When your regular instructor gets covered… 👀
Before the assumptions kick in, here’s the thing:
Covers happen for so many reasons. They usually mean your regular instructor needed rest, had other commitments (we have a life outside of the studio!), furthering education, etc, so the team showed up to support.
It’s about maintaining a healthy studio (and a sustainable teaching career) that actually works.
Practising with different teachers can quietly do a lot for your practice.
You hear cues land differently.
You notice habits you didn’t know you had.
You discover new ways of moving, pausing and dropping into awareness.
It’s not about better or worse.
It’s about widening your experience.
And, we say this with love, sometimes cancelling late just because a new teacher pops up as a cover means missing the very thing that helps your practice grow (and it actually is really upsetting to be honest).
So next time you see a cover pop up on the schedule consider it like this:
Same practice, different lens.
Try the class.
Then decide. 🤍
