It turns out that I have been hiding something from myself, a hint of denial. When I first started leading these virtual workout sessions I started by re-purposing sessions I already taught live over at the University. Changing a song here or there and rolling forward with the class. I had over 90 sets & playlists to go through so I figured why reinvent anything. This was in complete opposition to my philosophy when I taught live. Every class I would sit down and design a new playlist and workout set and make it fresh for everyone, including myself. Why then have I done 5 classes already and not built one from scratch? That is a question I forced myself to face. I think inside I didn’t want to take full ownership of the situation. I was keeping this a temporary situation by not putting all of myself into its design. Something to get me by until normalcy returned. I’ve decided that it was a cop out. So this class from start to finish was completely new. A playlist I created solely for the virtual session. It’s a personal choice, but I feel as though if I keep looking to tie things to the past I won’t be able to fully focus on what’s ahead. Instead of comparing how diminished now feels to then, I look to the future and it’s promise. See you next class.
