A little vent
Hopefully this will be my last wah-wah post on this topic. I'm pretty irked with my yoga center right now. They left a message making it pretty clear that if I go to the wedding, I won't be welcome back. I thought yoga was supposed to be about "love and compassion" (IN THEIR WORDS!) They even went so far as to call it "love school." Ha - no love if you break their rules.
There, that felt better. The class itself I actually enjoyed. The 5 hours flew by. The woman at the front desk said it was almost 7 and I was amazed. I thought it was 5:30. I liked how they slowed down all the postures and we did "assists", where you adjust your partner in a pose. At first I was very shy about touching strangers but then I got used to it.
There are a whole group of teachers in the program. The one today is very strident and in-your-face. She told us to get some water at one point, and a few people lingered outside the room, talking as they drank their water. I was already inside, knowing full well that she is anal. She leaned out the open doors and yelled, "I SAID GET WATER, NOT A BREAK!" She turned to the rest of us and said, "I'm usually easygoing, but when I say go get water, it's not a break."
Wow. And I thought I left behind this kind of behavior when I left the corporate world. At any rate, she won't be teaching again for 2 weeks.
In other news, poor D got lost on the bike ride he took during my yoga class. He won't be home for another hour.

you know, you would think yoga folk would be a bit more flexible (no bad pun intended).
that's just kind of yucky.
