have you ever picked a fight with a peace loving zen hippy that's one with the world and just loves humanity? i have! what kind of high level evil bitch am i to not get along with get alongers?

don't answer that.

the late bikram yoga class has 3 people showing up at the most, so the instructors point out and constantly say the student's names trying to correct their form. "joy, you have to but your feet behind your head by lifting your thumb. no, not like that, lift through your coccyx." etc. 90 minutes of it. some people respond to such guidence. but it just made me angry! this is my journey! (i have some problems with sharing). i'm more about the meditation with the yoga and it's hard to transcend this world with some granola breath barking at me that i have no knee.

i was trying to convey that i don't like being singled out, but she didn't pick up the vibe. when she came over to me while we were in locust pose, i recoiled like a snake and just shut down. i interrupted her in her spiel and told her i was going to take a break, and she scurried away, a little hurt and surprised.

i felt bad, but different methods work with different people. i'm not trying to be a pro yogi or anything, just let me and my bad form be. i'll get something through it on my own somewhere. when it comes to instruction and authority, i tune out and rebel.

this is the second instructor i've rebufffed. i pay for these classes, they work for me. yoga is supposed to bring peace and tranquility to your life, but so far it's been a little confrontational.
