All about towels ...

EP
===


THE yoga centre will provide us clean small and big towels for shower /
during class ..
IN one of the yoga class i went last week , teacher asked us a question at the last
5 minutes of the class --
" What's the most frustrating thing for a teacher during the class ? "
Most of us said not doing the perfect pose ? / we lose our breath ? /
some of us don't want to try completing a new pose etc ..
Teacher shake her head and said " NO " , She told us the mose frustrated thing to her is
the towels we take before enter the studio . Many of us will take 1 big and 1 small towel into
the class , some even take more than 3 towels for an hour class .
AND every time when she went to the mat try to give some instructions to students ,
she first need to stand on her tippy toes , dodged the " little towels hill " besides the mat .

AS a teacher , she only take ONE small towel to the class and use it again when she
take shower after class . if that day she have a HOT class , she will only take one
more small one . She asked us to think about how many water / labor power etc ...
needed on washing just a log of towels that we used and try to minimize the resources
we used , not only for the yoga center but also for self and the environment ( earth ) .
I remember i took one big and one small towel for my 1st yoga class , BIG one for covering
the mat , small one for my sweat . Half way the class, i found the big towel on the mat just tripped me during the practice .....and from my 2nd class till now i just use a small towel .
I guess people like to cover the mat with a big towel beacuse they think that the mat is
a bit dity and lots of the other used it before , BUT everytime after the class , those cleaning
ladies used disinfection cleaner for the mat and floor ... i wonder how dity it can be ...
Besides , you can take shower after the class ......

Hummm.... i am not a environmentalist or radicalon on this topic ,
Just a little inspiration in my mind after the class ... and started to think we should
can and love the earth more and more ...
