Last night I made the announcement at yoga class that I was changing things. gasp. I had decided that the evening classes at CCPC just weren't popular. CCPC is a very busy congregation, they have meetings and more meetings and the congregants are tired from being out of their houses every night. So, I worked all day and agonized over how can I serve them? And I came up with a new schedule and was really excited about it. I announced it to my first class-- they were happy. Next class starts rolling in. Biggest class at CCPC that I've had in a while. Rut Roh. Where have these people been? I instantly start feeling really guilty. Considering this is the class that is disappearing... this class has been going since February 2004.... I REALLY didn't want to give up this class. But the few who come to it regularly have been murmuring about how empty it feels..... and I told the "boys" I would make changes so they could play softball and not miss yoga....
ARRRRGHHHH
This is what keeps me stuck. Trying to please everyone all the time. Truth is: The changes I have made will give most people more opportunity to keep up their practice. In fact, those who do yoga regularly will be able to do it 2 or 3 times a week now which is much better than just once and infinitely better than occasionally. To really get the benefits of yoga it needs to be consistent and regular....
Linda, you did the right thing. People will make time if they want to. You have tons of offerings, it isn't as if you don't try. Okay. Deep Yoga Breath.
I don't like to let anyone down. This all means the world to me. Obviously.
I really am excited about my new schedule. And almost everyone was too. And I am always available for private and semi private classes. It will be fine.
I'm also really excited about my new Intenders offering...I'm gonna start a group that uses the law of attraction, meditation and positive energy to effect change in their lives and in our world. I mean honestly, what could be better than that?
