A Day in the Life

Today's mantra: Don't think.

Our (roughly) daily schedule:

6:45 am -- alarm
7:15 am -- get up, put lunch together, throw on clothes
8:20 am -- van leaves for studio
9:00 am -- arrive at studio, sign in
9:20 am -- Zach reminds us to sign in
9:25 am -- Zach comes in with a list of those who still haven't signed in. People jump up from their mats and race to the lobby.
9:30 am -- yoga class
11:15 am -- lunch break. Time is approximate. Class often runs over. Wait in line for shower.
12:00 pm -- actually eat lunch and sneak a nap
12:15 pm -- anatomy class, lecture or posture clinic
2:30 pm -- posture clinic
4:30 pm -- break for class. Scramble to lay down mat. Wait in more lines with 150 women to change clothes, fill water bottle and pee.
5:00 pm -- yoga class
6:30 pm -- dinner break. Again, class often runs over.
7:30 pm -- sign in again
7:45 pm -- see 9:20 am
7:55 pm -- see 9:25 am
8:00 pm -- posture clinic or lecture, whatever they feel like. Sometimes we don't have to be back until 8:30 pm.
11:00 pm -- leave, unless posture clinic runs late or Bikram keeps talking.
11:30 pm -- get home, unpack bags, eat, stare into space
12:30 am -- or later, go to bed.
