Couples Retreat Page #8

For real?

So how was your night?

My husband found himself in a

very traumatic shark situation.

Here we go.

As we were planning to go to the

waterfall and have a romantic evening,

because, as you know, we

don't do that very often

because of the kids and work...

But somehow, this crazy,

traumatic shark experience

was enough to make him neglect his wife.

Ronnie, nice to meet you. Well said.

David, how did that make you feel?

I know my truth.

Excuse me? I know my truth.

Did you say, "l know my truth',?

Oh, boy.

Listen, I'm telling you,

you getting on my last nerve!

Yo, I didn't sign up for this!

Yo, you said we was gonna be dancing.

You said we was gonna be partying.

You said we was gonna

be doing what we do.

You made promises, Daddy.

Boo-Boo, look, they got me

doing a lot of activities.

What do you expect from me?

I'm tired.

You tired? Yo, I'm tired.

Plain and simple, I ain't having it.

Sometimes we forget how to do

the easiest thing in the world,

which is just to talk to each other.

Okay, let's start here.

Lucy, you go first.

I want you to look at Joey and say hi.

And Joey, after you've heard that,

I want you to look back at

Lucy and say hello in return.

And then we'll just see where

it goes from there, okay?

Hi.

Hello.

You kept saying "open" and

"fruitful" and other weird stuff.

That's not feeling, it's just more

talking in short half-sentences,

and you managed to turn feeling

into a job or an activity,

and it was exhausting.

So now it's my fault that

you don't feel satisfied!

Everything is my fault?

Is that what you're saying?

I'm not saying that! I'm

crazy? You don't look at me!

You don't ever ask me how I am! I work!

You haven't looked at me in 10 years!

I'm crazy and everything is my fault,

and my family is awful, and

nothing at all is your fault!

'Cause you rock, Joey!

If a guy talked to me like

that, I'd punch him in the face.

You're such an a**hole!

You're an a**hole!

It's like a little kid who

gets a puppy for the first time,

just hugs it so much, snaps its neck.

Cynthia's your puppy.

It's puppy-cradle death syndrome.

All that love is gonna snap that puppy.

Yeah, but... You don't want that!

The dawning of a new day.

A marriage is not a timeless agreement.

It is one day. And each

day, it begins anew.

Moments. Life is made of them,

much the same as a great mosaic.

A thousand little pieces

that make one great image.

But the most important

thing in life is...

And today, we open the door to breath

with a shared yoga group experience.

Our instructor,

Salvadore, is running late.

So I will touch on tomorrow.

It is very important that

you are here before sunrise,

as well as not eat or drink

anything too late tonight.

As you pursue knowledge,

as well as your own

individual animal spirits,

it is very important that you

strictly follow your programs.

Failure to do so will

definitely take you off your path

and lead you away from

the answers you seek.

I'm sorry, monsieur Marcel.

Why is it so important for

us to be on time tomorrow

when Pablo, the yoga guy,

is running late today?

Quiet, please.

The yoga teacher's punctuality

is not your concern.

You are to be here before sunrise.

Why is it so important for us to be here

on time tomorrow? I'm not understanding.

Why can't we eat or drink tomorrow?

What, is he gonna probe us?

Who is that?

Oh, my.

Damn!

I guess that's the yoga guy.

This just gets better and better.

Well, hello. I am so sorry I'm late.

I just swam from the

other side of the island.

Please, allow me to put on something

more proper before we can begin.

Thank God.

There we go. Much better.

Now, who is ready for their yoga?

My name's Jason. Jason.

Pleasure, hi. Nice.

Cynthia. Hi. Can't wait.

Hello, Cynthia.

Yes, we have a brave

peacock. Use that. Yes.

Yes. Hi, you must be Veronica. Hi.

Yeah, how did you know?

Why, I have read that you have

studied the yoga for five years.

Oh, well, I mean, just off and

on, you know, before the kids came.

Nonsense. You know, there is such

thing called the muscle memory?

And I could tell by looking at

your gait, your muscles remember.

Thank you. Yes.

Okay, we are going to do

the children's position.

What's that?

Head down, buttocks up.

Everybody on your mats.

Yeah, that's good. That's

good. Very nice posture. Yes.

Encouragement.

So I will transfer you my

energy. I will transfer my karma.

Here is my karma on you.

Jason!

You have a great aura. Yes.

Jason! Encouragement!

Yes! This is a great way to stretch.

Yep. You see?

You could do this with

your partner at home.

Sure. Let's ride this energy out!

Keep your chin up. Yep.

Yes, this fire has just started.

And we will not put it out.

What is he doing?

I don't really know that pose.

Okay, now we go into

the happy baby pose.

No, no, no, no, no,

no. Please regard me.

I'm sorry? Please, allow me.

To do what? Regard me.

Okay. Yes.

Okay.

You are doing fantastic, my dear.

Thank you. Okay.

See as I gently pulsate.

Okay...

Trying to go deeper and deeper,

and bring her deeper and

deeper into a stretch, yes?

Okay, Fabio, that's enough

of the pulsating. Please.

Then do it! Yes!

Encouragement, my friend.

Yes, fantastic progress.

Yes, put your shoulders back.

Yes. Now feel the energy.

Feel that energy. Yes.

Through your chest.

Your peacock chest. Yes.

Good! You like that? Yes. Good job.

Encouragement. Yes. Great job.

There, you need to find

your mental equilibrity.

Not on my knees, man, that hurts.

It's okay, it's okay.

Know your limits, yes?

There is no giving up in yoga,

you know? Encouragement, yes!

Encouragement my ass,

Daddy! You ain't even trying!

Look, yoga's not my strong suit.

Yoga's not your strong suit?

Oh, look at this one. This

little one is flexible.

She's good. She's really good.

Ooh, fantastic.

So you do like the lizard.

Now is when we transfer

the energy, you see?

Yep. And you just lay

everything on top of her?

Yes. Lay it on. Stretch.

That feels pretty good, hon?

What?

Am I straight enough here, do you

think? Or am I curving a little?

Let me show you.

You feel the transfer of the energy.

Well, it feels solid.

It is tantric energy. Yeah.

It is karma. Yes.

Okay, now I want all my girls

in a downward dog position.

Yes, this pose contains

a tantric hip thrust.

Now you and I will try this.

You got a pose called "Yoga

Guy Gets His Ass Kicked',?

"Cause that's my favorite one.

I feel your anger, yes!

Yes, I got your blood pumping,

yes? No? Now use it! Harness it!

Hmm. Boom!

Everybody into the children's pose!

Heads down. Okay.

Close your eyes. Yes?

Yes, good. Let's breathe.

Excuse me, Salvadore? I feel

like my sacrum is really tight.

Could you just help me

stretch it out a little?

Yes, of course, I will play

the role of your husband.

Great.

Boom, boom.

-.

Boom.

The rain room has fire.

I did not see that coming.

I was getting centered.

I was enjoying the island.
