I've already discussed my difficulties with weekend classes, as it's a break from my Monday-Friday routine. So I won't go over that again right now. It was the usual difficult Sunday class for me, but overall it went Ok. It was nice and hot with close to 60% humidity. But I thought I'd write about something I love about Sunday classes.
For a variety of reasons, the Sunday 3 PM class is stuffed with experienced and great yogis. One of the reasons is that Advanced Class is at 5 PM, so a lot of those guys do the 3 PM as their "warm up." Then recently we have some visiting teachers, as well as some of the people on teacher training. The trainees have Sundays off, but a few of them come in and do class on their day off! That's some serious dedication.
Needless to say, I don't go in the front row on Sundays. Not because I'm worried about a rough class, but honestly I'd rather be behind these super great yogis so I can watch them for any subtle things about the postures. It's awesome. So I set up in the second row and got to watch all of these incredible yogis do their thing. Very inspiring.

There is advanced class in Vegas on Sundays?!? Oooooh... that sounds... well, not advisable... but very very tempting....
ReplyDeleteThat is so cool! My studio doesn't have advanced (tear) so it's great that you get to see them coming in and warming up. Incredible!
ReplyDelete"Warm up" = beginner's class + slacking. Very glamorous.
ReplyDelete100 classes in 96 days. Wow! Have a great Monday.
ReplyDeleteJ, there's actually 2-3 advanced classes per week at my studio. When you come out, I imagine it'd be fine for you to drop in for it.
ReplyDeleteOk SWEET, I will totally be hitting that up. (I have such a one-track mind.)
ReplyDeleteI've never been invited to advanced. I'm going to roll myself up into J's mat and sneak in!
ReplyDeleteDon't most studios try to keep the advanced sessions under the radar? As I understand it, there are only a handful of people approved to be teaching advanced in the first place. Also, I think if you want to get invited, you pretty much first would have to ask.
