Yoga

So I go to yoga in order to relax, turn off my brain and just let my body take over. Focus on breathing and holding the positions and also trying not to pass out or throw up because I do hot yoga and the room is about 95 degrees with hot steam pumped in. It is supposed to RELAXING! However, last night was annoying in the beginning but I tried very hard to just focus on breathing and focusing on my practice, not how I wanted to yell at the people in front of me. Yoga starts at 6pm and they lock the outside door because it is a small studio and the instructor signs you in, so we are getting started in class, focusing on breath and someone starts BANGING on the outside door. Dude, its 6:10, you missed your chance, the door is locked for a reason. Douchebag! So a mother and daughter come in and put their mats right in front of me facing the wrong way. Everyone else is facing forward, towards one wall but they are facing the middle of the room right in front of my mat, making a like a T, with me being vertical. (Okay, at this point I was trying to fight my instinct and not be annoyed at them) So as we start its clear that the mother has never been to a class like this before, its pretty intensive, she's doing all the poses wrong, isn't paying attention and the daughter is the same. The daughter was in much better shape so she could keep up but was still doing poses wrong right in front of me. Then the mother starts WHISPERING loudly to her daughter that the car doors aren't locked, so they rummage for their keys and the daughter leaves class to go lock the car doors. Probably wouldn't be an issue if they were on time, huh? The class continues and I was able to just focus on my practice and not get annoyed, sort of.
At the end of class we did a move we haven't done called reverse table-top, the top of the table is your stomach, then we were to exhale and bring our butt down and through our arms and hover. So, um slight issue here...well not slight...my ass. My booty don't fit through my arms. I start kind of laughing and look at the girl next to me who was also struggling, she looked at me and said: "My arms are too short!" Me: "My ass is too big!" Exact same problem for different reasons which we laughed about after class. Hopefully that mother-daughter pair stays out my class!
