When I walked into the classroom and saw the students working on a case study, Porter's 'Competitive Strategy' textbook in hand, I cracked up. I had a flashback to myself as a student in this very program 11 years ago. I cracked up again when I came back to the present and felt my heart fill with gratitude I was here as a visiting teacher...here to teach yoga. Its not that I wouldn't want to be a PKE student again, in fact I loved the program so much I wouldn't mind a second round again. Rather, I feel like I'm in my own private 'grad school', learning to follow the gentle subtle directions guided by the heart. Neither experience, by the way, is a cakewalk.
So that was the theme of my class today. I know these students had been in their head most of the day, learning theory, in case studies, etc. A little breathing, relaxation, and gentle guiding inside seemed appropriate for this group.
It was their last session of the day. After we finished practice we sat on the floor for another 20 minutes or so, talking PKE shop and getting to know each other better. Thank you Dr. Wayne Strom for inviting me to share yoga!
