first class 4 towandauk

[Guest guest]

laura, how did your class go? hopefully, you got a good, supportive teacher.

did you stick around and watch the mysore class?

Thanks for asking, okrgr1. Actually, I didn't

make it. (I ended up working late). I did, however,

email the centre and ask about which class would be

appropriate for me to start in, and was told in their reply

that I should start with a Mysore class. That's a bit

intimidating, though maybe it shouldn't be. I might build up to

a class tonight (Friday), but am waiting to hear

back whether or not it's full. <br><br>Thanks for the

support.

i think different teachers would give you

different answers an what kind of class to start out with.

if you feel comfortable with the sequence of

postures (not that you can do them all well, just that you

know the correct sequence and have a good idea of how

they are supposed to be done), then mysore should be

great. that presumes there are enough instructors to

give you the appropriate evaluation and assistance.

that's how it's taught at the big house in mysore, no

reason you shouldn't get the same benefit in edinburgh.

i know it's not easy to accept that no one will

care whether you are "good" or not. we all probably

had (have) the same concerns when we first started

practicing in front of others. but, the instructors have

seen it all before--from the frank beginner to the

student who is more advanced than the teacher. they are

there to help you, that's their profession. so go in

with a happy mind, anticipating discovery. i'll think

you'll enjoy it so much more.
