Morning class was taught by Ren again. He is exactly who we needed this morning after last night’s ass kicking class. Some people, me included, were still trying to catch their breath from last nights class. I drank so much water and this morning I still felt I wasn’t hydrated enough for class. My body must have been ready because it didn’t seem that was the case. I was surrounded by a group of people I have not practiced beside before, it was great. Ren has such great energy and I love how he teaches for and in the moment. We have only had two classes with him and both of them have been completely different. I like how he allows the energy of the room to guide him through the type of class he gives us.
After lunch we had posture clinic but a different style this time, it was held in the lecture hall. On Friday after finishing the second last posture of the series, each group got to decide who they wanted to represent them. The selected person got to say the final posture in front of everyone on stage with the microphone. Exactly how we started training with half moon in front of Bikram. There are about 21 visiting teachers and they were all there to give feedback today. Each group got to go on stage and perform the posture while the selected person said the dialogue. It was a fun way to end posture clinic in the last posture.
Our group had picked two girls to represent us, we didn’t want to have to choose one or the other. Luckily we had Michael Harris as a lead that day and he came up with the brilliant idea of solving our dilemma. Jennifer and Tracy had to arm wrestle to decide who would get to say it. Tracy won, and today before she said the posture on stage she announced that she won via arm wrestling. She told everyone that the evidence is posted on facebook and you tube. What a great way to begin the posture.
Posture clinic finished about an hour before we could be dismissed. We spent the last hour asking questions to the senior teachers that are here, giving us a chance to ask any questions we had about teaching. It was a great opportunity to pick the brain of the different teachers. Each teacher had a little something to say about each question, building onto the reply of the previous teacher.
Bikram taught evening class again. Tonight was a ninety minute, no time to think, move your ass class, it was great. He was once again calling people out on postures, but it was more towards corrections than making fun of them tonight. He used many 'Bikramisms' tonight, but my favorite was "this is not an amusement park, this is not the place to be lazy, this is not Disneyland", lol. Oh I'm going to miss him. He told us at the end of class that tonight’s class was our best class yet. Last night someone asked Bikram if we could watch the American Presidental election tonight as the votes come in. He told us we would all gather in the lecture hall to watch it all go down. But tonight as he walked out of the hot room he said tonight was the best he has seen from us and then announced that we get the night off.
YIP-EEE
