Studying on rooftops is dangerous?
Today on breakfast/lunch break I was studying in the parking structure of Marriott across the street from this hotel on the top floor (roof top basically, 7 floors up). It’s a secret study spot I have where no yogis or yoginis are, and it’s peaceful and I watch planes take off and land in at LAX, and study with whatever time I have between eating and showering. I had to find secret spots weeks ago to escape everyone else muttering to themselves around here. We were actually banned from reciting yoga instructional on the lobby floor of Radisson here, because it was scaring people. Normally in high traffic areas I hold up my dialogue so people can see I am reciting, to avoid looking crazy; but not so much in my secret places…
I was really getting into Head to Knee with stretching pose, Janushirasana and Paschimotthanasana (I can pronounce this, I need a gold star) - this happens to be the one we delivered in posture clinic tonight, and I have to admit I delivered perfect verbatim dialogue, and it is the longest one we’ve delivered.) - Digression, in my secret study spot: basically I walk back and forth, repeating lines and over and over again to the air, with intense concentration on my face at first as I pick up lines. A guy was walking by. After he passed me and was gone for a second or two, he doubled back and asked, "ARE YOU OK!? You're not going to jump are you?!" (he was serious). I replied... "no! I'm studying!!!!!”
What a moment. Suffice to say I had to stop studying. The notion that my pacing and talking to myself appeared that I was going to commit suicide definitely jarred my concentration from then on.
I need to write more about week 6 or something soon. But you know - it gets hectic doesn't it? ;) I have a lot of thoughts rolling around in my head, especially about this whole posture clinic process. It has to be written down soon! But not now. I have to go to bed so I can get up early and study OUR LAST posture clinic posture tomorrow morning!!!
