yoga teacher is a bit loopy

i got the impression that our (laura and mine) yoga teacher thought we were both from some south east asian poor country..

why do i say this?

today in yoga, we were doing lots of poses that involved stretching our hip joints

me and laura have pretty flexible hip joints ( compared to the two 25+ ladies ( one of them is definitely 30+, the lady with the british accent is a bit hard to tell) and the 50+ old man .. they were feeling the stretch and we couldn't feel much stretching at all even with the heavy sand bags on our thigh muscles. we got to do more complex cross legged poses =p )

anyway, at the end of the lesson.. anne, the yoga teacher commented on us having flexible hip joints and asked whether we sit cross legged alot.. and we're both like..yeah.. 7 years of primary school.. and then she goes something along the lines of '' oh, see, western kids have chairs...chairs are so bad, we should sit cross legged more often''

i had to keep a straight face and go 'yeah, we didn't have many chairs'

i like sitting cross legged....reminds me of 'show and tell' and 'story time' during pre school and happy memories of primary school..

besides isn't that the nautral position people go for when they sit on the floor? or maybe she's referring to the fact that most people work in an office and sit in front of a computer all day?

anyway.. what a weird weird thing to say.. obviously this is because laura and me were both BORN HERE! and we both went to school here- primary, high school and now uni!!
