This triple Tuesday was fantabulastic. The 8am started with a taped dialog given by the previous owner of the studio who has since passed away. His name was Chris, I met him outside of Bikram, and most of what I remember of him was that he was a giant and told a story of some kind of really strange training thing he went to (sounded more like a cult) where some guy stood on his shoulders. I remember thinking that this guy was probably wackadoo, but he was a very nice guy so hey, to each his own. Now I know this was teacher training and it was Bikram standing on his back as he touched his forehead to his toes and yes, wackadoo would be one way to describe it. During his dialog he talked about maintaining stillness and called it amplifying the work. Everyone has at least one thing they say in their dialogue that sticks with you, this was his for me. The 10and 6pm went well, and after the 6 ended there was a torrential downpour. It was a wonderful feeling to walk out into the cool rain and just stand in an alley, barefoot in a puddle, arms upraised, and amplify the work.
