A few weeks ago, I wrote about how I had the opportunity to teach my first ever workshop. I was so excited because it sounded like such a great chance to reach out to new students and for my regular students to go a little deeper than they get to in our 1-hour classes. It seemed like the perfect time to have a workshop. Class attendance was up. Summer break was about to begin. The students who were coming were excited and motivated, and many of them had blossomed—from a basic, beginning practice to a more sophisticated practice. It's sure to be a success story, I thought.

Ironically, as soon as the workshop was added to the schedule, my class attendance dropped dramatically. As it turns out when students get a break for summer, they also take a break from yoga. To add to that, several of my regular students will be studying abroad in the next few months. The workshop was scheduled for Saturday, and as of now, it looks like we'll have to cancel it because no one has signed up. So I'm down, but not out.

Just as my dreams of facilitating an amazing summer workshop were fading fast, another opportunity came my way. Next week, I'll be exposing group of about 15 summer campers to the wonderful practice of yoga for the first time. (With any luck, a few of them will fall in love with yoga and start coming to my class, too!)

Isn't it funny how things work out?
