I have made an observation.
Whenever I go out with friends who do Bikram yoga, there is an extremely high probability that at LEAST one person will end up demonstrating standing head to knee in jeans outside a bar before the night is out.
Last night that person was me. I was designated driver, so I was not drunk, and I was trying to make a very important technical point!!!
I was out last night with my roommate and a couple of new girl friends who I've met through yoga. One of the girls had just finished her first 30-day challenge, and she seriously powered through it - she missed 5 or 6 days in the middle because she got sick, and ended up doing 4 doubles in 5 days in the last week. Teacher-training style!! Clearly, I had to buy this girl a Guinness. We went to this really chill lounge on the outskirts of town that played Beatles music and gave you fresh popped popcorn with your beer. Played 4 rounds of pool, told stories, talked yoga, all wonderful. For some reason, once we stepped out of the bar (with the intention of going home), we REALLY got into the shop talk and couldn't shut ourselves up until we realized it was 1am on a weeknight.
The funniest moment was when one friend was trying to describe the problem she has in toe stand, and ended up just doing the posture on the curb in her jeans. This feat impressed the HECK out of a group of 4 tipsy girls who were passing by. They were pretty effusive with their compliments! "Some kinda crazy gymnastics shit!!" "In jeans!!"
Yep. Yoga dorks. Sometimes the yoga, it just... happens. That's just how we roll....
