I'm so glad you enjoyed the post! Yeah, it's easy to think that yoga teachers are calm, collected, and generally have their sh*t together. Not always so. We're human like everyone else.
I did do private sessions for a while. Honestly, a lot of people are intimidated about going to a yoga class, but when you get there for the most part people are too busy focusing on their own practice to look around. And everyone was a beginner at one point, so no worries. :)
I'm sure someone else said "recovering perfectionist" before me. No need to credit. I probably got it from someone else and I can't remember who. ;) Thanks so much for reading and taking the time to respond!
Of course! You deserve it after taking the time to write an honest and thought out post!
