Olivia Birdsall wrote to tell me that yoga instructor, Rodney Yee, had moved down the block from her in Manhattan. If I lived in Gramercy Park, I'd invite old Rodney over to show him my progress
in following his video. Maybe, I'd put a bra on and wash my hair and wear long sleeves, but maybe not. I think I could put a smile on his face. He'd be oh so polite. I'd serve him English black tea.
I committed to yoga by buying a mat and a block. Originally, I thought the carpet would be enough, but the truth is that you slide on the carpet. I refused to buy specialty workout clothes, but found what I'm wearing in a bottom drawer along with my swimming suit and goggles.
I should commit to losing twenty pounds, but I haven't put that on the list yet.
Thank you, Syl Carson, for inviting me to Monday morning yoga class. Maybe, when I've practiced enough with old Rodney . . .

I'm either falling or talking to the floor.

Is this a yoga pose? |

Notice the position of the legs--bahhaaaaah! |
Can I come to your tea with Rodney?
ReplyDeleteI like child's pose the most. It's blissfully simple.
