I am not at the dentist's office

The construction guys are really closing in on us. Even before I rolled out my mat at 6:00 am, there was much hammering and sawing going on. It's not hard to imagine how jumpy I all got when the wailing of a saw was piercing through my head. It reminded me of a dentist's drill. Our former studio on the second floor is totally enveloped in plastic sheeting. The little studio on the third floor that we currently occupy has had a couple of beams and reinforcement put in.

So much for driste. My mind was chewing over all sorts of little details: what was going to be happening at work, how I was going to make my little outfit for Burning Man with glow wire, what I was going to do in Vancouver this weekend...

Sure enough, I had just one adjustment this morning where the diver stomps on my thighs like he's crushing grapes while I'm doing supta varasana (yes, a totally criminal pose that I do after laghu vajrasana). I can totally relax into it so it's not totally challenging.

So before my final pose, I ask the Diver to do a little forward bending acroyoga. He lies on my mat and balances me with my hips resting on the soles of his feet. He holds my hands as I bend forward. He stretches out my midsection and twists me around like I'm a piece of chewing gum. It feels great. I have to keep my eyes closed though, because it feels so intimate. But it totally makes up for the lack of adjustments that morning.

When we're done, I see that he goes over to Mr. A and helps him with an adjustment in raja kapotasana. The Diver pins Mr. A's shoulders back with his knees and Mr. A's head is bending back to reach his toes. It's an awesome post. But I can't help but wonder what would happen if Mr. A's head snapped forward like a loaded spring. Yikes.

Not that it would ever happen.

Yoga golden oldie

OK, what a tough crowd this is to please.

To address the mature readers of this blog, here's Sting doing a funky version of primary in his undies for a pre-show warmup in 1993. He still has a lot of his hair! I'm impressed with how well he does. Well, I suppose his arms in chat could be a little closer to his body.

But I'll just leave it up to the rest of you to offer your thoughts, fan notes, etc.

Yoga babe discovery

As Arturo noted, we're all taking up the slack to make our blogs funnier and raunchier.

So this is a shameless post to sex up my blog with pics of some random yoga pr0n. If you click on his website, you'll see an NSFW photo of him doing a nice eka pada bakasana. His knee could be much farther up to his armpit and his butt checks don't appear to be totally level, but hey, who's complaining?
