Week 2: Standards redefined

Gone are the days of the 20-minute final savasana, where I drift off after class until I'm completely relaxed and cooled down. Are you kidding me? Class typically runs over by at least 10 minutes. 11:15. Anatomy begins at 12:15. Approximately 1 hour to wait in the shower line, rinse out yoga clothes, change, hang the wet clothes up in the parking lot, eat lunch, and set up for anatomy. Between traffic jams and the slow motion imposed on my body by the yoga truck, this takes much longer than usual. So I bolt out of the room as soon as the teacher officially dismisses us, and lurch to the showers before the line reaches out the door. My head feels like a bowling ball, and sometimes I have to prop myself up on the wall in the shower line, or grab onto the clothing hooks. But I will have time for lunch and two seconds of rest before anatomy.
