The last week in Acapulco

Well here it is the last week, the one I have been waiting for. Today I am super happy to know that I will be home very soon, yes I will probably miss this training but today I am just happy knowing that I will be home soon. 9 weeks is a long time to be away from your family, especially when you have been married for 19 years and never been away from your family more than a week.

So what happened last week, wow it was a very crazy week. We finished with our dialogue 2 weeks early and Bikram was back in action, kicking our butts at yoga with some late nights. He kept teasing us how he may give us a triple on Tuesday or Wednesday, he said we were strong and ready for it. So the days came and left and there we were Thursday and after our 5pm class they told us not to leave the room, then they started to bring his orange towel in and that's when we knew it was the day. With no preparation ahead, most of us had drank all of our water. He started with the pranayama breathing and when it came to the 2nd set we just said NO way, lets move on and we did. I tried very hard to stay positive and I did for all of the standing series, I was very proud of myself, my legs were shaking through most of it but I managed, by the time the floor series came, thats when I said OK, gotta go get me some water. For the first time, I knew it was ok to walk out and all I could say to myself is, ITS OK.. you have nothing to prove to anyone, just take care of yourself and I did. I can only imagine what it looked like to be in his shoes and see all the bodies running out of the room or dropping like flies, it was a mad house. Once class was over, then they annouce that lecture was still on, we were up till 2:30am that day, it was a very hard hard hard day for all of us.

The next day, I woke up feeling like a truck ran over me. Morning yoga was taught by an amazing visiting teacher from New York (Troy) he really tried to get us moving but we were all very sore or tired from the lack of sleep. I can tell you that I cried the whole standing series, I broke down so hard but I stayed in class and just tried to stay calm. I don't know what to expect this week and I don't even want to guess. Well its lecture time..gotta get ready
