Man, life is good! Where to start…..we are officially done with week 4. I still feel like a million bucks, although my body is definitely sore at this point. I did have a really great class yesterday morning though. I didn’t expect it to take 4 weeks (I thought it would be sooner) for my body to start to feel sore so I’m pretty happy about that.

So, how did week 4 go? Bikram has been out of town for the past two weeks so we have been getting a good amount of sleep each night, which really helps the cause. He is back this week and will be around until the end so who knows how the rest of it will play out. I have learned that it is best if you just stay present and stop trying to figure out what is going to happen tonight or tomorrow or this week or next week. You hear so many people talking as if they are in the know of what is happening or going to happen. Things change, things happen so it would be nice if some people would just stop acting as if they know more than others. And that brings me to my emotion of the week – irritation! Yes, I have been quite irritable. Not sure why. Maybe it’s because we’ve been doing the exact same thing for a month and we have still another month to go. Maybe it’s cause there is no privacy or time to just relax. Or, maybe it’s cause you hear people saying ridiculous things all the time and you just think to yourself ‘what the hell are you even talking about’. Just a bit of a rant there........sorry.

For the most part everyone here is doing really well. I am constantly amazed at the strength of everyone in class. We have had many of the staff teach this week, which has been really cool. It’s easy to forget that they are also teachers. They have all taught really wonderful classes – very inspiring.

Posture clinics – we are now working through Triangle posture, which is pretty much the half-way point in class. I have been doing well and am pretty happy about how I’ve done so far. I was a bit disappointed after Triangle on Friday cause I felt that I could have done a better job but I taught myself a good lesson. I wasn’t really feeling the energy of the posture clinic on Friday but I got up to say triangle anyways and I shouldn’t have – should’ve waited until Monday. Patience…..it slipped my mind.

We have our last anatomy test tomorrow. Our anatomy teacher, Dr. P was awesome. If all of my university professors were like him I may have gone to class more often! He knew how to keep our attention, even at 10 o’clock at night. He rocks – and is totally hilarious. He is an ER doctor and anatomy professor in Las Vegas and if he ever decides to quit his day jobs he could most definitely become a stand-up comedian. The other cool thing about Dr. P is that since he started teaching anatomy at teacher training in 2009 he has taken up Bikram yoga. So, while he was here he took most of the yoga classes with us, which is so cool. I have found that sharing the room with somebody is quite the bonding experience. You feel like you have an extra special connection with someone that you have practiced beside.

Ok – on to week 5. What will it bring? Who knows! I am still a bit surprised with myself cause it just seems to be going really well. I will continue to believe that I can do whatever I put my mind to. We have the power to convince ourselves of anything, whether it is be positive or negative. I just have to remember to take my own advice sometimes, especially when I feel myself getting worked up about something. It’s all a matter of perspective!

I'm in for the ride of the next 5 weeks and am very grateful for all the good that is in my life. Positive creates positive.

Hope everyone is well.
