I taught my first yoga class ever last Saturday morning. I wasn’t sure if it was right for me to do it and was quite nervous before starting. I felt a great sense of responsibility for being the person who’ll provide a bunch of people with their first contact with yoga. Let me say that I might not be the bestest teacher in the world, but I tried to do my best with what I’ve learnt and all in all, I think I didn’t do that bad. I walked them through the basic principles of breathing and good posture and then did some simple standing and seated postures. I also included a couple of easy backbends, but no twists or inverted postures, which I’ll save for the following classes. The class was 90 minutes long, which provided for a long Savasana, something they enjoyed.
