so with mixed emotions I am suddenly sitting here with about 1 day to prepare a 1h hatha yoga class for a smaller convention that the famous swedish "fitness magazine" is arranging as one of their steps of celebrating 15 years.

I was called in/asked to come in as a last minute replacement for another class that unfortunatly cant be done since some of the equipment is stuck somewhere due to the flight dilemma we have had I guess. [the ashes from the vulcano].
this class was gonna be tought by a friend & collegue of mine, and I know how much she and her compagnions that was gonna help her out on stage was looking forward to do this, and also it was a premiere for that class in scandinavia..

so I feel very sad for them not being able to do their class because of outer circumstances that they cant do anything about, that is sooo frustrating.
so: mixed emotions...

at the same time of course I feel honored to have been asked to come and teach a HathaYoga, and since I love teaching yoga and get a chance to inspire others I also feel focused & excited to do this.

but I just take it for what it is, I know what I am doing I have been teaching yoga for a long time so for my class I am not really nervous.

..at the same time I also have to be aware of the conditions..
I am an replacement, people are expecting another class - a premiere! : )
this is also the last class of the day when many are tired aswell, so my guess is that some are gonna pack their things, also there is no time to arrange yoga mats, so this class will be tought on the bare floor, barefoot he he
and in my style of yoga we actually spend a lot of time on the floor, so I have to build a class to fit the conditions where people still can get the idea of what I am about, but at the same time to have them feel a bit comfortable of course, since no knee support and also not to nice to put the forhead perhaps on the floor etc he he.
but somethings I will have to do on the floor, things I can not compromise or change..

so, tomorrow at 5pm I will know how this all turned out ha ha..

wish me luck and also send happy thoughts and energy to the girls whos class had to be cancelled suddenly after a lot of time spent to prepare this class..
