I spent most of last week freaking out about singing in public and about stepping outside my comfort zone.
Truth be told, being on stage was nerve-racking.
The stage was a corner of a room I spend a lot of time in, but not with everyone looking at me. My voice wasn’t as strong as in our practice sessions and I’d never sung into a microphone before {note to self: go to sound check}.
Even though I’ve sung along to this song a million times, for a moment, the words totally escaped me. Good thing I know this about myself and brought them along. I glanced down occasionally to make sure I remembered where we were going.
As I looked out into the faces of my fellow yogis and friends, I really felt the love in the room. People couldn’t have been more supportive – lots of smiles and even a new friend singing along with us.
Plus I was up there with my best guy.
I got over my serious case of nerves pretty quickly.
How could I not?
Many people have told me they are already looking forward to honing their talents for the next big show.
And there is talk about starting the It’s All Yoga Family Band!
