Yoga Staple
Even if the gym had all the workout machines, I always make it a point to attend a yoga class. Yoga is a hub that pulls everything into a coherent singularity. After days of weight training and calisthenics, doing a flow yoga class with Teacher Kea felt just right. The muscles got stretched while holding them in place made for good muscle toning as well. Beyond muscles, there is that element of stillness that goes into every yoga practice.

Ending Thoughts
Of all the yoga teachers I've attended to at Now's Fitness, Teacher Kea had the most verbal cueing in her instructions. But being in Thai, I had no clue what was being said. Could it be about subtle turns or twists I couldn't see others were doing? Was it about breath? That is the disadvantage of not having a common language between teacher and student.

I remember John Scott, a devout Ashtanga Yoga student of K. Pattabhi Jois who thought for the first 3 years that the counting was something else. If he missed something as basic as that, what other crucial component of the practice did he also miss? I am led to conclude that I would get more benefit from a regular teacher sharing a common language with me than be a student of a grand teacher whose language I cannot understand.

Nonetheless, being at Teacher Kea's class was a stress reliever and a way to reboot my body back into "factory setting". I coped with the class using my system of breathing and bandha engagement. The class had an engaged and lively feel to it. Thank you Teacher Kea!
