week 5!

Another one down!! Week 5 was a VERY physical week, the yoga was really intense all week long. We had the 2010 international yoga champion here for the week and she was amazing!! You’ve never seen a real life gumby until you see her do a demonstration! She taught an evening class and I don’t think I’ve ever had my ass more soundly and roundly kicked. Period. ( Ask James, he’ll tell you!!) The next morning when we went down for the first padahastasana you could hear a collective groan from the room! Awesome! Then the next night (Friday) we had the international champ from 2008 and pretty much the same thing! Round two of ass kicking commences! I haven’t been so happy to see the weekend come since I’ve been here. I slept so much on Sunday that it was almost ridiculous. I was trying to do dialogue and I’d wake up and 2 hours would have passed. That happened a few times! Then I dreamed dialogue all night. Not only did I dream dialogue but I dreamed I was doing it wrong!! Talk about a LONG night! -_-

We did our CPR on Friday so I’m now certified. It was actually really fun, lots of play acting and thumping on chests all around! I’m feeling pretty good right now, strong and rested. This week will probably be another really hard one so I’m trying to mentally prepare myself. We’re moving into the spine strengthening series in posture clinic so I’m studying like crazy. (hence the dreaming I guess) I have no idea what the lecture schedule is since they like to keep us in the dark so it’s always a surprise. I can’t believe we’re in week 6! Time is literally flying by! They keep telling us we won’t want to leave by the time week 9 arrives, we’ll all be wanting to stay for another week. I have one thing to say to that: wanna bet?? I can’t wait to go home, I’ve never been more excited to go home, I will go home with a big wave to everyone and say “see you on Facebook”!! Not that I’m not loving this experience, it’s truly amazing and a once in a lifetime thing, but I’m really looking forward to seeing my family, my animals, and to teaching my first class! Can’t wait to kill em just a little bit….
