The alarm went off at 6am this morning…and surprisingly enough it wasn’t that hard getting up…on a normal day when the alarm goes off at 8am or 9am even, i find it extremely hard to get out of bed….but when i have to get up for yoga, and more to the point, to teach yoga…then getting up early feel effortless…
I was substituting for Nicol, yoga teacher and owner of the Yogasama Yoga Center, but who also teaches Yoga Dinamico B at YogaMilan.it as well as at her own center. Here is the class schedule at Yogasama [you can see my class listed on there, Wednesdays @ 20:00 Vinyasa Flow Yoga!]:

YogaMilan.it is managed by Monic Mastroianni, also a yoga teacher at YogaMilan who teaches a variety of classes at the center, ranging from Yoga Dinamico, Yoga Dinamico B, Pregnancy Yoga, Hatha Yoga and heads workshops and masterclasses. Here’s their yoga class schedule:

I was nervous at first…but once i arrived, i started to relax…the yoga studio itself is an oasis of calm, it is just such a beautiful and peaceful space, that you can’t not relax when in it.
I arrived at 7.20am so had enough time to make myself some tea, and prep my area and go thru the class lesson i had prepared…there is nothing better and self-practice in an empty yoga studio – having all that space all to yourself…i just love it!
There are normally 5-6 students in this class, and for getting up so early to make this 8am class every Tuesday morning, they are a serious about it….unfortunately only 1 student showed up this morning…i was looking forward to teaching a fuller class…but i guess not this time! This week is a difficult week as not everyone is back, or some might have just gotten back from a long trip, i.e. Hong Kong, and so might still be jetlagged…the other thing is, the buzzer to let people in doesn’t actually work that well, and who knows…maybe more people came but i just didn’t hear them due to the malfunctioning buzzer? I will never know…I just hope that my only student enjoyed her class this morning, her feedback could possibly open up a new door/window/gate – at this stage, i don’t mind which!
Anyway, i’m exhausted now due to my early wake-up call…i will be going to bed very shortly…i’ve got another 6am wake-up call tomorrow morning…this time i’ll be trying out a vinyasa flow class at Kriya Yoga Ashram Milano, who are located at Via Degli Olivetani 12 – check out their class schedule below:

Enjoy!
