I do the hokey pokey in the shower. There's a lot of shaking around, twisting, and turning.
I think I start out facing the water, then turn around. I usually finish facing the shower. It's weird because it's so automatic that I really don't know.
I face away. I have a bad back so I lather up while the hot water is giving some relief to the muscles in my back. I hate to waste water so I'm still out in less than 5 minutes.
Away when rinsing shampoo, but towards the rest of the time. I suppose I'm just short so moving the shower head down doesn't do anything to keep the soap from falling into my face.
