Day 13: some improvements

I practiced at Bikram's Yoga College in Fremont yesterday. Always a big class there. I really like the instructor on Tuesday afternoons, Robert. Students drink outside of the three water breaks and often get up to refill their water bottles from the water fountain at the back of the room, though; it's a bit distracting, and it makes me want to drink more water! (I realize this makes me sound like an uptight yoga prig, but there you go. When you do it every day, you get picky. Or priggy.)(Isn't it funny we still say "water fountain?" It sounds sort of archaic, like "horseless carriage.") Anyway, I was pretty focused and had a good practice. I didn't need to rest out any poses. I even made it through the whole first set, second side of Standing Bow Pulling without falling out. I was at dharma class afterward and while we were meditating, at one of the many moments I should have been focused on my breath, I was thinking that I have less discomfort in meditation posture having just done the Bikram series. Yoga asanas were, from what I understand, created in order to prepare one to meditate.
