a gift: part II

yesterday i finished my 5th bikram yoga class.

you may recall, Mr. REA generously signed me up for 30 days of yoga.

a gift.


bikram yoga looks something like this:

you're on a mat.
there is a towel on top of the mat.
there are 10-15 other people in the room.
all on mats.
with towels on their mats.

these other people are wearing anything from full sweat suits to biking shorts & sports bras.
some women are not wearing bras.
& some men are wearing speedos.

some men are shaven.
some men are hairy.
some women are hairy.

the room temperature is between 90-100 degrees.

everyone is sweating.
not regular sweating.
the kind where it is dripping off your skin
rolling down your face
into your eye balls
onto your towel.
soaking the towel.

you bend over
you inhale
you sniff your sweaty butt hole
you exhale.

you release.
you repeat.

for 90 minutes.
