Nice to hear he is bragging about us, that makes me feel good!

He thinks it's bad luck. There's a whole story there. He takes it pretty lightly - I personally think that people just enforce it for the fun of it - but you can save yourself a lot of trouble by just never wearing green when he's around.thedancingjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08976806717306797444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-293128322275014537.post-41649492331054349052009-11-24T18:38:34.592-08:002009-11-24T18:38:34.592-08:00okay, random Bikram question... what is the deal a...okay, random Bikram question... what is the deal about wearing green or rather 'don't wear green' yoga clothes for TT or Bikram classes?leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12129474113677593471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-293128322275014537.post-11750170796874451062009-11-23T15:37:58.199-08:002009-11-23T15:37:58.199-08:00Yelba, hooray!

I'm planning to go down on Dec 16th for a couple classes, then I'm back east for the holidays, and then I should be around pretty regularly in Jan and Feb.<br /><br />Jennifer - tricky question. I'd say pretty low, just above her waist, but I definitely wouldn't swear to that. <br /><br />cirita (and all interested!) - Bikram is in LA teaching at La Cienega anytime he's not traveling. But he travels a LOT. You can always call the front desk and find out whether he's on the schedule. The will tell you whatever they know. Sometime he teaches mid-week, too - he is teaching Thanksgiving morning! - but Sat 10am is the most common.thedancingjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08976806717306797444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-293128322275014537.post-48487219426478330782009-11-23T09:27:04.420-08:002009-11-23T09:27:04.420-08:00I love your posting!!!

One of my teachers was telling us Bikram stories in the lobby the other day, and I was totally cracking up - your post had me doing the same.<br /><br />Random question- when Bikram put his arm under the girl's back, which part the back (upper, middle, lower) does he put it under?
