and the yoga camp saga continues

last thursday, i somehow managed to get to the 6 am makeup class (1 down 2 more to go). a small class of 15 to 20 people instructed by a british barister now judge and also part-time yogi. followed by the regular 8:30 am class, a "back-to-back." then the 3rd one at 5 pm. and for anyone wondering what that is like ,the verdict:

-2nd class was really quick. my brain wasn't working at all, which made the class seem easier (i guess i was too tired to fight myself);
-3rd class was hard, but i struggled through it (actually, i did every single posture in all 3 classes. not bad for a beginner, eh?)

we finally completed the posture clinics friday afternoon. there is no more memorizing and performing the posture instructions. we also had the talent show friday evening, there were 26 something performances, mostly music, some dancing, comedy...some painfully bad performances and some quite brilliant. apparently someone proposed to someone at the very end of the program. i guess it was cool to see all the performers wanting to share a part of themselves with the large group. but then on the other hand, another couple of hours of your life planned by the yoga camp establishment.

saturday, a small group of us rented a car and went to a quiet beach on the northeast shore. we skipped the larger yoga camp bbq in waikiki and decided to have our own. later in the evening, i went to go meet another large group at a waikiki dance club. it was a nice mixed group there...i got back to my room at 4 am and slept until 8:30 am, when i miraculously jumped awake and began drinking obscene amounts of gatorade and water, in a desperate attempt to rehydrate and undo the previous night's activities. needless to say, i struggled through the not hot and pretty easy sunday class. tomorrow morning, tuesday at 6 am, yet another makeup class. 1 of 1 remaining.

and as i am counting, all the other yogis have started the countdown until the end of yoga camp. but in the meantime, the yoga camp saga continues...
