it wouldnt be the first time they misread my emotions. despite 15 years of an "all roads lead to rome" mentality, I was diagnosed with a type "a" personality. I finally got some reprieve when I was ordered to make a "birth plan" and my idea of a hearty billot included a whopping two items...do what my Dr said and no epidural. now im a happily acknowledge type c personality amongst my team (still "a" around my naysayers bc they want to cause strife). this year, though, bias and the refusal to acknowledge wrongdoings has really given me the business...I do tantra...a spiritual practice like yoga that allows one to play with energy much like gokus golden ball when he powers up (and, like yoga, a practise of non attachment. so type "a" right). i work under a relatively small house, but they are good ppl. its just that the orders are from before I had a huge "growth spurt". all the "yogic" tradions require huge feats of mental strength that my new "fusion or western" teachers (got loaned out) refuse to acknowledge it. which is why my old teachers recommended ballet and why my new teachers are more impatient and judgey. basically, I got an "upgrade" that means I need to go back to basics (the barre) despite advancing. (its like growing a foot over summer. gotta recondition the new imbalanced muscles). tantric practises involve holding long positions without moving, so "barre" work never really ends, but my new teachers are more westernized and, honestly, just kinda mean cause "authoritarian" (yoga is not ballet, though ballet can benefit a multitude of disciplines. point is most yoga is "foundational" and "soft". think the teacher from karate kid. its all the "flower blooms when it is ready". unlike westerners that use greenhouses). these new teachers refuse to allow me recondition at the barre, but expect a 45 minute arabesque with no signs of mental focus. just a performative and serene "flow" (cause that makes them happy. gokus face screws up). ballet/tantra is not easy. the audience just thinks so bc "not dancers". ill try ur way a bit, it cant hurt. here's to surpassing our limits! ty! (scared my butt, I just gotta "hold" at "trot" speed).
