I did Half Moon in front of Bikram


A couple of days go by and so much happens with this training, so many people are getting sick already, people getting carried out of class, people throwing up etc, and it's only our first week and this is suppose to be the easiest week so far, can you imagine how its going to be later on. I have had some tough classes but after my first class I decided to really pay attention to what I am putting into my body and how much water I am drinking, so far its working out great. My roommate Colleen and I just do the buddy system and help each other out no matter what, if we run out of water in class we share our water. My teachers at my studio did an amazing job on preparing me for this training and they weren't lieing when they said you practice right next to each other, you use each others towels, sweat drips on you from other people, butts get in your face, etc. yeah it's sounds disgusting but its part of the training, you learn that these are small things and you get over it.

So last night was movie night and Bikram decided to put one of his India movies on, I actually enjoyed it but it was a little dramatic, a little james bond slash Grease... LOL!!The movie was about 3 1/2 hours long, I am not lieing, Colleen and I took our pillows and my blanket, thank god for my blanket, we tried to get as comfortable as we could. Colleen has a metal rod in her back so she can't really sit for too long, so she ended up laying down on the floor. I believe we left around 2am last night. So class this morning was not very energetic, but the later class was much better.

Can you believe I finally got up on stage and did my Half Moon Posture in front of Bikram and the 300 plus students, his comment was Very Good, hey I will take it. Bikram is a funny man but has a potty mouth at the same time, he doesn't hold back anything, if you fat he tells you in front of everyone, if sound like a mouse he will tell you as well, some of these comments are embarassing but yet I find it funny and entertaining, let's see how I feel later, right? Anyways I gotta go to bed its around 1 am and I need some sleep. Here's a picture of me doing my dialogue.

That is great Linda! Sound like you're learning a lot and impressing Bikram. Keep up the good work.

If all reminds me of Basic training for the Military. A lot of hard word with the rewards coming later. Instead of half moons for fun on our last day we did full moons out of our barracks window. Good luck and enjoyed camping with you guys. Compared to where you are camping was a luxury spa. Love Jim and Toni
