impromptu subbing

So, I was planning to go to my friend Katie's 6:30 class tonight at Fells Point. At 5:40, she calls me and asks if I can sub! She's been sick, and just couldn't teach another class today. So I taught a pretty darn impromptu class tonight! Since I had no planning time, I taught the same sequence I taught a week or so ago when I subbed for Lindsay, with the same playlist. I figured that was better than making it up as I went along. The students got all sweaty, and then got all relaxed.

Things I need to work on in my teaching:
DIALOGUE: I know that all I need is practice, but I need to work on not stumbling all over my words.
Assisting while teaching: I can assist, and I can teach, but doing both simultaneously sure is hard!
Working in the more subtle aspects of the practice: I know all kinds of stuff about yogic philosophy and spirituality, and I love it when teachers talk about those things in class, but I haven't managed to get that worked in.
Themes: I should start making themes for my classes. I think it would be nice.
In general: It would probably be good if I figured out how to work the lights/thermostat for the room BEFORE I start teaching the class.

So yes. Those are my current teaching goals. :)

In other news, I got Thai massage today and it was AWESOME, as always. Everyone should go get Thai massage. RIGHT NOW.
