NEW YEAR'S DENIAL





It was the first week of the new year, and all of the yoga classes were full.

The teacher began each one by asking the first-timers to identify themselves.

Each time, half the class raised their hands.

Next, she asked how many had come because of a New Year's resolution.

To her surprise, not a single person in any of her classes raised their hand.

Not a single one.

And the teacher knew they'd be long-gone come February.

  3. It's not my class!

    It's actually a workshop with a traveling astanga teacher who began teaching the same year as I, first met Guruji the same year as I, and made their first trip to Mysore the same year, too.
