12.17.20: Getting the Hang of It (sorta…)

HAPPY AND MERRY EVERYTHING TO EVERYONE. Whatever you believe or celebrate- I am here for it. YOU’RE STILL HERE! Yay. I’m now going into my third week of virtual teaching- phew! I can say I am improving… but I have a ways to go.

I will not be teaching any live classes this coming week (12/21- 12/27) due to the holiday- and also my dad had surgery today so I will be helping out as much as I can with him. However I will be recording a class (either tomorrow or Wednesday) to send to whoever is interested. If you have an active class pack- its free! If not, it’s an easy Paypal or Venmo of $7. Please let me know if you’re interested and i’ll send it your way to do whenever you please and I’ll be back live next week.

RECAP OF WEEK 2:

I was even more excited than I was last week to teach my classes. My students and friends have been so supportive it has only increased my motivation and further sparked the passion I hadn’t felt in many months among the changes and sadness that came with losing my routine and jobs in New York City and Brooklyn.

I thought I had it down this week- the AirPods, sending the link and passcode, the setup. Welppppp, it turns out the learning curve continues. I spent HOURS on Zoom this afternoon troubleshooting and I still don’t have it down to a T. But thats ok. I am being proactive and I signed up for a free Zoom Webinar on Monday afternoon before my first class next week. A “Zoom For Dummies” if you will.

Things I want to learn because I still don’t know how:

• Play my Spotify playlist & my voice at the same time- so I sent the playlist in the email!
• Make MYSELF and not my students the big square on the screen! or switch between
• TURN OFF MY EMAIL NOTIFICATION SOUND DURING CLASS! *BLING*
• I wanted to record class for a few students who requested. And after putting in all the effort to teach WHILE practicing I ended up with just 17 seconds of my face in the camera!

EVEN THOUGH all of that may be true. Even through all of the kinks- I feel so great about class. I feel connected to my teaching and my students and my own practice again. I honestly could cry *surprise surprise!* IM HAPPY! So grateful for those who supported me in my lil biz. It may not look like much just yet, but its mine and im proud.
