I am reminded today of my first time taking a bikram yoga class- hot, sweaty, smelly- I wanted to scream and run out of the room. But I stayed, and three years later, I am hooked. Today I took class next to someone who just could not stop moving, breathing heavily, and doing some kind of arm swinging that I swear could land planes! I have had times in the past where there would be heavy breathers next to me (in class, I mean) and it would drive me crazy! Today was different. Maybe it’s because I am “evolving” as a yogi? Is the light feeling in my head a new found enlightenment, or just day two of a detox that I am doing that is making my head spin? Either way, my first instinct wasn’t to rip my classmates arms off- I just breathed- and let him do the same.
My next class is Thursday- I hope the heavy breather stands somewhere else- just in case…
