Busy teaching yoga and working as a nurse

In March 2007 I began teaching yoga at a studio in the Richmond district. I taught there as a substitute teacher many times, and for three months I taught the Sunday morning yoga class. In June I started working a second nursing job, and I teach private yoga sessions on weekday evenings, so my schedule became a little too full this Summer in that I didn't have a day off for weeks at a time. Now I've let go of teaching the regular Sunday morning yoga class, and it is enough to have one day off a week for now. I'm still teaching yoga often enough, as there have been many substitute teaching opportunites. For example, this week I'm teaching two yoga classes at a gym as a sub, and I also taught a private yoga class this week.

I'm studying intensley with a senior yoga teacher. We meet privately several times a month, and I continue to assist her Friday evening class (although I haven't done so lately because of travel plans on both our parts). I enjoy and value the opportunities that having this relationship with a mentor allows me. When questions come up for me as I'm teaching or assisting, I am able to discuss it with my mentor in our next meeting. I always feel clear in understanding and usually I am extra inspired about yoga after our sessions. I see myself continuing to learn and grow as a yoga teacher.
