The Bikram Yoga Dallas (BYD) Studio adopted me as their first Remote Student.
How cool is that? It never mattered that I didn’t have a Studio, but it feels kinda nice now that I do.
It is odd to be acknowledge as a ‘real’ student of Bikram Yoga; it feels some how that I have been legitimized when it never occurred to me that I wasn’t a real Bikram student, but hard when you are not affiliated with anything but your basement.
I was surprised by the feeling of belonging I felt when the Studio owner said in an email, “Consider yourself adopted by BYD – you can be our remote student. :-)”
Dare I tell her I have 7 more remote students she could adopt?
We could continue to add to our group, allowing it to grow and expand. Imagine who we would meet, and who would be inspired by the original 7 remote students?
As I write my 60-day testimonial about doing a 60-day challenge ‘remotely’ I have to acknowledge the support of this group. It brings in the energy of group I would otherwise miss.
I can see this as being the first remote student group, which has students already in many states, but how cool if our Studio connection is my brother’s studio? After all he is our first real connection to a studio, all I can do is ask, and the worst she can say is no.
Waiting for the rest of my yoga buddies to be adopted…
