The last photo is of one of the students daughters being spun around like an airplane in floor bow posture. If we could all have her flexibility who would need a hot room! I guess some of the students here are that lucky....
Arnie and I are almost to these positions after just one week of advance training! With us teaching you when we get back you too can look like these guys! :)
At one point this week, I thought, why are we here when we could be in the comfort of our 105 degree studio? Well, Bikram was is a great mood most of the week and class ended up being a lot of fun. There were days when it would have been a bit difficult to follow if you had never taken advance before but there were a few "teaching" days that gave us all time to "try the right way".
As always, with anything to do with Bikram, there are always something that happens. Since the training, is in the lobby of a hotel,yes, you can stand in the lobby and see through the windows as the students strut or show their stuff. (Let's just hope the stuff is a posture and not something else....) Yes, please wear short that cover all the basis! Anyway, strange as it is, the hotel has units that are individually owned and people live there. You can image what kind of scene we are in the midst of their "peaceful" Hawaiian lifestyle. Several residence wonder down during class to make sure the doors are not open. This is the worst for the students since the yoga room has NO ventalation and we rely on the days the Bikram allows the door to be cracked to let in some air. The lobby mind you is open to the outside so it is not airconditioned but it is much cooler than in the room. I kept wondering what was the big deal with the door opening, we are not waisting their electricity. I finally come to understand that the residence wanted the door shut due to the smell! Yes, and they would kick whatever was keeping the door propted open to make their point!
One thing for sure there was never a dull moment.....
