Tammy,
Recently I went to yoga class and there were people hanging out chatting before, during, and afterward. I started to wonder why I don’t chat with others when I go to class.
Let’s see, first, most of the students are women and they seem to know each other. What would I say? Where did you get those yoga pants? That might be odd coming out of my mouth and perhaps an unintentional, unwanted, flirtatious, pre-class gesture. During class I don’t talk with anybody but once in a great while I hear some discussions in a corner of class. Maybe I should flip my dog a number of times to get over there and join the chat. Say, this might even provide some laughter for the talkers and be a great ice breaker. After class, I like to be in solitude in the glow of my mind cleansing; maybe I could hug everybody and we could share our sweat together.
What do you think of these ideas for a start at socializing with my fellow yogis?
