"Did you once teach at Work Out World in Medford?" She asked me this, though she already knew the answer. This is one of my favorite, and rarest, questions to get, as this was my very first yoga job 8 years ago. "I came to class at 6:30 this morning because I thought I recognized your name.... You are the reason I gave yoga a second chance all those years ago, and now I practice all the time! I couldn't believe you were subbing, and my boyfriend couldn't believe I left the house so early!"
When I took the job at WOW in 2008, I had just turned down a PA job at WGBH after my first yoga training. I had decided to leave the life of documentary production and go to teaching yoga and meditation. Nowadays, lots more people are taking that jump. I don't regret it, but I am glad I did it before the market is as saturated as it is now.
Thank you- Meghan- for coming out this morning and making me feel special. I am so glad you have continued your practice! I will always remember WOW Medford, its students, and even its filthy floors, with love.
