We received our "final" poses this weekend. Mine is to instruct Tadasana to Trikonasana to Ardha Chandrasana. I will be alotted four minutes to teach this on the final day.
I didn't practice teach too much in advance, so I indulged my group of students in a little improvisation. Hopefully that original demonstration is NOT an indication of the way I will teach in the future. I was feeling a little arrogant about my ability to basically repeat what I've heard other instructors say in class...this is a pretty common linking of poses in several yoga traditions.
I stammered and struggled, got the asana points wrong - I sounded pretty incompetent. It certainly didn't help that my voice was pretty threadbare from eight hours of chanting the night prior. Might want practice on some of my friends for awhile, instead.
