You Are a Badass

feel like doing it. I paid my money, sat
on my mat, and was surprised to find my
hand raised in the air when the instructor
asked if anyone had any injuries she
should know about. I then heard myself
explaining that I’d just gotten the cast off
my broken elbow and should really take
it easy. I am an adult. I am very busy. I
spent money on that class and then lied
so I didn’t have to participate. (I did
have a cast, but it had come off about
eight months earlier.) I spent the majority
of Yoga Week quietly napping on my mat
and conjuring up my best “wincing in
pain” face in case she was looking at me
whilst I was half-assing Down Dog. It
was ridiculous.
