8:15 a.m. with Sheri at Fountainview. I arrived at 7:45 as the doors were opening. Sheri noticed as I walked in my clothes on hangers and ask where I was going after class, I told her church. Since I arrived much earlier that anticipated I thought it would be a good opportunity to do lengthy Savasana before class started. I was so relaxed until . . . the a guy next to me put down a mat, normally I can ignore this but he tapped me on the shoulder . . . the next few minutes he told me his name, his age, were he lived, what surgery he had, how many years he was doing Bikram, I said little, though I like to chat normally but not in the Bikram studio . . . it is time to start focusing and not on the person next to you.
Class started and he chatted the whole way through . . . this was actually really good for practicing my focusing . . . The Full Locust Pose, lying on tummy with arms extended like an airplane the guy next to me grabbed my wrist and firmly planted to the ground, icky, I really wanted to get up and move spots and in retrospect that is what I should have done . . . he had a comment for everything . . . the last breathing exercise you watch yourself in the mirror, you know when you can feel someone staring at you, I glanced over in the mirror he was not doing the breathing exercise he was just staring at me in the mirror I looked away, okay last posture was Savansana . . . I chose to fold up my mat and leave the room . . . as I was leaving the instructor I think she knew the real reason I was leaving she just said (gave my name) is leaving to get to church. I talked with a gal in the locker room and she was well aware of this guy and had a similar deal with him . . . she now makes sure she is on the opposite side of the room that he is . . . she said he does show up every Sunday at 8:15 . . . thank goodness I have options, next Sunday I'm heading over to the other studio.
