Day 131 - Break 'Em In

In our Shiatsu class (you know - every time I type that, I have to be uber-careful to make sure I spell that one right) tonight, our class had the pleasure of breaking in another new teacher to the school.
She seems eager, knowledgeable, and personable. Sometimes, though, you want to ease into it, ya know. Maybe kinda hang back and watch. Let the regular teacher do her thing. Let the students do what they're doing - you know - practicing - before you bust in and say, "Hey, let's do a demonstration!" Demos are great, but if you're already in the middle of practicing, it may not be the best time to do so.
Just my two pennies.

Day 101 - Core 101

In this evening's class, we had a three minute lecture, then had a 50 minute demo from both the instructor and the TA, each working on one of our classmates. I think most of us were wishing we were the ones on the tables. After the demo, we set up and we did our own bodywork, about 40 minutes worth for each partner. Ahhhhhh....got to be first on the table, which really set me up to get ready to give a massage. It's amazing after five weeks of not giving many massages, how out of practice I felt. Well, that's all going to change in the next week. Core class, then clinic.
