Ah Bikram
I started back at Bikram Yoga (that's the hot yoga) in December. Yesterday I went to a 3-hr posture clinic followed by a class, which was kind of fun. The instructor is the Canadian champ, and I think 2nd place in the world! She seemed much more interested in answering questions from the participants from the Victoria studio rather than the "outsiders" (even though some of us, myself included, had driven an hour to go to the clinic) and she kind of dismissed my questions.
I do wonder if she was actually put off by the fact I wore this into the studio when I arrived:

The ultra-rare Canada hoodie from Lululemon. You see, some Yogis and yoginis are a little pissed off at Lululemon (a yoga-wear company) for selling out- going public about 4 years ago and starting to manufacure in china. I was a little too, but I just really liked the hoodie.
The other day when I wore it into my regular studio, conversation stopped and girls looked at me in envy.
OK, so gettting away from lululemon-envy...
In my regular studio, there's a girl who wears bikini tops, practiclally falls out of them in some of the postures, and has a total white-trash belly-ring charm that is a fake diamond the size of my thumb. Gross. She's pretty cute, but it's just really distracting to see a nipple in class.
OK- so yesteraday in my clinic, the instructor was wearing theis tiny bra-top thing, blue and purple zebra print, and SHE was falling out of it! Just- wear something that flatters and FITS. Please.
There were some VERY flexible people in that class. One was really quite remarkable. ABout 5'8" and 90 lbs. Pale white. Very flexible but not technically very good. She mentioned that she had trouble getting out of the postures, so she's probably lacking some of the core strength required.
So today I am just about so sore I can't move. i think I worked really hard yesterday!
