I have to admit: we had a substitute teacher today who has given ok classes in the past. Today, we did poses using a stretch band.

I hated it; I left feeling less serene than when I walked in.

So, this will be my last class until the regular teacher gets back; actually, until I get back from a math conference in two weeks. Still, I'll put in 40-60 minutes daily on my own.


What does this photo have to do with anything? Nothing much really; I wanted to have something positive to say. Today was one of those days were nothing major went wrong, but I kept getting "sand in my shoes and shorts", so to speak. Everything grated on me.

Update: I went to class the next day. I really enjoyed it; we did lots of stuff that was difficult for me, including akward pose and back bends using the balance bar.

This is from http://www.bikramyoga.com. What I have to remember about this teacher is that she is very creative, and no one likes all of anyone's creations. And my wife liked last evening's workout, as did other students.

I guess that yoga sessions are a bit like flavors; not everyone likes every flavor.

Update II: someone at yoga.com pointed out that I can always honestly say "thank you for your time" to a substitute, no matter how bad the class was, as they are freely giving up something to have the class to begin with. I just hate it when someone points out that I was being a horse's ass.
