Worst. Movie. Ever.

It's been a great couple of days. Yesterday we had a class with Rajashree in the am, Half Moon posture clinic with Bikram in the afternoon, class with Bikram and then...it happened. Evening lecture started off pretty good. Bikram was talking to us about Yogic philosophies, which have interested me since I was a teenager. I actually studied the Bhagavad Gita when I was 16, so I was enjoying his lecture on "What is Yoga? Everything is Yoga". Then things took a horrible turn for the worse. At 11:45pm he announced we would be watching a movie. Now he'd referenced the Mahabarata in his lecture, so I was actually sort of interested to watch it (not at 11:45pm mind you, but whatever, the subject interests me). Then he put on what may be considered the largest waste of film ever made. It was a 4 hour epic Bollywood film. It was dreadful. I laughed, I cried, but it was nowhere near as good as Cats. Honestly, it was the real torture chamber. Four hours of yoga in a hot room I am OK with. Sleep deprivation via horrendous Bollywood films? I'm out. I tried to relate the whole thing back to his last point of his lecture "whoever can take away your peace, you are the loser" and "it is the mind over the matter" but somehow when my alarm went off after only getting 4 hours of sleep, I wasn't really caring what the lesson was!

Today was class with Raj in the am where I literally screamed at her in my head until we got to Triangle. At that point I was able to settle into my yoga class, that was half way over. Seriously, ask anyone in that class- she must have done 20 of Pranayama deep breathing in the first set.

Afternoon was MORE Half Moon posture clinic followed by a nice class with Bikram.

I have eaten dinner and am heading to evening lecture. Please say a prayer that we won't be forced to watch movies tonight. I need sleeeeeeeep.
