Back in the Saddle

Tomorrow, I start teaching my first prenatal class in quite a while.  I look at my schedule and see that I am now teaching six classes a week.  I am barely making coffee (for those of you new to the party, I became a barista when we moved to MN in 2011 since I couldn't seem to make much of a career out of yoga being new to the community and all).  I will be taking my yoga show on the road in the next few months, with weekend workshops in North Dakota and Iowa.  A new student is connecting me with a studio in Duluth, MN that might be amenable to a similar weekend workshop. 

And at last, I am felting.  I laid out a scarf last week and exhausted my body felting on Wednesday.  I have a little trouble understanding how I ever made ten of these in one week a few years back, but I look forward to regaining that kind of drive and strength. Once I feel a bit more secure in my yoga career, I will finally spend a bit of energy finding the right venues for selling all this Woolynns stuff (some of it is currently just designs in my head). I'll fix up my tent/booth and get better displays.  But that is still a bit further down the road.

Having this kind of time and space to create (yoga, scarves) also gives me breathing room to be more present for my family.  My children may not need me to accompany them on play dates anymore, but being stuck at home all summer is not going to be the default option this year.

I'm hardly feeling like everything is all good to go, but the way is getting clearer and the possibilities keep me smiling every day as I drive from one yoga class to another, as I lay out another scarf, as I add everyone's activities to the calendar.

I'm back.
