I let the anxiety of failure get the best of me most days and that's an awful way to spend your time. The last few weeks, we have spent a large majority of our classes getting up in front of everyone and teaching a sequence. When we finish, we critique each other. We are all super supportive of each other and even when we have a not so great critique, we make it great. We help each other out and that's is the key to confidence. I'm getting less and less shy about getting up I front of everyone. It's becoming kind of natural and I know deep down that I was meant to help people. That right there gives me even more confidence. It's interesting to see where everyone is going with their training. Some are more interesting in fast and energetic, like power yoga. Some are into the flow of vinyasa. I've landed on a mixture, I think. I love gentle yoga. I want to get people to clear their minds and feel at peace. Working through the pose to free the mind. I also want people to feel good in their body. So, I just signed up for a weekend workshop of yoga teacher training for the elderly. I can't wait for it! Anyway, confidence is a hard thing to get a hold of if you doubt yourself. It's not a good way to live. If you have a passion for something, that right there should help build confidence. If you love it, go for it!
