yesterday i had gotten a little upset about this whole yoga studio thing. it's going a lot slower than i had anticipated. i teach two classes on monday nights and two classes on tuesday nights. what sucks is that matt will always call me when he knows classes are over to see how they went, which is sweet, but it then forces me to tell him that i had no students in my first class and my mother was my only student in my second class.
tonight, i know for certain that i will have two students in my first class and i'm actually ecstatic about it. i've more or less exhausted all opportunities to advertise and whatnot at this point and it's frustrating and discouraging to know that virtually none of those efforts have paid off.
if matt or my parents tell me once more to not get discouraged and to hang on and keep at it, i think i'll throw up. i signed a three month lease, i have to keep at it. i am, however, also entitled to be frustrated and discouraged.
i suppose it has only been open for two weeks as of today and if it doesn't work out - how many people can say that they ran a little yoga studio for a while? [...this is me trying to keep my glass half full...]

in other news...i'm going to start a supplementary blog to this one [i like the option to have multiple blogs on typepad...i don't think that vox had that, or else i never really looked].
i'm going to try to read through Patanjali's Yoga Sutras (ancient yoga text written in verse form and somewhat convoluded and difficult to decipher). it's challenging and i generally always give up and/or lose interest, but if i have something to be held accountable to, i think i'll get through it. i want to really take the time to understand it and come to my own conclusions about its meaning. i think this'll help.
have a good day, typepadders.
