the 6 inches for Standing awkward pose

Juan teaches again today. i am a little late and i look at him on my way in and say "are you teachign Juan" I think he said yes but i didn't hear it...
Today he is calling me yuen today. He must of looked in the sign in book to see what i wrote. good thing because i wore a purple bikini and he woulda called me purple bikini. I thought many times to correct him but then the other people in the class would then look at me, and i din't want any more people looking at me in class. so i decidd i'll tell him later. but i still chickend out telling him after class when i left the studio.
here's the jist of what he said today,


For chair standing pose
" step 6 inches wide, and i don't mean the 6 inches that you told your girlfriend but a real 6 inches"

end of class "Okay, everyone lie down and total relax body, I've had about enough, have you?"

"Miss green, are you really trying because i don't believe it, if you're an actor get another job because i don't beleive it one bit."

"those are very interesting patterned shorts, did you guys get them in costa mesa?, whats up with those shorts ladies." two ladies were wearing the same funky hot pants with weird paisley designs on them.

daniels a new guy in class "daniel, stretch forward, like all the ladies around you, yes youre a man, and there's laides surrounding you, do it like the little girl infront of you"
I do Bikram Yoga at the Bikram Yoga School on La Cienega. For those of you who don't know, it's 26 postures done in a hot sauna room over 110 degrees, you do every posture 2x, except for the last one.

One of the regular instructors, Juan, is really something. He talks like a drill seargent, sort of with the tone of horse race annoucer or auction announcer who constantly speaks the dialogue, but manages to throw in comments and corrections about students in a seamless manner. With his thick Spanish accent, his jokes and sarcastic comments help make the class flow in an entertaining way,although many times he has offended people and caused them to leave class. He stands about 5'2" tall, on the podium to teach class, with his long hair and Little Speedo, his body is small and ripped.
