A lesson

I've of course been teaching Yoga too...it's almost too much on my plate kids...

So I was suppose to begin teaching a class last night which was not advertised very well at all - I was pretty sure the class would be canceled due to lack of attendance.

I called up to see how many people were coming to class and was told 4 people. This upset me a bit since I usually won't agree to teach unless there are at least 6 students - it's just not worth my time.

But knowing that they expected me to come and it was not fair to cancel on there 4 people I went.

Turns out I got a chance to see again and teach (for the first time) one of my favourite people from my *own* Yoga class. She and I had always hit it off because she too works for the same 'institution' I do - so when I'd go to have classes myself she and I would talk and socialise a bit. She complemented me on losing weight, and at the end of the class complimented me on my teaching skills, which to me is a very high compliment indeed.

The class was nice and we may even have more students next week. In the end I am glad I went. I myself learned a lesson about expectation and duty and putting one's own selfishness aside in order to help others to 'feel better'.

Thanks Goddess I needed a lesson in compassion...
