Bikram Yoga El Paseo

This is the first sequel to a blog that I have ever written.  It just seemed appropriate that I should follow up my last blog by sharing my second meeting with the gentlemen that burst on to the yoga scene the other night. (The following wont make sense to you unless you read the last blog…….. “Blah, Blah, Blah……..La Luna Piena”)

I have to admit.  This second meeting went much  SMOOTHER  literally and figuratively,   and there were no black under ware involved.

Long time student / good  friend,  Colleen Pappas was my partner in crime.  She was recruited by her own fault as she invited me to go to HITS  to watch the horse show.  Evidently one of the participants came to the yoga studio last weekend and mentioned the show.  She was running late so by the time we got there it was over.    Here we were at 3pm on a Sunday,  all dressed up and no place to go…………………….

When in doubt, women go shopping.   We headed to El Paseo. About  a half hour into shopping it dawned on me that the skin care store that the gentlemen own was close by.  I told Colleen about the incident in my last blog and as we laughed I  contemplated paying them a  visit.

I told Colleen that I needed to stop  in and have my   “puffy eyes”  evaluated.

The gentleman who left the Bikram class first  greeted us at the door.  I could tell upon first sight he did not recognize me.  I told him that  he needed to get back into the “Bikram  hot room.”   The look on his face was priceless.  He flashed a smile of recognition then said,  “no no”  as he haphazardly demonstrated standing head to knee pose with two bent knees.

That actually was very impressive as I didn’t think he was in class long enough to learn that pose!!!!!    He told me  that  his  friend  was off that night but he  just happened to stop by and was in the back room as we spoke.  He went to get him.

Mo  came out in casual duds with a great  big smile on his face.  He ran over to me and gave me a big hug and kiss.   “So glad you came, Honey!”   He was so welcoming  that an onlooker would have thought we were friends for years.   He apologized for his attire and reiterated that it was his night off……….  BUT

“I will take care of you honey,  I told you that I would!!”

He pulled up two chairs and sat Colleen and I down.  He offered us water and reminded me that he owed me one!!!   I totally forgot that I had given them free water the night of the chaos as it was just easier that way.

He handed  us a  magnifying mirror to look at our  BEFORE eye  lines and puffiness.  He  then began gently but briskly filling in these lines with  a special serum.   While he worked he asked some pretty personal questions.

Did we use Botox,  Did we use filler and  Was that collagen in  my  lips.

COLLAGEN in  MY LIPS???  SORRY BABE THESE LIPS ARE NATURAL AND THEY ARE MINE,   NOT  A  SPEC OF  COLLAGEN OR FILLER  HERE.

“Stick to fixing my puffy eyes and leave my lips alone!!!!!”   He agreed that my lips did not need any work.

(Thank God for small favors!  😉   )

Within minutes he was feverishly fanning the  special serum  around my eyes to dry the treatment faster.  I could feel a tingling than a tightening as he explained this miracle serum.

I have to admit the results were pretty dramatic.  Colleen felt  her results were dramatic as well.

He was a very good salesman and we both walked out with  product.

I was happy to hear  that  he was planning on following up with his Bikram practice and getting back into a regular routine now that things are settling in at his new store. I doubt he will be able to convince his cohorts to try it again, but you never know.  He is a good salesman!!!

So you just may get to meet Mo and you will  love him,     but be prepared    ‘honey‘   he will probably point out your facial imperfections.   Have no fear because I”m sure he’ll have  a remedy for you as well!!

In  the meantime,  I  hope to see you in the hot room!!  I’ll be there and so will Colleen with our new  SMOOTHER,  happy, smiling faces!

NAMASTE`
