Yoga Farts
I’ve suddenly had a cousin explosion on my blog! I love it. I love the attention but I wonder how long they will last? (I know of one cousin that has been reading my blog for a long time and she’s pretty much a noncommenter…these others are crazy!)Ok so Jen and I totally played yoga hookie for the 3rd time. This week I had my yoga mat, yoga clothes, and yoga mind all ready to go and Jen blew the whole thing! Not really…we were running late and it was our first class so we decided to skip and start next week. The normal teacher is out on vacation, so there is a sub right now, and we thought it’d be bad to be late to the first class on a sub-night, or in other words PRO-CRAS-TIN-ATION.
I want to touch on farting during yoga. I’ve heard it happens a lot. I’m not a public farter. (Although Lizzy caught me over the cell phone the other day, which was NOT GOOD. I should be more careful about that.) I’m not even a private farter unless I’m completely alone. I had a boyfriend for 5 years once and didn’t fart in front of him EVER. But if you’re turning your body in to a deep breathing pretzel – can you help it? And if you do fart, does everyone laugh, or do they just shrug it off and pretend to be meditating? Yoga positions require lots of sticking your ass up, and thus sticking it in someone else’s face. I’m worried I won’t be able to relax if I think I might toot in my yoga friend’s face.
All meds working WONDERFULLY!
Lizzy comes on Friday. I can’t wait to see her. It’s been a year and a half. We’ll take lots of pictures so we can post them for you. I have a big weekend planned (not really). It’s going to be great (I hope).
I saw Million Dollar Baby on Sunday. It was a good movie but pretty darn sad. I knew it got lots of awards, and I knew it was a boxing movie, but I didn’t know the whole story. Bring you tissues if you go see it and be prepared to be there for over two hours. It’s a long one.

I had this boss at the assocaition I worked for in Old town and she would fart as she walked and didn't seem to notice she had done it or didn't care, but it cracked us all up. You could end up like aunt margaret, who farts every time she stands up! Too funny!
You hope it's going to be a good weekend??? It better be, or I'll be highly upset!!! LOL!!! loves
Yoga releases all the toxins out of your body that's why people pass gas when they are doing it. I remeber my first time doing yoga I was queefeing like a mo-fo. I was so embaressed. I also heard noises like that from my friend that was next to me. We looked at each other and were trying to hide our laughter but it was nearly impossible. I'm sorry if this is inappropriate to talk about.
p.s. I read your blog whenever I can, you are so funny! Reading it just lets me let loose for a second from my hectic day.
I love clint eastwood films. I am looking forward to this one.
I have never done yoga, but the thought of farting scares the shit out of me. hahaha
BTW... since I am so ignorant on exercises, what is the diff between yoga and pilates? Does anyone know?
HQ - I don't really know the difference between Yoga and Pilates but I know there is one. I think Pilates is more stretching or something? Or balance...I don't know. Good question....
I think it's the other way around. Yoga is more stretching and relaxation. Pilates is more like "working out". It's more like strength and resistance training using your own body weight.
Anon - I'm so glad you read my blog!!! Enjoy!
