Growth Spurt
The only thing more gratifying than watching your students get stronger, is watching their confidence build as they progress.
I don't know what it was, but during my class yesterday my students all seemed to be beaming! Their Plank Poses (one of my students coined the modified version with knees down "Broken Plank") were steady, their Chaturangas were smoother, and they moved into beautiful Down Dogs with ease. I deviated from my plan quite a bit to give them an extra challenge—and they were up to it! Obviously, I am proud of the progress.
But what I'm most proud of is how they seemed to be having fun whether their poses were perfect or not—which, as far as I'm concerned, is what it's all about. Yay!
