I am so relieved finally got around to joining those damn yoga classes I have thinking about, dreaming about, writing about...you get the drift. After having putting off the inevitable for so long I had to give in after getting a rude wake up call from my uncle who said and I quote "my dear I think your cheeks look a little round than usual.. a little fuller".
One innocent comment and the damage was done I swore under my breadth and dialed the yoga instructor my boss had highly recommended to me an eternity back. Kundanji a very sweet and harmless looking fellow or so I thought, came the very next day on time and took me to task immediately.
Now you know what they say about yoga it so easy, convenient, you feel great, you look awesome ..ya right.. sure and I am Aishwarya Rai! To clear all the misconceptions and to set the record straight Yoga asans are not easy ..you have to be nimble and flexible to get it right which I was so not along with ensuring that your breathing is correct ..sigghhh. After the first class you don't feel great because every bone in your body is crying out with pain and you probably don't look awesome because you can barely walk straight let alone sit on your "A##S".
I should have guessed this was not going to be easy and the icing on the cake was kundanji's comment "Aapke chehre pe itna stress kyun hai jab aap asan karti hain, aise nahi hona chahiye". I was about to give him a befitting reply before sanity prevailed and I kept my mouth shut reminding myself that it was not the poor man's fault that he was stuck with teaching of all the people in the world "me". (Inside I was uttering all the abuses in the world that I knew, I must say that really calmed me down)
Okay Now the good part after having passed the litmus test for the first week and seeing kundanji's expression changing from concern to agitation and now I think I can see a hint of smile spread across his face when he sees me completing the postures correctly that you do get better with time. I admit as well that you actually start feeling nice, I have started walking straighter with more confidence. Of all the wonders Kundanji and I have really hit it off magnificently and I don't look forward to his classes as an one hour spent in hell any more.
Looks like things are shaping up beautifully including me... :)
