First Chair Yoga Class

It's not the same as teaching exactly, since I'm using a video.  But since I'm working with seniors and doing chair yoga, I feel safer using a video.  But I still felt responsible for what people thought of it.  They seemed to like it--we'll see who comes back.  But one lady wasn't happy--she was speaking to a friend in another language, so all I could decipher was "yoga...yoga"  before she walked out.  I first thought she didn't like the slow start, and/or the fact that there is more speaking (her English isn't good).  But it may be that she thought I was going to use a different video.  She had brought an exercise video to me at the start of the class--I thought she was just returning it.  But she came back at the end of the class and asked for the video.  So maybe she thought I was going to use the video she had borrowed, and was disappointed to find out that I was going "yoga".  But with my personality, I have trouble not taking things like that personally. I'll check with the activities director to see if she can figure out what happened.

But I like doing this--I would prefer not to use the video, but I think people like the video--and I haven't done chair yoga before.  We'll see how this progresses...
