Hi yogi moms! 
I just found this thread. I hope your teaching is going well, lunarforest. I love yoga and have been practicing a long time- used to teach. Once you start teaching a class and word spreads, it fills up. My first teaching job was at a health club and 4 students showed up. Within a few months, I had to add a second class because there was literally no room for everyone- so we added a gentle class afterwords. That was packed, too. That seemed to be trend -- you go along with a few and slowly build up, then it gets too crowded and people don't like that and it drops off- then builds up again...
It was pretty much the same at the yoga center except when I inherited ongoing classes that had people already coming to that time slot. Then some left because they didn't like the way I taught and other came because they loved the way I taught. You can never please everyone, only be yourself and go with that.
Motherhood is my yoga now- haven't taught except subbing in 4 years. we finished a small room in the basement that is my yoga and meditation room. I still practice every day- also do tai chi- yang short form less often but have been doing that for about 11 years.

(That's me, panting, after walking the short distance down our sloped driveway to the mail box. Can you imagine what I look each day while chasing our very active son around?!)
babbling. Thanks for any assistance or support you might be able to give us (my son and husband will also be grateful!

I've been practicing yoga for 4-5 years, and am pursuing teacher certification. I practice daily, and so do my 2yo and 4yo. I usually practice solo (no video or class), although it hasn't always been so. I attended classes for a couple years (3 different teachers) and I have a large library of videos. I'm a good person to ask about yoga videos.
