We need more spray bottles in class. Everyone seems to keep them next to their mat and it was such a full class today, I didn’t want to get up, walk around trying to find a spray bottle and bothering half the class at it.

Just my luck that I’m late to class on a day where everyone decides to turn up to class. There must’ve been 40 bodies in there. The only good thing was that I got a peripheral mat spot so I wasn’t stuck in the middle of all those (temperature) hot bodies.

So anyway, what was I ranting about today? Oh, spray bottles… yes… I would’ve liked one for garbha pindasana to make the arm slippage through the tight, tight hole between the calves easier. There was a spare bottle left when I got to sitting poses, but then after supta k, I looked up, and it was gone.

I looked around and it seems as though all the spray bottles were on the other side of the room. So I decided to play the squeeze game instead of getting up and stealing someone’s spray bottle. It was tight, but I got my arm through eventually.

Why can’t people replace the bottle after using it? Why do they have to keep it next to their mat? As if it’s *their* spray bottle, some of us other newbies need it too

I don’t think I like garba pindasana but it’s too soon to say for sure. It’s the rolling around bit. I fall off my mat onto the cold hard wooden floor then lose my mojo. I ended up needing an assist to roll my way around, but I got up to kukkutasana (mostly) by myself, no face plant either. My hand position wasn’t quite right, but hey, not bad for try #2.
