Imposter Syndrome Is So Real
This is really more of a rant than anything. I recently started my mat certification through Balanced Body and I only have one more class to go until I am able to test out. I have been teaching family and friends some classes to get in my student teaching. I only just taught my 7th class yesterday and I am just being so hard on myself.
Cognitively I know that learning to teach bodies takes time but I so badly want to be on the other side of the growing pains. I find myself getting overwhelmed with wanting to cue correctly so clients have proper form AND watching their bodies AND making corrections AND counting AND all the things. Then on top of that i’m like well dang maybe i’m just not cut out to be an instructor I guess.
I keep trying to remind myself that it all comes with time and that this is the point of practice and student teaching is to refine. But it still is so uncomfortable!
To all my instructors out there, how long did it take you until you felt comfortable with your style of teaching, and cueing, etc etc?
