It was a good practice yesterday afternoon.  A first one in a good long time, as is evident from this PLOG o’ mine.  One hour.  With Baron Baptiste. 

OK, not really.  Not the man in person, but his voice.  In my Bootcamp in a Box.  I had to admit to my husband last night as we were discussing my upcoming teaching, that I am somewhat of a Baptiste disciple.  As I am trying to work on my cueing, I am listening/watching other practitioners.  While all good, certainly some better than others, I have been practicing the Baptiste method of Vinyasa for so long now, my body just knows it.  

OK, so I’ve also been to one of his bootcamps.  It’s a form of yoga I enjoy.  I feel like I have worked out and I feel that I have centred and relaxed through it all at the same time.  This is what I will bring to my class.  Not officially, for any of you out there about to run to Baptiste crying copyright infringement.  But as it is a practice I enjoy and rely on, there is no question it will influence my teaching. 

So now I develop my own sequences of postures, in the Vinyasa form.  It was recommended that I literally talk my way through my own practices to work on my cueing.

I’m nervous about cueing.  Stutter….  Uh…… Stammer….  Um……  No way, man!  I’m gonna have it together.  Really….
