DAY 16: Funny Booming Today!

Posted on by Rina Jakubowicz

Hey yoga teachers,

So today was a funny booming day.  I was practicing at the 24-hr Fitness in Coconut Grove before my 6pm class when six people came in to use the spinning bicycles.  Is that what they are called?  Anywho, I am right in front of the bikes with my back to them, but there’s a mirror in front of me so I can see them in my peripheral vision.  I naturally decide to close my eyes as to not get distracted.  They start speaking to one another in what seems to be French or Creole.  The only word I understood was the word “yoga” as it was interspersed in between their laughter and giggles and what seemed to be either insults or confusion towards my body positions.  Good thing I still can’t do “leg behind my head.” 🙂

At one point they were talking and laughing so loud I spiraled my body to face them in a Hanumanasana and closed my eyes.  But through my eyes, I was sending laser beams of “SHUT THE HEY UP! Please… 🙂 ” AND THEY DID!!! It was silence for those 10 breaths while I was in that pose.   I really didn’t think such negative thoughts but it made for a more interesting story… In fact, I was thinking “I wonder if they will shut up if I face them.”  And they did! Oh yeah, you already read that part.  Regardless, I thought it was so funny and childish that they probably thought I couldn’t hear them with my back to them and that they were literally talking BEHIND my back, although there was a mirror in front of us.  I really wish I understood French so that I could turn around after they were finished with their remarks and surprise them with an awesome comeback like, “Voulevous couche avec muo, sesua?”  lol!  No more like, yoga ees badaiss soo don’ knock eet unteel ju triee eet!  Ie dare ju…. lol!!!

Anywho, how was your booming session today?

Namaste self,

Rina
