I was fortunate to be able to take classes at a hotel as restrictions on sports-related facilities due to the coronavirus were gradually being eased.
Yoga class at the hotel. I felt like I had to act like a hotel employee or flight attendant, had long arms and legs, was slim, and had a pretty face, so I felt a vague sense of pressure because I felt distant from myself.
In addition, since it was a program held at Hotel GX, the participants were different from regular yoga centers.
Most of the customers were people who had memberships to use amenities such as swimming pools, golf practice rooms, and gyms, and the difference from regular yoga centers was that people staying at hotels came to use the GX program.
To put it simply, the main customers were wealthy people who lived in a different world from mine.
The average age group was mostly people in their 50s and 60s, so I don’t know how nervous and nervous I was about having to proudly lead the class in front of them, even though I was their child.
However, I thought that this could also be a desperate opportunity for someone, so I just had to come to my senses and do well. I thought it was a good opportunity to level up as a yoga instructor.
That’s how I started to arm myself mentally.
‘They may be older than me and have a higher economic or social status, but at least I know yoga better, so don’t be scared!’
‘Let’s just think of it as our parents and family and take it easy as we have always done.’
‘Even if something is clumsy or you make a mistake, you don’t have to repeat it again. ‘Let’s smile, admit it, and move on’
So the first class at the hotel started at 7 a.m. for one hour.
Before I came, I was so nervous and nervous, but when I arrived, I was intoxicated by the grand and elegant hotel interior, soft lighting, and luxurious scents.
‘I can’t believe I’m teaching in a place like this!’ I don’t know how excited and excited I am.
‘nice. Hyeri Lim. I can’t believe you really came this far. It’s really great. I’m proud.’
As I praised myself, my nervousness disappeared and I was filled with confidence.
I soon regained my composure right before class, and although I was nervous, I was able to finish the yoga class more comfortably than I thought. After the first class, the members who were with me applauded with sweet smiles as if they were salty, and I was so moved.
Occasionally, after finishing a class at a yoga center, there would be people who would quietly applaud for a minute or two.
It was my first time experiencing everyone applauding at the same time, so it was unfamiliar, but it was a truly touching experience.
The desire to generously share everything I know with these people and the hope that this time would be truly comfortable, enjoyable, and happy came to me naturally.
As time went by and thanks to the influence of those who joined us, the number of GX yoga classes increased from 1 to 8.
