I need to listen to my own advice

Today I went completely blank teaching a class ! Not once ,TWICE !! Yes it happens even though Iʼve taught 1000s of hours of yoga. I was covering a class for Julie and went to begin the Moon salutation ( Iʼve done it a bazillion times) Blank completley 100 % forgot the flow,the poses the everything !!

Did I panic? Did the clients know? Did I freak out? NOPE.

I gave myself a break and listened to my own advice- Its ok - Its ok breath,regroup and rememeber- Stay calm- Use your breath as an anchor when things łife gets rocky- Relax,its ok to make a mistake- Let go of judgement towards yourself with your own internal dialogue.

Guess what? I eventually remembered the flow and no one noticed...... This moment also reminded me to stay humble, to practice my class even though Iʼve done it so many times.

The reason for my blog today is to remind us all how Yoga can benefit our lives in so many more ways than just the Physical poses and flows. Today Yoga helped me remain calm,to breath, to cut myself some slack.
