Thursday June 5th was our last day of teacher training yoga classes
Thursday June 5th was our last day of yoga classes. Rajashree taught our morning class, and Bikram taught our evening class and I am torn between jubilation and sadness at nearing the end of this journey. Craig Villani has been a great guide on our tour, he kept us in line while Bikram was gone, gave us excellent advice and guidance, and taught a really awesome class Wednesday evening, and I stood tall through all three classes! It has been a struggle this last week because the small amount of dehydration and weight loss is starting to really catch up with me and I really feel weak in the morning, but I got a bottle of electrolytes from my room mate and that has helped a huge amount. I also began bringing my special orange cooler with me everywhere with either a combination of ice, water, gatorade, electrolytes, whatever I can mix together that will help me stay up during class. I am always thirsty these days, considering I sweat like a fountain in the yoga room. Here is a picture of one of my talented and strong yoga friends from Canada with my orange cooler. Almost everyone has one, and they are great because when someone runs out of water after class, there is usually someone with some type of liquid left in the cooler to share. They were dubbed the orange maracas because that is exactly what they sound like when shaken with ice and whatever else you want to mix up for class, whether it was gatorade, pedialyte, or just a good old healthy dose of water.
