A first.
I got my first straight up "well done!" feedback from Sue today! I swear I think I blushed.
I taught about the first 15 or 20 minutes of the 10:30 level 2 class this morning, but tried to do so with a level I feel, as I'm supposed to be doing.
Last night I went to Danielle's 5:45 class and then headed downstairs for Sue's inversion class. Afterwards she told me I would be teaching in the morning. Its so funny how it works ~ though I was cuddling on the couch with Nate watching the Borgias, my mind was on how I was going to open the practice. (I admit, I had gotten an episode ahead of him while he was out of town and I was folding laundry. So sexy, so dangerous, my life). I woke up at 6, thinking about it. I went downstairs, lit the fireplace, and physically marched myself through what I wanted to do, rehearsing the words in my head.
After getting everyone off to school (and panicking over being the juice person today for Jake's class, having forgotten about being the juice person until this morning, having to stop at Wawa, and being that person in Wawa frantically googling kosher symbols quite sure that somehow the (K) DA symbol on the juice might mean that I was going to somehow be the one to unsanctify the entire synagogue in my ignorance or something)......I got home. I straightaway strapped on my ipod and listened to my yoga music (my yoga music library is woefully thin. Its essentially the same music I listened to during my marathon labor with Jake. Somehow, I still love it) while I took a quick 3 mile run around the neighborhood, the whole while thinking about what I was going to say and do.
I always open with a breathing exercise. It worked, today. I did some different and more aggressive things involving hips and even abdominals while on their backs, moved them up onto hands and knees and incorporated two new postures that I hadn't taught before, and took them up to seated, working a forward fold, gentle back bend, seated twist, neck work, then back to table, up to downward dog, walking their hands up to rag doll, and ultimately came up to a standing back bend then arms to prayer where I thanked them for allowing me to be a part of their practice and turned it over to Sue.
I enjoyed her practice immensely (she is an amazing teacher).....and got my little praise biscuit. A good day.
She is off to see the All Blacks Saturday night and we are off to a black tie event, so we will be meeting again at the 10:30 Sunday class, both probably a bit groggy from a late night the evening before. I just realized that she teaches a 9:30 in Downingtown on Mondays, so I am freed from having to go to the rather.....bizarre... teacher whom I had been going to in the WC studio! Good news.

Awesome. Congrats on the well-earned kudos. Sounds like a great day, indeed.
