One of the many perks of my fancy new software company job is free yoga classes, of which I partook for the first time yesterday, feeling a bit nervous and scruffy, as I’m not naturally flexible and hadn’t tried to do yoga in years.
Then the instructor pulled out a camera. She said she’d told everyone before that she’d be photographing the class that day, but for some reason the person who talked me into attending did not pass that information along. I groaned.
Said the instructor in her very best, soothing, yoga-teacher tones: “Now remember…” I took a deep cleansing breath and tried to calm down. Then she continued, “This camera has a delete button.”
I lay down on the mat and laughed for about five minutes. It probably aligned all of my chakras or whatever. Hyena pose. I don’t know.
It turned out that I could do some of the poses. I remembered what I learned years ago. (Thanks, Fred!) And other times I fell over repeatedly, and that was fine too. This camera has a delete button.
I felt great all day today.
