I Pulled Someone's Wig off Today...

Omg!!! I pulled someone's wig off!!!!

There's no better title for this post because I did indeed pull someone's wig off today. I kind of wish the woman had been a complete stranger but that's not how my luck goes. No...it was a co-worker. A co-worker who's wearing a wig because she lost her hair from all the chemo and radiation used to treat her cancer! I admit I've been tempted to rip the wig off her head. Not because I'm mean spirited but because fighting cancer and winning...that's bad ass! I'd rock that bald head if I were her. But.. Being tempted to rip someone's wig off and actually doing it are two very different things. 

Very different. Here's what happened.

A few months ago I started yoga teacher training. Some of my co-workers expressed an interest in learning so I offered to teach a class, free of charge, and opened it up to everyone. It's worked out well. They get to experience yoga and I get to practice teaching. They're doing great so tonight I put them through the most rigorous practice yet. While they were relaxing in savasana, I came around to make adjustments. Gentle, feel good stretches to help them relax. I was feeling really good about the evening until I got to her. The combination of  warmer weather and the vigorous practice had made her sweat. Because she was sweating the very gentle stretch to her neck resulted in my pulling the wig off her head. 

OMG!!!!

She put her hands up to stop it but it was too late. I made matters worse by trying to push it back on her head...

Twice...

Sigh.

Luckily no one else noticed and she wasn't as mortified as I was. 

My yoga teacher did NOT warn me about this...
