Was at hot yoga class.

Was struggling with the 'boat' pose.

I can't make my back straight while making sure that my legs are 45 degrees straight too.

The instructor came over to hold my legs.

The moment he let go, my legs dropped and made a loud 'thud' sound.

Two of my gym friends laughed.

It was really pleasing to hear them laugh.

I laughed too.

For me, it is evidence that our relationship is close enough that they feel comfortable laughing at my silliness. (Asians tend to be more reserve for fear of offending others)

As always, it's great to hear laughter.
