A stay in Rome
Une jeune femme a décidé de passer quelques mois à Rome pour se ressourcer avant d’aller jusqu’en
Inde.
Here’s what’s strange, though. I haven’t seemed to be able to do any yoga since getting to Rome. For
years I’ve had a steady and serious practice, and I even brought my yoga mat with me, along with my
best intentions. But it just isn’t happening here. I mean, when am I going to do my yoga stretches ?
Before my Italian speedball breakfast of chocolate pastries and double cappuccino ? Or after ? The
first few days I was here, I would gamely roll out my yoga mat every morning, but found I could only
look at it and laugh. Once I even said aloud to myself, in the character of the yoga mat : “ok, little
Miss Penne ai Quattro formaggi … let’s see what you got today”. Abashed, I stashed the yoga mat
away in the bottom of my suitcase (never to be unrolled again, it would turn out, until India).
Then I went for a walk and ate some pistachio gelato. Which Italians consider a perfectly reasonable
thing to be eating at 9.30 AM, and I frankly could not agree with them more.
The culture of Rome just doesn’t match the culture of yoga, not as far as I can see. In fact, I’ve
decided that Rome and Yoga don’t have anything in common at all. Except for the way they both kind
of remind you of the word toga.
