Day 66: Ashtanga
Posted in Hatha Yoga on 11/05/2009 01:41 pm by DonnaWhen I got to class, there was a girl that came in and sat next to me. She started texting while she was stretching in an inverted pose. I couldn’t help but smile, trying not to laugh out loud. It seemed like an oxymoron to be texting in yoga class where you are suppose to be looking within and maybe meditating and bringing your mind to a peaceful state. People are really addicted to texting these days.
Today I felt a little over my head. There we lots of teachers in class who knew what they were doing. The instructor had us adjust each other in downward dog. This nice girl came over and adjusted me, but I didn’t know what to do to adjust her. I wish the instructor could have explained this more. During class, I found myself bothered by the BO of another girl next to me. Then the instructor had us partner up to help each other with half moon pose. He put me with the smelly girl who actually turned out to be really nice. The smell didn’t bother me the rest of the time. It’s funny how we sometimes have to do things we don’t want to do to really grow as human beings and get “unstuck” in our minds.
