No. This is a different type of demanding.

That kind of demanding.
I think I'm going to fail relaxation yoga. Not really, by the way, but I have a horrible time ... um, relaxing. Alternate nostril breathing makes me feel like I'm suffocating, so I cheat. My fingers are in the correct position, but my mouth is open slightly. And corpse pose for 40 minutes? When the lights go off, I'm a constant fidgeting girl. (It hurts my hips, no matter how many blankets I roll to put under my knees.) Well. there's only one more class of that to go. Thank goodness. Relaxation yoga is very stressful. (Only me. I know.)
{postscript ~ I'm instituting 1st week of the month book club recommendation on this blog. I've never joined a book club before and my first meeting is tomorrow. I'm so looking forward to this and need to figure out a way to succinctly synthesize what I'm reading (struggling a little with junk language in grad school), so practice here. Just as a warning, though, I'm living in a liberal city and am attending a liberal program. I can't guarantee that some of the picks won't be offensive to some readers in one form or another, but it's ok. We're all loving grownups around these parts. ;) }

Okay. So. I glanced at the title and thought I read "Meth". Egads, I thought, school really is different... : )
So...what are you supposed to do if one of your nostrils is clogged? Suffocate?
Really? 40 minutes? I dropped my yoga class because it was like that. I kept laying there thinking of all the things I could be doing instead of laying on the gym floor, lol.
Can't wait to see the book club reads!!
O, Sarah ... you never know how people get through these days ... ;)
Ronna, if your nostrils are clogged, you're to "follow your breath with your mind's eye" ... or, in other words, use your imagination ... {pretty glad that part of my term's over ...}
