My 30 Day Yoga Challenge Diary: Day 6

My sympathy for the Russians yesterday has now transferred to sympathy for myself.

For those of you who don’t know, you’re supposed to do yoga with your socks off. I absolutely refuse to do this but I learnt to develop a tolerance for people who insist on following this rule. Until now.

For the duration of today’s class I had a man’s sweaty foot in my face – yes that’s right, a man’s horrible, sweaty, hairy, ugly foot… in my face.

I do not want a group of men seeing me sweat while I try not to fall over.

I hadn’t had many men in my class until today but half the class seemed to be full of them, much to my dismay. Fist of all, I do not want a group of men seeing me sweat while I try not to fall over. Secondly, men excrete a lot more fluids and are a lot larger than women. Not an ideal combo for yoga class.

Since they are the bigger sex they take up more room in the yoga studio, which means they’re a lot closer to me. I do not enjoy this invasion of space.

Back to the sweaty feet. I do not understand why you would not shower if you were knowingly going to have your feet in someone’s face. I mean really. Who does that? There came a point in the class where his toe inched dangerously close to my my mouth and I was half tempted to push him over. Luckily, I restrained myself as I don’t think that goes with the whole zen vibe.

Checklist for class tomorrow: Air freshener, tweezers (to slyly hurt the individual who tries to insert their toe into my mouth again) and a placard to start a protest for sock wearing.
