On Friday morning all of our force was awoken. The entire tour group as well as a couple of Chicago's finest citizens participated in a yoga class at a studio across the road from our hotel. Besides being a fun and unique experience, the session afforded the boys a chance to stretch, relax and prepare mentally and physically for the basketball and touring that was yet to come. Most of the boys really took the lessons to heart and after a phase of triangle work, ended up focusing on grounding a lot of their energy into the floor.
We thanked each other for sharing our chakras and then went back across to the hotel to shower after what was for most, a tough workout. I say most, because a couple of our more robust coaches and Josh Wiltshire were able to breeze through many of the tougher positions and systems, most notably the crow.
The afternoon and evening were spent visiting some iconic Chicago landmarks; Wrigley Tower, the Bean and the Michael Jordan store. Boys got to spend time talking shop with Old Boy and current NBA player Cameron Bairstow before heading to bed relatively early as we were off to Geneva in the morning.
