Learning
Sunday, December 16, 2012 at 10:07AM Yesterday I was trying to teach the little one Chess after she saw me playing a game with Jr.
So we tried to start with placing the pieces on the board. Before the first sentence was out of my mouth, she said "I Know daddy. I know.." and started placing the pawns in a row.. after that she was stuck.
Jr. does the same thing. She knows everything! If they do not listen to any instruction completely how will they ever learn anythign?
The google generation defintely has a challenge when it comes to developing listening skills!
Given that, seriously think that teaching Yoga to this generation will be a lot more challenging than teaching the previous one.. and that in itself is a challenge.
A yoga teacher knows what his brain is telling his body to do and how it reacts. Given every body is different slightly but has the same features, he has to take that thought and transfer it into your head so it can make your body to the exact same thing.
In geek terms, this is like taking a piece of code on a windows machine and putting it in a Mac which has almost the same processors, memory, logic etc.. and making that code do a similar thing on a different machine.
The instruction has to be very clear and specific. As in an earlier post Jim Kallet managed to pull this off for me.
Also there is a picture on the BYSJ site. Someone had taken a cell phone photo. Thank you!
Somehow my body trusted his words better than it trusted my own brain and that is interesting. Why?
Will figure it out in time!
Had signed up for six months of Unlimited visits. Today is the last day of the six month period. My attendance was not that great for the last six months. 64 classes here and 7 in Austin. That is 40% attendance. The travels continue with the new job and manage to go 4 times a week these days.
Have never been able to beat the attendance that my MIL and me had last year. We went 91 days in the first 100.
All said and done the deal with San to renew the commit was "at least 50 classes in 6 months" to keep this going. Passed that test!
