It's fun being "some people"

[flexagon]

Through a series of accidents I wound up in tonight's basic yoga class with Surfer Dude. It was nice, very meditative with a lot of rhythmic motions. I really got into it.

"Now if you're feeling really ambitious you can try bringing the weight all the way into your hands and lifting your feet, coming into side crane. Um... it's not as easy as some people are making it look."

*grin*

Then someone asked me if I had moonshine in my peanut butter jar -- the second time that's happened! No, you twerps, it's water. It's in a jar because my plastic water-bottles have been disappearing, and the studio doesn't sell them anymore so I have to bring a container. :P

You're also the "some people" who make basing look EASY. (Says someone who dropped her handbalancing partner in class last night... she's my size, and we weren't even doing anything hard....) :-)

Oh man, I think basing -- and anything else isometric or without much motion -- tends to look WAY easier than it is. I hadn't been aware of being part of the phenomenon, but you must be right, because successful basing does look effortless!

Well... you certainly don't seem as shaky as some of the people who have based me, and you also don't seem to just plain drop them, either! :-)
