May 25th and yoga session

My day started with a blackout. I woke up very early, around 5AM, to attend a yoga session. There are various types of Yoga classes and today's was Fire. First time taking a proper yoga class. The room was set to 90 degree Fahrenheit and the session was 60 minutes. It was an intense session. As soon as I entered the room, I felt like I couldn't breathe. It was very hot. I tried to calm myself that it is just my imagination that I can't breathe properly. Since this was my first time and I'm not necessarily fit, I had a blackout episode midway through the class. My vision started blurring and my head started spinning. I tried to take deep breathes and calm myself. I stood in the middle of the room with my eyes closed. I was afraid of fainting and going to the emergency. I slowly recovered. I tried to do some more asanaas but I took it easy for rest of the session. At the end of the class, I felt refreshed in a way.

A friend of mine had a message about Dr.Jacome. She passed away about 2 years ago on May 25th. I was reading up on her from other students and everyone has something great to say about her. It is really unfortunate that she demised at a very young age. She died of lung cancer. She sounds like someone I would have loved to meet. Some how whenever I hear someone dying of cancer, I get really sad. I feel like I can connect with them and their family and know what they've gone through. It brings back some sad memories. Why in life we always hear of someone great dying? Is it because we only recognize those few? Some times I wish I'm one of them.
