Today I will leave "the compound" for my first time since coming....except for the quick runs on Saturday to the local Walmart to buy food and electrolyte solutions......and I am mighty excited......My first chance to see any of Acapulco....we are taking a tour...and I don't really care what we go to see!
Last night we got the offer of an evening off.....but only if everybody stayed on their mats and upright for the entire class....no sitting, no kneeling, no barfing in the back of the room.......I felt so bad for the folks who were really suffering....for as soon as someone even looked like they were going to quit, all three hundred of us began to urge them to hang in there.......one woman had to be carried out after class and taken to the clinic for an IV......It was quite the experience.
And now Bikram can always remind us (and none too gently) that when we are sufficiently motivated, we can complete class! "NO LAZY ASSES!"
We have finished with anatomy......and spent most of the past week doing posture clinic, which is a huge challenge for those of us who are not great with memorization. But we forge along, and the teachers keep assuring us that "eventually and in the future" we will find that dialoug just flowing out of us.
We will see.
I hope you all are well back in Columbia.
Namaste

And my friends you will do more than survive. Know that you are not lazy and learning to detatch your self is the lesson. The training is full of lessons, memorizations and lots and lots of yoga. I am so proud of the two of you, I can barely hold back my enthusiasm.
I can say your outlook is bright you are thinking of changing your point-of-view, frame of reference which is neccessary for storing info from the dialogue, So yeah go out and take some pictures do something very different. Peserverance, that will coinincide with your ability to detach yourself. I know you can do it. I have no doubt that Kat and the Columbia crew has prepared you! I love you both, call write text if you need some chat time 301-328-6258 1badbikramyogi@gmail.com Misty
