I have a strict personality. I give violin lessons. I like the flute and the cello. I teach remote violin classes. I am not planning on getting my teacher's certificate. I wouldn't want to teach music in schools.
I teach Yoga. My mother wants me to become a teacher. My mother was a high school teacher. I'm single. I listen to classic music. I played the flute. I am not planning on getting my teacher's certificate.
What are you planning to do in order to become a better teacher? I really don't want to be a teacher like my mom, but I would like to improve with my yoga teaching.  I'm going to a course next month to work on creating good flows.  Do you like yoga? I tried yoga a few years ago. Relaxing is actually challenging for me. I know the mindfulness of yoga would be good for me, Maybe I should try it again. Do you have other students like me in your class that struggle with relaxing? Definitely! I sometimes still struggle with that myself.  It's hard to turn off our brains for a minute and just focus on our breath - especially when things seem to be going crazy in our lives.  What helps me is putting on really calming music during my classes, dimming the lights, and just talking my students through each pose very slowly, getting them to focus on maintaining proper body alignment.  If you're concentrating on your pose, it's easier to forget about life. Wow..!! you are really good ! You may not want to be a teacher in the same area as your mom but I can see the teacher in you. when you take the creating good flows course you mentioned, Do those courses last a long time? weeks? months? You can sign up for 1 or you can sign up for a few months.  It's super flexible.  Would you like to try one some time? I don't generally go out of my comfort zone. But my doctor is telling me that my health needs working on...maybe yoga would be a good start. How long to the begginning yoga classes run.  Like 30 min or an hour? They're an hour.  I know it sounds like a long time, but we need to slowly ease into the poses, so we start out just laying on our back and breathing and we end that way too.  It's so good for your health.  I'd definitely give it a shot if I were you.  Worse case scenario? You hate it and don't have to come again. You have a good point. Do your classes stay full or do you have an opening for me? I have a couple openings left, so I can definitely sign you up.  How does an evening this week work? I teach at 6pm on Wednesday and 7pm Thursday. I have a violin lesson on Wednesday, so that is out of the schedule. Sign me up for Thursday night. I look forward to the experience.  If I survive, maybe we can go out for tea after class, or is that a thing people do after yoga classes? Sounds great!  Haha, yea, tea would be awesome.  I know of a great coffee shop right next to my studio.  Would you like to go there?
