Yoga! Toga! Toga!

(I can really do this!)

Healthy people feel bad for sick people.
This fact is coming in handy for me.
I've had more free lunches in the past 3 months than I've had in my 24 years of living.
I am also getting free yoga and swimming classes.
There is a lovely man named Dean who teaches yoga at 3b down in River Woods who finds us sickies and attempts to teach us yoga. We don't have the best balance in the world so it can get really funny at times.
Dean is an angel in yoga pants.
He does this stuff for free!
He takes time out of his day to do this for FREE.
I am so very grateful for his huge heart.
I'm guessing after you do yoga for a while, you adopt this very calm and contemplative demeanor because that is what he has and all of his yogi interns.

I hate it.

I can be loud and spastic at times and he.. isn't. He's just calm. All the time.
I pray that someday I won't always be yelling and laughing.
I love yoga. Dean says I'm a natural. I would believe anything he told me.
During our first session at his house, he asked me if I had ever been a dancer or a gymnast. I told him I was just a wannabe. He didn't laugh but Ty did. That's why I take him with me places. He's my fail safe.

I can also do this...
..and this..
..and this.
Just kidding.


So swimming. Brittany is the girl who teaches me. She went to BYU and graduated with an English degree and then she was going to apply for law school but decided to go to yoga school instead. She is opening up her own studio on Center Street in Provo right above that Karate School.
To get a good visual of how well I did my first day, imagine someone drowning. That's what I looked like the whole time. Instead of turning my head to the side to take a breath in between strokes, I just swallowed water. I'm done talking about this.

I love selfless people and I love yoga. These two things bring hope back to humanity. For real.
