At LYASt

Yesterday I taught my first yoga and spinning classes at YAS Silverlake.  Come January I'm on the official schedule, throwing down ten classes a week.  Tap it up!

Trainee in Wonderland

About two hundred classes in to going to my spinning and yoga gym, it seemed like I should teach there already.  Or so said my instructors, who maybe just wanted me to pick up the slack once in awhile!  Training to teach two things that you've done a great deal is a trip through the rabbit hole: nothing is different but nothing looks the same.  Instead of listening to the voice that moves you, you are that voice.  You are that lady in tight pants wearing a headset and shouting motivational catch-phrases over a pounding beat while her legs move a mile a minute.  Just call me Alice...but make sure to keep your core tight and your hands light on the handlebars.
