Badass Bitch Survival Guide; Tuesday, First Period [12/08].
So this December, so far, hadn't actually been that bad. Sure, it was only a week into it, but either she'd gotten used to to this sort of thing, the island itself was getting kind of tired of it, or the really annoying stuff was still just ahead of them. Either way, she figured now would be a good time to pull this gem out for her class, and hope it didn't mean that she didn't get sidled with some random yoga class for next semester or something.
The class was directed to the gym again this week, which she figured might double as a subtle lesson in disappointment, because gym so far definitely usually meant something fight-y or stealth-y, but they weren't doing any of those things. In fact, the whole point was that they weren't doing anything fight-y (but it might help with the stealth-y).
"So," she started, "important part of survival is stress relief and keeping your body healthy and limber, because when you're all messed up and worried or stressed out or out of shape, you don't think straight, you're not focused, you're weak, you mess up. There's a lot of different forms of stress relief, some of which we've already covered,"--the fight-y stuff, she was talking about the fight-y stuff, "but sometimes, you're in a situation where you're just not going to be able to kick someone's head in, no matter how much they deserve it. So you have to channel that energy somewhere else. Personally, I like yoga.
"It also helps that yoga helps keep you limber and flexible, which has...many other benefits in...soooo many aspects of life."
Benefits she would not list here in class, because many of them were inappropriate for a school setting. They were smart kids. They could figure it out.
"In the West, when someone mentions yoga, they're usually referring to hatha yoga, which is just one branch of yoga, that involves a series of physical positions and breathing techniques as a sort of meditative process. Good for physical health and mental health. It's not going to be for everyone, either, and that's fine, too, but I"m just going to teach you few popular yoga techniques. Take it or leave it. I really don't care."

Listen to the Lecture - BABSG, 12/08.
...yeah, she was kind of assuming that, by this point, all of the students should be knowing to dress appropriate for any kind of activity.
Re: Listen to the Lecture - BABSG, 12/08.
This was... more interesting than she would have thought.

Class Activity - BABSG, 12/08.
Or you could just sit there in a half-assed lotus, taking a nap. She was hardly going to call anyone out on phoning it in, because she was pretty much doing the same thing.
Re: Class Activity - BABSG, 12/08.
Though she was going to sit in a (good) lotus for a bit, typing in the terms to her phone to try and find things to watch later.
