From the Middle of The Storm…

Hey guys! This week, things are a bit crazier than last week. Posture clinic has gone up to speed and this is taking all my time, sleep and happiness [just kidding, the happiness is still there]

Physically, I am very tired and sore (as the training progresses, the classes are getting tougher and hotter). However, I just set up an appointment for a 1-hour deep-tissue massage on Sunday so I should be recovered after that;-)

Mentally, I am also tired and looking for the weekend. However, the days are long but not that intense, so I feel less mentally tired than at work.

For those who don’t know yet the mechanics of the posture clinic (it must be most of you as I haven’t explained them yet):

• We are covering each of the 26 postures and 2 breathing exercises of the Bikram Series. For each posture, we have an initial lecture and Q&A with the senior teachers to discuss the key challenges of the posture
• Then we are divided in 8 groups (40 people each) where each of us has to perform the dialog verbatim (word by word), teaching the posture to a group of (mock) students, in front of the group
• Each posture has about a page of dialog that we have to learn by heart. It started taking me 4-5 hours per posture. After improving my memorizing method, now I am bringing the time down and my goal is to spend 2 hours per posture
• Since  we are covering one posture per day at the current speed, this is bring my sleep time down (although my strategy is to advance as much as possible during the weekend so I can sleep a bit)

I am really looking forward to the weekend!!!!!

My schedule this week is pretty busy these days:

(1) Wake up at 7:15am (get up at 7:30am)
