One week down, six more to go. Today was Day 8! Cool kind of class today but the humidity was up and I had lots of space. There is a new karma yoga program at my studio which involves four hours of work per week at the studio in exchange for free classes. I would say this is a pretty good deal, especially for students, and it makes sense for studio owners. I'd been wondering when they might start up with this program. However, I wouldn't go for it. I have done work exchanges before and I always end up feeling like I'm getting the crap end of the stick. I understand the concept of karma yoga, but at this point in my life, workin' for free just ain't my thing. I would rather get a different part time job and use the money I earned to pay for my yoga package. I enjoy giving in other ways. OK, I just hate chores!
The karma yoga program changes the energy of the studio. There's a kind of disorganized buzz going on and I'm not sure if I like it. The thought occurred to me that I hope none of the work traders try to pull a fast one, which surprised me. I will ponder this a bit more and try to have an open mind.
Anyway, I feel great, my back is feeling pretty good, and I am proud to have made it to class through a busy weekend that included a crazy, late night out on the town.
I don't have too much to say, today, but a funny quote I heard from a teacher a few classes ago:
"Sit on your knees, Japanese style. If you're Japanese, just sit."
I *love* this kind of humour. YukYuk :)
