Me, Myself, and I

Since quitting Equinox I have Thursdays to train all by myself.... Well, last week was my scheduled doubles workout, but one problem....I had no double of any bell at home. Where were all the bells? At my yoga studio! I teach kettlebells inbetween my tri-weekly double Bikram practices on M, W, F. I've had a bit of interest from a couple of my students, once I suggested it, to train a double KB workout, so I've stocked some of my bells up over there....yikes....I guess I'll train at the BYC Studio....for now.

Silly me, I decided to take a Thursday 7:15am class, not on my regular schedule, but I was already there, so thought I'd train KB's after yoga.... Sure I was a bit tired, but being soaking wet was more irritating than anything else. There I was, me, myself and I......arghh!

Balance Yoga Center has 2 yoga rooms, and while another Bikram class was going on next door, there I was in the 2nd yoga room, soaking wet, no music, and my Gymboss' beep echoing so loud I thought for sure it could be heard throughout the entire place.....

If I'm teaching, I kind of go into "auto-pilot", using the different skill levels of my students to inspire particular combinations of swings, snatches, and anything else more advanced students have the ability to train. I know I can train alone, I did for years, and I'll still train by myself when no one shows up for a class. And it's not always fancy, shmancy combinations, often times I put some of my students through the "boring stuff" they would never, ever, do on their own...I like the boring stuff!

So yesterday was my second "yoga studio" workout...by myself. I knew I had bells there so I scheduled a KB lesson with a newbie at 7:30-8:00am, afterwards I stayed for my own workout....it was brutal (another blogpost for another time!) My garage gym is so much better! So that's where you'll find me, myself, and I, next Thursday! I'm coming home......

Thanks you to Michael Mayle HKC, owner of Balance Yoga Center in the Silver Creek area of San Jose, for letting me pratice my Bikram yoga, and teach Kettlebells at his beautiful new Studio. Am I lucky or what?
