I have no idea, why are you asking me!? But I probably should find out since I will be teaching workout classes at my center three times a week. This is going to be interesting...
The first two classes I "taught" went "well". It was a mix of aerobics, yoga, pilates, belly-dance and anything else I could pull out of my a** in two seconds. The trick is to not let anyone sense that you have no idea what you are doing. Ok, ok, now I don't want you getting the wrong impression. The class did go well and the women in my class were so amazing and patient, but explaining that tree pose is a great way to stay centered and how important it is to be centered in one's life is not that easy to say in Darija. I didn't even try to explain the importance of a strong core, that wasn't in my Darija dictionary.
So teaching workout classes is one of the things I will be doing for the next two years inshalla. Not too shabby I must say. I am hoping to focus on yoga and pilates since that is what I know best, and maybe sprinkle a little dance in it, something like yoga-dancealates (copyright Lucia Cucinotta so don't steal it!) Now if only I knew more Darija...story of my life.
