Yoga today and the other day…

Christina
I was late to yoga class today but Christina, the teacher, is usually relaxed so it was no big deal. I don’t like coming in to late to a class because I feel like it ruins the vibes. Usually if I am over fifteen minutes late I won’t think about it. Today I broke that rule because I needed to stretch. Yesterday I had done a bike ride and two big hikes and when I woke up today I was stiff. I also had been working very hard on the computer so I needed to get out of my head which yoga does for me.

It worked. Even though I was only in class for thirty five minutes I left there feeling refresh. Christina has that effect on me.

Now on Friday again I was pushing it after a couple hard days of work and went to the four thirty class. Back in the day this had been Josh’s class but I had no idea if he was still teaching the class. He wasn’t and on that day was a subsitiute. She was late murmuring something about the city traffic. She made a big point how she was studying for the bar exam as I cared. As if the world needed just another lawyer. As if this was to show she was intelligent. It’s that kind of intelligence that has us in two wars at the moment and the collapse of the financial system. The last thing we need are more so called intelligent people. How about more people with soul.

She taught her class in a mechanical quick pace. I wouldn’t say it was horrible but it certainly wasn’t good. She finished the class and was out the door again muttering about the bar exam.

So when I come to a yoga class I never know what to expect.

    I’m always late for class. I think it is embedded in my DNA. And I’m a teacher. The worst thing is seeing everyone’s faces waiting patiently, mostly, while I rush in and fiddle with the cd player and get all my stuff set up. There’s this one girl that is amazing and knows me all too well that shows up early and has started to set up my stuff for me. God bless her. Anyway, the reason I’m saying all this, is i found a site that allows me to practice at home when I can’t make a class (not the one’s I’m teaching of course). My Yoga Online . It’s worth checking out if you want to get your yoga on but can’t make it to a class in time.
