So a quick round up of yesterday.......the sun was shining and I was brimming over with excitement and anticipation of what was going to happen on IDY, and it did not disappoint! First up was the lunchtime session at the University of Nottingham - a first for me as I had never taught a class outside before and also had never taught a one-off drop in event like that. Was I nervous? Oh yes but in a good way as I knew it was something I wanted and needed to do. As soon as we got ourselves settled and I welcomed everyone to the event I felt 'at home' I spent the next 45minutes just being in the moment there and then it was such a wonderful feeling. That event really was a highlight of my yoga teaching so far and made even more special that it was on my 'anniversary' of teaching. Most of the people who came along had some experience of yoga but there was one person who had never done yoga before but saw the opportunity to try so came along - how marvelous to start your yoga journey on such a special day. Which brings me onto the session at Nottingham Yacht Club.....................

And another first which, for those of you who trained with me will know what a major step for me this is, all the way through my teaching programme I was the one adamant that I would not have children in my class 'it will spoil it for others' 'I only teach adults' etc etc. However last night my very good friend asked if she could bring her daughter along, now to put it into perspective I've known her since she was a baby and she is now a young teenager, if she couldn't come then her mum was going to miss out on IDY. I said 'Yes'!!!! Oh boy what a special class that turned out to be so on IDY2018 a mum and daughter had their first yoga class together and I got the chance to have my first young person in my class - I felt so honoured to have shared that moment with them.

Then it was back to the boat to relax and reflect on a beautiful day, I wonder what today will bring......................................
