Just think of it as another set of muscles. The teacher isn't telling you to be happy (unless the teacher is an idiot); the teacher is giving you an exercise in concentration. Can you consciously control more than one muscle set at a time?<BR/><BR/>When my yoga teacher tells me to smile I oblige. When she tells me to hold my head at a certain angle or adjust my stance, I do that. Best I can.Glenn Ingersollhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10674475308395975995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6338489.post-35227143562672553092008-05-15T17:29:00.000-04:002008-05-15T17:29:00.000-04:00Haaa! lengthen & strengthen those muscles and turn that frown upside down while yr at it! HAAAA. <BR/><BR/>she just wants a bunch of well-toned emoticons I guess. I've always wondered, when people say that, exactly why they're uncomfortable with someone not being smiley at that moment in time.Annandale Dream Gazettehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08155953951163636760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6338489.post-13266586512152096372008-05-14T16:22:00.000-04:002008-05-14T16:22:00.000-04:00I was doing music at an Episcopal retreat once where some numbnut decided a clown/mime Eucharist would be fun- when I got to the altar for my little piece of fish food, the fucking mime priest pulled the wafer back and made the universal 'smile' gesture, so I made the other universal gesture and snapped the thing out of his hands- I mean REALLY!
