teach before each class. After leading students to revolved 1/2 moon/Parivrtta Ardha Chandrasana I completely forgot the flow I planned to teach. So, I flowed off top (came up with a series of postures on the spot) and for the first time since I've been teaching at Lifetime nearly the whole class thanked me. Some thanked me for challenging them, others appreciated the music and the postures. I'm not excited by the gratification but by the opportunity to share yoga and its rewards, and leave students with a relaxed yet energized feeling I have when I leave a Jonny Kest, Thomas Mack, Nicole Ferguson  or Courtney Jones class.
