TGIF - the end of Week Two

Week two of teacher training draws to a close, and I'm happy to report that we are still alive :)

This is what the room looks like 3 minutes before class begins.

The week started off pretty rough because of the unexpected hell-like temperatures in the yoga room.  We had a late movie night midweek, which didn't help our energy levels.  But after hump day, things gradually started to look up.  

I feel like week one was about acclimating, and week two was about establishing a routine.  I've gotten comfortable with the rhythm of the schedule now.

Today is Friday, and it's been a fantastic day for me.  Two really good, strong yoga classes today because they eased up on the heat. It's amazing what kind of yoga you can do when it's not 140 degrees in the room.  

They surprised us tonight by giving us the night off after our 5pm yoga class ended.  My neighbor and I decided to get crazy and have a couple kombuchas at the hotel bar downstairs. That's a yogis version of a wild night out ;)

The real end to the week will be after tomorrow morning's 8am yoga class.  Your weekend here officially begins at 9:30am on Saturdays.

Sadly for me, I forgot to sign into one of my classes on Tuesday.  The "punishment" for forgetting to sign in (regardless of whether you're present in class, which I was) is doing a mandatory make up class on Saturday.  So I will join about 40 other forgetful people in a second 90-minute yoga class, tomorrow at 11am.  I'm actually looking forward to getting another double in tomorrow. And my weekend will begin at 12:30.  

Plans include renting a car to get away from the hotel, getting some food shopping done, studying dialogue at the beach with friends, and dinner out tomorrow night.  

Have a great weekend, everyone!
