today i began teaching. and rode the trains for the first time. cool! teaching was wonderful. 30 students in 3 hours. i felt like a truck ran me over afterwards, & i'm going back tonight to teach a 2 hour night mysore class. nothing like jumping back in the fry pan! at least i am happy. i don't know why, but this place makes me very happy. maybe it's the people, maybe it's the food, maybe it's something in the air, i don't know.
what i absolutely loved about teaching in this studio was the dedication of the students & their gratitude towards me. every single student was serious, but not too serious (not obsessed). beautiful practices indeed and all completely traditional. there aren't even any props in the studio to tempt them out of tradition! i am so inspired by this studio that i am going to find a way to do the same thing when i get back to chicago. the owner of the studio is doing all the right things with the right intention & it's completely inspiring to me. there's nothing like it at home, and soon there will be! or i'll just have to move here, which would not be so bad at all.
basically, tokyo rocks. that's all i have to say.
