This morning’s class was taught by Rajashree. Yep she is back for this week, and is going to be teaching every morning class this week. The room seemed a little hotter today but still manageable. They have been opening the doors at the end of the floor series to bring more air in. I am not sure if they did that today, I actually didn’t think about it until right now. Rajashree gave us the exciting announcement before class that we don’t have posture clinic today.
After lunch we headed to the lecture hall. The visiting teachers were introduced and then Mark brought three demonstrators up on stage. We did a little mini posture clinic while we waited for Rajashree to arrive. He had one person from each group come up to say their next posture in front of the whole group on the stage. Mark wanted us to be relaxed and have some fun so he made people say their dialogue with accents, sing, or hand gestures. The one who got the biggest applause was a lady who took on a southern accent. Oh my word, we were hollowing the way she pronounced some of the words; “come up ya’ll”, lol.
Another girl imitated Bikram and at the line ‘747 taking off’, she followed it up with, ‘I have my own private jet and the stories I have about that thing’. Even Mark nearly fell off his chair when she said that. She wasn’t insulting him by any means but it was a pretty damn good impersonation of him.
Rajashree started lecturing at 2pm, starting with a power point presentation. She gave us an introduction to the yoga connecting it with spirituality, cancer, and science. I never heard anything really new but it never fails to hear it again, especially when Rajashree is talking about it. She wanted to give us just a little intro into it so we were warmed up for tonight when Dr.Choudray lectures.
Evening class was taught by a lady from Florida. The norm has now been for teachers to pull students (aka future teachers) onto the podium to say a posture. She did this tonight for two students for triangle; it is such an adrenaline rush to hear one of us up there again. It was another tougher class but I still made it through. I think they have turned up the heat, (which we were warned of) and are not opening the doors anymore. Oh well, all is fair at teacher training right!?

After supper we had more lecture from Rajashree. Tonight she brought Dr. Choudrey with her. He is a gynaecologist who also takes Bikram yoga. He admitted he tries to hide in the back away from Bikram by the door but Bikram always finds him. He told some jokes that were actually really funny, I enjoyed him as a speaker. We had the chance to write down questions and he answered them all. He had an answer for everything and it was always a medical answer but he was able to explain it in laymen’s terms so we could understand. Some of the answers included drawings on the white board but none the less easy to understand. We got let go just past 11pm.
