So after my yoga class at the Y tonight, my yoga instructor whom I adore approached me about giving me some extra training and getting me up to speed so I could sub for her sometimes. It'd mean a free YMCA membership for my husband and me, which is a big financial help as we really scraped to get the membership in the first place.
I'm so excited about this--but also so alarmed, because I'm a total novice at yoga. I have a lot to learn and...well frankly, the idea of my teaching a fitness class--even a beginners' class--is absolutely astonishing to me, as I have been such a sedentary person. But I LOVE this class and I LOVE the instructor, so I've really taken to it.
I'm also worried that people might not want to be led through an hour of yoga by a fat chick, y'know? Like, am I really a viable proof of concept in my current "during" shape?
I would love to say yes, but I don't want to embarrass myself or worse, get people injured from lack of knowledge. What would y'all do in this situation? I never expected such a thing to happen.
