Rodney Yee
Sep. 8th, 2002 11:42 amSo today, Rodney Yee was at Yoga on High doing a demo and booksigning. He's actually there for the whole week, but doing teacher training, so I can't take the classes. So BestFriend and I and S & E from work went to the demo. Wow. What an amazing guy. I like the fact that even though he can be totally deep for 15 minutes, he'll then turn around and say, "But, then again, I don't really know." Very personable.
The demo was....wow. There were times that the room was totally silent, and then he'd do something really incredibly hard and look quite a bit like he was flying and the whole room would be filled with "ooh" and "oh" and "mmmm." It's like no one wanted to be the one making the noises but everyone wanted to scream "Oh my god!" So instead, they just made these little involuntary grunts.
Afterward, S & E & I got our books signed and the four of us got our picture taken with him. S should have the pix developed soon and then I'll post it.
Then S, E, their hubbies, BestFriend and I went to Haiku for a sushi dinner. Mr. Yee himself showed up at one point while we were stuffing ourselves on the patio. Some other people in his party wanted to eat elsewhere, so they left, but he did stop and say hello, much to the hubbies' chagrin. I think they thought we were a little fan-girlish. Well, we probably were, but probably not nearly as bad as the middle aged women at the book signing.
It was a good day. Definitely the inspiration I needed to get back into my yoga practice.
