kids, anybody?

i am about to embark upon teaching yoga to some kids in the malden school system for an academic year. it frightens me, but i think it will be good. it will unfortunately only be once a month to each age group, and i will be teaching to 2 age groups -- a 1-4th grade set, and the other a 5-8th grade set. the two shall be very different -- any tips on how to handle it? i also have to put a curriculum together, which shouldn't be a problem. i will emphasize balance one time, inversions another time, etc, and then be practicing the sun salute all along so they can take it home with them. i'll make little hand-outs and stuff. the other nice thing is that they are going to pay me for prep time, which is great. they are very excited to have me twice a month, and i am very excited to have this going for me too. so, it shall work out, somehow. at the very least, it will be fascinating, and i'll be sure to have times around holidays off.

harvard athletics interviewed me this past week, and that went very well. they were already talking about how to get me on the schedule.

still no one showing up at the classes at the dance center of waltham, but i have one consistent student going to my harvard square gig. i think i'll have to put some more posters up... i did a mailing... i hope it works.

constant self-marketing is tiring. i'm still nowhere near getting enough to pay the bills, but i am slowing the rate of attrition in my bank account. and hell -- it sure has been nice not having to get up at 6 every morning.
