Mark taught morning class and it was beyond awesome, if there is such a thing. It was fun and laid back, well once we got to the floor series for sure. When we came to full locust (fly like an airplane), someone in the room made a cawing noise like a bird, that was a first. So once we got into the posture Mark told us to make bird sounds. I was having so much fun he could have held me there for a minute and I wouldn’t have noticed. When something like that happens in class it totally loosens everyone up, not that we were tense to begin with. Once we started the sit ups, he had us practice the wave. He wants to blow away Bikram's mind when he gets back and thinks it would be funny if we did the sit up in a wave like fashion. We tried a couple different ways and I think he found one that would set Bikram off. Too bad he isn’t going to be here when Bikram gets back to check it out.
After lunch we had more lecture with Jon, the fascia guy. He talked about fascia; which is like saran wrap around our bones, muscles and tissues in the body. He also went into the heart, bones, muscles, tissues; the different elements in the body that contain and retain energy. He keeps us all interested by using a lot of props, stories and examples. He brought volunteers up on stage and wrapped them in saran wrap to give us a visual idea of what he was talking about. He made another volunteer dress in a wet suit to describe another element. He uses pictures, and passes pictures to explain something else. He also tells us real life stories and encounters to better explain his theories and thought process. He’s very good at breaking things up into small parts so we understand and then bringing it all back together to get the whole picture.
He got challenged on some of the things he was saying, and he said he embraces and encourages that. He had an answer for everything and usually incorporated examples or stories to back it up. It was funny to listen to some peoples questions as a lot of the same questions were being asked just using different scenarios. Not everyone is going to understand or grasp everything he says, and that’s a good thing, that’s what makes us all uniquely different. It is cool to sit back and be the observer of people who such a resistance against learning new things though. Not just with this but it’s a perfect example of how it comes up or out.
Evening class was taught by Mike again. The class sounded exactly like the one he gave us earlier this week. He told us the exact same stuff and lines about medical benefits in the same postures. The first time he said it I remembered it because sometimes the way he says things or the words he uses I’ve never heard it put that way before. Therefore when he repeated all the same stuff again tonight I was a little bored and it made me want to tune out. It felt a little hotter in there tonight but it was a little warmer when we first walked in the room so I think the room was heated before class started again.
We had more evening lecture with Jon. He answered any and all questions anyone had about everything he has talked about. It had been a couple hours since our last lecture with him so people had some time to let the info sink in and let the mind process it, therefore more challenging questions. He ended the night talking about disease. That was like opening up pandora’s box, the hands started shooting up like crazy. He told us some more stories to back up his beliefs and had an answer for everything. I don't necasarly believe everything he says but I really listen to everything he had to say. It's interesting seeing how different people react to having their belief system challenged. Its always scary to hear about something you don’t know too much about, challenges you and what you have always thought to be true and believed in. Eleni and I stayed up past 1am talking about this interesting lecture. Very fascinating.
