biKRAM IT.

Uh oh. There must have been some hot towels flying yesterday. It’s a day for wearing green, you see. And that is outlawed in Bikram’s yoga studio in LA. Why, you ask? Because Bikram doesn’t like that color. And he owns the place. So you’re not allowed to wear it.

And if you decide you want to try Bikram yoga in Manhattan Beach, you must place your water bottle to the left of your mat. Or else. You’ll get a talkin’ to. Water on the right– THE HORROR! It’s odd, especially for a hobby that’s supposed to be accepting and calming.

I’m on my 7th year of this stuff, and I’ve always felt something was a little off, especially with the instructors. They’re Stepford Instructors and their scripts are too familiar. “Extend your right foot to make a standing ‘L’. An L like Linda.” I’ve taken classes in Spain, London, San Francisco, LA, and NY, and everyone seems to know this Linda lady. Who the hell is Linda? And what the hell is a Japanese ham sandwich? I had no idea the Japanese even ate ham sandwiches. But for seven years, every single instructor has told me to bend my body into a Japanese ham sandwich. Maybe they mean a bowl of rice.

I have decided not to go to Bikram yoga. I don’t want to be a ham sandwich anymore. Not a Japanese one or an American one. But mainly, I don’t want to give any more money to this guy. The thought that a portion of my 10-class package went into this outfit, that car, or that hairstyle makes me want to hurl ham at every Linda I meet.

pleather shirt AND white pants?

I have to show my thanks to you just for rescuing me from such a scenario. Because of searching through the the web and seeing tricks which are not productive, I assumed my life was gone. Being alive without the strategies to the issues you’ve fixed by means of your main short post is a crucial case, and the kind which may have badly damaged my career if I hadn’t discovered your blog post. Your own personal talents and kindness in touching every aspect was valuable. I am not sure what I would have done if I had not discovered such a point like this. I am able to at this point look forward to my future. Thanks so much for your professional and effective guide. I won’t hesitate to refer your blog to anybody who needs assistance about this matter.
