Gypsy Sister

So I went to class this am..late! It was not at all intentional! I have the flu and took some cold medicine last night to help me sleep and woke up half and hour late! I arrived bleary eyed to see that they had made the space their own - they had the students facing a different direction, had the mirrors covered with cloth ( nice touch), and a large photo of Guruji in the centre. It was a whole new room! I apologised for being late and introduced myself. They were both welcoming and shook my hand and off I went. I did Primary out of respect to them so they could see my practice and where it was at. They both have very nice, strong adjustments. He, "Bob", didn't drop me on my head in backbends which is always a good start!! The last last couple to arrive did! So hey, he can't be all bad. I guess I'm still just feeling sensitive, like why are they getting a reception lunch when none of the other teachers (yes, like me) got that? Why are they being given celebrity status and the rest of us treated like plebs? There is a lesson to be learned here... Anyone?

It ends up that "Bob" was one of my friends teachers back in England. This ashtanga world is soooo small! I took them out for breakfast after practice and talked a little but "Bob" was very jetlagged so he was quiet. "Jane" was very chatty. She seems to be lovely. I'm sure once my wounded pride is healed I will be writing glowing reports about them! But for now I'm off to lick my wounds....Forgive me.
