Tammy,
It was really hot tonight in your class. We were 15 minutes into the class and I had to take off my shirt. It’s taken me awhile but I think I may have gotten over the body image and body hair neuroses; even if I didn’t, we were now talking about avoiding heat exhaustion. I am sure the other students were overheating too and didn’t have the chance to worry about my skeletal deformities. As a guy I was pretty lucky that I had the luxury of going topless. Sorry ladies, you get revenge when I exit the studio and regular people see me in yoga clothing. I was thinking that if it was this hot, I should be getting a tan. Perhaps the the studio should invest in some tanning lamps.
Without a shirt it was still pretty unbearable. I felt delusional and then all of a sudden I was doing Warrior III. I had been trying that pose with you for months and now my dehydrated brain didn’t have the chance to think about any balance or fear issues. I just followed your instructions and nothing else claimed any cerebral space. All I had to do was look over at you and imitate what you were doing. It was monkey see, monkey do.
If your yoga studio does change over to heated classes, I think they should serve cold beers after such an experience.
