Dilemma

I'm in a bit of a bind..I just got another offer to teach..one that I can find hard to say no to..I mentioned some time ago that I went for an interview with a new studio thats gonna be set up in town..well I got the job..

Problem is, I just took on another 5 classes on top of my normal 2 at the gym, cos they have a new centre and needed someone to teach. Also, the guiy who gave me the clases were really nice to me and kinda have always looked out for me while I was teaching there. But the new place has great potential, slightly better pay per class and also offers a full scholarship for a Yogaworks teacher's training (of course that means I have to work for them for 2 years if I do it.) I even get a monthly education allowance to attend workshops and conferences etc. Its a hard choice..and I got to reply by Monday..sigh.

Other than that its tiring to teach 8 classes a week. Luckily I have time off between classes as they are usually staggered in the early mornings and evenings. It also kinda saps my energy for my own practice..no wonder some teachers say they find it hard to concentrate on both their personal practice and teaching.

Other than that practice wise..still no improvements in jump backs. Stuck where I was..which is lift, swing..get stuck with feet on the floor..and bunny hop into chatturanga. I did realise recently I can lift into a L-plant position though pretty easily. It surprised me too, cos sometime ago, the idea of doing that seemed out of this world for me..and now I can just do it. Surprising! No other inspiring breakthroughs though..
