Ann Marie is a Massachusetts girl, we used to practice together all the time! Did you see how well she did?! She got SECOND in the U.S. She was AMAZING!!<br /><br />Michelle - As I remember, you didn't chicken out, you got sick and went to the freaking hospital. Next year you have to do it!!<br /><br />traci - CBopp made it a day late but still got to do his routine - yay. He looked great.<br /><br />Duffy - I still say that I'd pay 20 bucks to anyone who'd do savasana as an optional.

I was kinda out of it cause I was blown away by how amazing the women were. I'd never seen the women's competition before and it's on a whole other level from them mens (maybe 2 or 3 levels). I didn't know you placed third last year! Anyways, I love the blog and your writing! Keep it up! It helps feed my yoga obsession and fills the time in between classes...DodgerRogerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13910780979227391745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-293128322275014537.post-9174821008036248792010-02-15T20:22:35.953-08:002010-02-15T20:22:35.953-08:00Juliana, I just discovered this web site and think...Juliana, I just discovered this web site and think is genius! I was hoping to find a place for people that love this yoga. I really liked this entry on your blog. Your description of the first time you went onstage described my experience completely and completely unexpectedly I got third place as well. I think you know I wrote a blog documenting my training leading to LA on blog.com. Chat with you soon.

Not the same as the little kids doing competitive tap dancing, the stuff that made me gag!!! <br />Even I know what Savasana is.

But something in the back of my mind keeps reminding me of what Bikram has said about yogis and contortionists. If they ever did get asanas into the Olympics, I'm afraid the contortionists would win out.Duffy Pratthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05160837024667969180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-293128322275014537.post-13666043374701584642010-02-11T16:42:21.133-08:002010-02-11T16:42:21.133-08:00Oh!

I was...Thanks so much for sharing your experience! I was asked by a teacher last summer if I would compete in the fall. I said "no way are you kidding! I can't even touch my forehead to my knee in standing head to knee!" She said "we'll get you there. We want to get some of the regulars involved and show some variety". I chickened out and didn't do it but it would have pushed me to grow as a yogi for sure and perhaps encouraged other "older/not skinny" people that were watching to go try out Bikram yoga. Sort of like, heck if that chick is up there maybe I could do this too! <br />I don't have to tell you to have fun this weekend. I know you will. **big hugs from Vegas**bikramyogachickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685444498620345130noreply@blogger.com
