This was my second saturday where Steve was the teacher. The class was very small, i think there were only three people there. I also noticed that the class the previous saturday, which Steve was the teacher for was very light on people as well. When I first started going to saturday classes the room was filled from wall to wall. I think this change in class size has to do with the comfort everyone feels with Jen as a teacher. When people choose a yoga studio or class to attend, the teacher plays a large part in that decision. A practitioner of yoga develops a certain raport or relationship with a teacher, and people being creatures of habit tend to not like change. Basically, it seems like when Jen went on break so did everyone else.
Overall it was a good class. He progression and sequence is different from Jens, and he also has us do quite a few different postures that I have yet to do with Jen. So for me having a substitue teacher is a nice change of pace because it mixes things up a bit. I actually wouldn't mind if there was a different teacher every couple of weeks, it would keep the practice fresh and interesting because each teacher has there particular preference in postures.
On a side note, I noticed that Steve like to play the music quite a bit louder than Jen or Alice. It is still the same genre of music though. Also, he plays the music from his ipod while they play them from CDs.
