Led, with whimsy
Posted in ashtanga yoga on 06/06/2009 05:48 pm by karenWent to led primary this morning. Nice. Crowded. Sanskrit Scholar was in the building, doing a teacher training. Managed to get a hug and “congratulations” in — she and Volleyball Guy are getting married at the end of this month. The British Director was also in attendance, as was the daughter of one of the A2 co-op shala members.
Muscle Man led. A regular primary, a few poses from intermediate and — oddly & whimsically (but rather fun), a few minutes spent on natarajasana.
One of the women brought along a male friend. He soldiered through diligently. As we were leaving the room, she asked him, “Do you want to go get something to eat?”
“I think I’m going to go home and lie on my couch,” he replied. “For the rest of the day. And maybe tomorrow.”
Another Ashtangi is born.

cute!
I get such a kick out of watching an obvious jock try the practice- it’s fun to see them realize they’ve discovered yet another thing to challenge them.
I often want to lie on the couch, too.

Um, I want to lie on the couch every time I practice. That’s bad, right????
