Hi all. I have decided to end the (trial) class at Ngaio Town Hall. There were a list of reasons why I've made that decision (some obvious, some not so) but I won't go into it here. Suffice to say I feel totally at peace with the decision, although there is a small part of me that feels I let down the few people where were very enthusiastic about the class. Having said that, I'm the only one who has to make the commitment to be there every week, I don't get to decide not to go because I have another commitment or don't feel up to teaching.
I can only say I made the right choice for me, and in the end, it is seeking that self-knowledge and then having the courage to listen and follow it that is at the heart of a person who is in control of their own destiny.
I will say this: I don't entirely know if what I do is even Yoga, but I know that I love it and I will be doing it for the rest of my life
Namaste

I feel myself wanting to spend some more time contemplating on my place as a Yoga Teacher, why I do it, why I do it the way I do it, what it means to my life and to my practice as a so called Yogi.
more to come
Namaste :-)

Hey lovely peeps. There is NO YOGA this Wednesday as there is a quaterly blood collection at the Chruch Hall.
I'm very confident a number of people will show up for the class anyway and I will be reminding those people about the wisdom of checking this blogspot before coming to class in the future :-)
The new class at Ngaio Town Hall is slowly starting to establish itself with a small group of people I could just about start to call regulars. The numbers are big enough to make me feel the class is worth running, and my hope is that with a low attrition rate and a slow trickle of new people joining, the class will slowly grow and continue to establish itself.
Sundays class had a unique moment when right at the end, a stream of light came blasting through one of the high windows covering my body and face in blinding light, in a hall otherwise shrouded in darkness. God, were you sending me a sign?!?
Namaste

During the weekend I actually got of my metaphorical ass and constructed some basic flyers to advertise my Open Circle Yoga classes. Stuck one on the Ngaio Hall Notice Board and gave the rest to Carolyn Patchel to stick up and hand out via her already established network.
This really is the first time I've made a legitimate effort to market my classes and for that reason alone it is worth taking a moment to recognise this as a significant event in my life as a Yoga Teacher. I have no idea if this will offer any assistance to attracting members, but I reckon if it brings even a single person to the classes it was worth it.
In the end, I feel that via word of mouth a slow and evolutionary growth of the class is the path that I hope; expect and believe will occur, and I'm genuinely willing (and able) to give it the time an expectation like that needs to prove itself.
In a way, the growth of a new class feels very similar to the development of ones own practice. It evolves organically, and is best if built on strong foundations.
Namaste all!
