Why are you here then?

I went to Mandy's arm balances and hip openers workshop at Yoga Yoga on Sunday. It was super packed, probably because Yoga Yoga offers this Beat the Heat special where you buy 20 classes for $199 and you get the month of August free, which includes workshops. This is not a beginner's workshop yet I'm certain there were beginners there. Mainly because every time Mandy would demonstrate or have someone demonstrate a pose we were about to do, people would say things like, "Wow!" or "Yeah, right." or "Sure, I can do that." Yes, she makes it look very easy, but she is also very good at teaching her students how to get into the pose in the first place. I wanted to ask some of these people why they were there if they were so sure they couldn't even try what she was proposing. It's a workshop on arm balances and hip openers. Plus there were a lot of friends in the room, so it was quite a noisy workshop. I was irritated.

And then I was irritated at myself for being irritated. There are so many people who have no idea about the benefits of yoga and all these people, even the beginners, were at least there to experience it. So who am I to think that these people shouldn't have come to the workshop? Exactly.
