Swallow a quarter?

Well u know it's bad when Keri was contemplating swallowing a quarter last night to
Get out of going to class !!!! We were laughing soo hard at how desperate we have become !!! We have at least expanded our thoughts and really become creative. :)

Ker and I had a wonderful weekend despite not being able to leave the state. U can only get so many hall passes. We cried all day Friday and were feeling very sorry for ourselves. But luckily were rescued by two sweet guys who decided they did not want to hear us whine anymore and surprised us an showed up in LA. I have to admit that we have enjoyed our weekends in Cali. I spent a great weekend in La Jolla relaxing, studying, eating, shopping, looking at art and walks on the beach. Nothing better after a long stressful week. Ker stayed in manhattan bch, took a bike ride, studied on the beach , visited the laundramat, shopped, ate, and sleptin !!!
Just what we needed :)

Monday started off the same.... It's like the movie groundhog day ...the alarm goes off and we jump into yoga action. Unfortunately Bikram was in the mood for a few
Late night movies so we are operating on little sleep :).

We are halfway through the week and almost done with week five. Yesterday was our halfway point !!!!

We still wonder each day if we
will survive :). That is a never-ending question !!!

Thank u as always for all the luv and support.

We have made wonderful new friends who have made this process bearable. I'm sure we will all look back on this experience and laugh !!!! Or cry !!

Peace and luv. Thank u for the positive energy !!!!!

Keri fights back with her mat !!!

Well where to begin ...... We watched a very interesting movie until 3 in the morning with subtitles from India. I'm not quite sure what it was about as we nodded on and off to sleep , but I'm pretty sure it was made in the early days I'd cinematography :). It was slightly like a soap opera in India.

And that leads to the next event ...... 8 am on our mats and everyone exhausted and on edge. So ker gets her mat out on her line and some girl full of compassion starts yelling at her about how she moved her mat etc. Because afterall.... I'm sure she is entitled to a
Certain spot :). Ha ha.

So ker being the nice person she is got her
mat and moved. But it did noted there. Lucky for us we ran into her in the stairwell and ker gave her a piece of her mind :). We are learning compassion here :). Don't steal our peace please :)

Anatomy yesterday consisted of learning about " farting" and the reproductive system ... Mainly the rythmn method. I think we needed that lecture 20 years ago and
11 kids later :)

The highlight of our night was when every visiting teacher stood up to introduce themselves and told us that we
Are all rockstars because it was the hottest room they have ever been in:). I was beginning to think it was all in my head:

Bikram is back.... Need I say more??? Our yoga class yesterday was 21/2 hours long and.... I don't think I have ever laughed soo hard. Bikram was on a roll. I would share but would not even know where to begin. He did
However remind us that we are bulletproof,fireproof, moneyproof,sexproof,waterproof. We are becoming tough :).

All in all, we lean on our friends here, and feel love from our friends that are not with us and we realize that bettering your life is always good.

Peace and luv.

Kill pain with pain !!!!

So week 4 is almost over !!!!!! Thankfully :). We have completed 39 90 minute blasting hot
Yoga classes. Yesterday only 7 people were carried out so I
Guess you could say we are getting used to it since we were not one of the seven:). However we are sore and injured and wondering if we will ever be able to do all 26 postures together again. We are laughing at the thought of teaching a
Class and tling everyone to put their forehead to the floor when we can no longer bend from the
Waist:

Keri got her first makeup class on Saturday because
she forgot to sign in at late night lecture. She
Was told by a 25 year old that she needed to be more responsible so we are now working on our responsibility skills :). Ha ha.

We are progressing in our postures and hopefully someday will recall all this to teach a class :

We now have a dance party before every yoga class because we realized that
We needed a little motivation, and somehow Usher, and Lady GaGa and 50 cent help !!!

" everybodys working for the weekend" is what we are singing !!!!

Love and peace to all of u. We are feeling your energy and
Love :).

Week 4 is here !!!!

Soo we had a wonderful Mothers Day weekend in AZ with our family and loved ones. If this process does nothing else , it absolutely forces you to recognize the important things in life ...... Like ..... Your own soft bed, fresh air, grilled fresh food, a l
Clean shower, diet coke, and lemon curd :

Ker and I flew back last night studying on the plane for our first Anatomy test. We decided that week four is our hump week :)

So back we came greeted by friends and back to our musty hotel room :)

We miss all our yoga friends and want to give a shout out to
our Tempe and Scottsdale studio !!! We can't wait to get out of this crazy heat and start practicing with all of you again !!

A very special thanks to our wonderful teachers and owners who have been such a support to us since we have been here .... On that note .... We are going to get u back for not telling us what really happens here !!!! Jk !!

Bikram back on Wednesday ... So u might not here from us for awhile !!!

"trust the process" is what we are holding onto !!!!

Peace and luv :)

Someday we will have pictures:)

We have taken lots of pics and finally figured out how
To get them on the blog
So if
we ever have some free time we will post :).

We are feverishly memorizing and passing of
Each posture day by day. It is
Starting to get very crazy.

This was our analogy today :). We love
Apple pie.... BUT if someone made us eat it twice a day for 65 days we would most likely not like it for a time .....

That makes us feel better since we were wondering why we suddenly don't like yoga :) ha ha

The schedule is becoming a bit more routine , however that hot hot room never gets easier. Keri had to be rescued and
Carried up the last flight of stairs this
Morning ..... Oh because a 90 minute
Workout isn't enough... We them walk up 9 flights of stairs:). Too many sweaty bodies in packed elevator is not fun !!!

I'm sure this hotel loves us. Between breaking the ice machines everyday, asking for
Many towels, sweating all over the place, and walking around with little clothes on... I'm sure June 18th can't come quick enough for them :).

Speaking of which ... We are almost done with week 3!!! Woo hoo. One third of the way there :). We are both coming back to sunny Arizona to spend mothers day with our sweet kids !!!!

Look forward to seeing all of you in the 24 hour window :). Much luv. Ker and jack.

We are still alive !!!!! Barely!!!

Well needless to say .... we thought bloging would be easy at teacher trainig but anyone who has gone through it is probably laughing their heads off !!!

Here are the highlights!!!
1. The weekend.... the best part of the week !!! Ker went home and I stayed in Cali and spent the weekend playing with good company!! :) Road bikes on the beach... ate way too much food, saw a movie, went to the Getty Museum and spent the afternoon at 3rd street promenade.... ohh and watched lots of planes take off and land!!! Have to cram alot of fun in a short period of time since free time does not exist here!!

2. Took an amazing class with Bikram's wife who was intelligent, gentle, wise and encouraging.

3. Bikram is out of town.... that speaks for itself!!! No late night movies !!!! Which we have had a few more of those where we roll in at 430am andget on our mats the next day at 8 am... this place is not good for someone that requires sleep:)

4. We have made many  new friends!!!

5. Our meals mostly consist of granola bars, pretzels and vitamin water.... but we seem to make up for all the weight lost during the week on the weekends!!!!

6. We are now studying anatomy and we are realizing that science is not our best subject!!!

7. We are wearing dirty clothes since laundry is hard to come by..... never thought I would say that!!

8. We have mastered getting up as late as possible and now go to morning yoga with only our teeth brushed!!! Forget the hair!!!!

9. We have never taken so many showers and eaten so much ice in our lives !!!!

10. We are survivors and learning that your mind can take you to a good place if you let it!!!


Much love to all of you!!!! Thank you for the continuousstream of emails and messages!!! They are soo apprecitaed !!!!!  Much love   Ker and Jack

We are all in the same boat!!!!!!

So we tried to think of a title but our brain is fried!!! And... We are trying to stay positive. We are missing our family and friends, hungry, sore, sleepy, grumpy and hot !!!!! I guess we were on the Today show today at 8 am. We just were not great about posting that!! So check it out on the Internet !!! Luv to u all !!!
