Gratitude

Today was my first day teaching yoga at the camp. I have to admit, I was a little nervous. I know I shouldn't be, but any time I'm venturing into the unknown, I always get slightly worried. Luckily, I was able to pull of few yogi tricks out of my sleeve and by the time I actually got there this morning, I was feeling much more confident. 


It turned out to be a great day! It was really interesting and to be honest, tiring - but in a good way. I've never taught practically 6 hours of yoga in one day before, and to kids of all ages. I had pre-schoolers all the way up to girls heading into ninth grade. I enjoyed each group, even the twelve rambunctious six year old boys...whoa!


So right now I am just feeling very grateful. I'm grateful that I am able to have a cool summer job, doing something I absolutely love and am extremely passionate about. I always look at my personal yoga teachers with such awe and admiration. I realized today that I've been doing the kids yoga thing now for nearly 6 months. I really am a yoga teacher too. I want to give my husband a huge thank you because without him, this wouldn't have happened. I had always toyed with idea of getting certified to teach kids yoga, and back in the fall I researched and found a program. I was still holding back though. I said it was the cost of the program, and that was probably part of it, but I also think I was a bit frightened and nervous of the unknown. But thanks to a lot of encouragement and support, I'm making a dream come true. Thank you, Kevin.
