i went to this hot flow class a couple of days back. and like all yoga classes, i looked forward to just one hour of quiet "me" time. the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of singapore life.
and so, much to my irritation (yes, i can get irritated during yoga class...but there was a perfect excuse for it!), my "quiet" time was rudely violated by about 4 yacking and laughing girls in class! i am not kidding! what part about "no talking during class" did these girls not understand?!?! the sign was plastered all over the freakin' walls!!!!
ok, so i tried calming myself down...breathe in, breath out...concentrate on my ujjayi breathing...i kept "ohming" in my head hoping to relax and clear my mind. after all, it was all about concentration despite the external stresses and surroundings, right? and it did work...until i could hear them again - snickering, laughing, talking! my gosh...how come some people simply cannot shut up? and it went on like that for an hour. yes, despite my teacher's reminders that it was quiet time. *sigh* some people just don't get it.
i left the class and i was on the verge of really letting this get to me (which would totally contradict the whole yoga practice experience, right?) - until my husband (who has started to join me for my yoga practice) told me something quite unbelievable that it was actually hilarious...one of those girls actually answered a call on her cellphone during class! UNBELIEVABLE! haha. I mean...SERIOUSLY? i can only imagine how that conversation went..."hello? yes, i can't talk right now...i'm practicing yoga (heavy ujjayi breathing in the background)...yes...i'm meditating right now...ok, gotta go...savasana time!".
some people...i just don't get it sometimes...
so calling all yogis in training - please, shut up during yoga class!
