yoga schmoga

..yoga hoola..

last week, my friend banana wanted to try yoga. being apprehensive of trying something new without a friend along, she asked if i'd be willing.

i was.

...not very bright on my part, especially when my specialist specifically say, "..you cannot do yoga.."

anyway.. we almost killed ourselves attempting the movements / poses (hark!) ..midway, my friend started to laugh. and then ever more so when she accidentally farted. someone once assured me this was normal. blarks. anyway,..and she also burped which was worse because she had had durian and suffers! my nose was what it was after!!!!

both our joints (esp our elbows) were weak. so when we attempted balancing our weight on one arm only, it did not shiver. it totally shook! hahahah.. it was actually funny because our joints were so loose they showed!

so we lived - just barely - through our first yoga session. we splattered ourselves against the wall where we took the seats to put on our sneakers.

yoga was supposed to be a calming experience. a session for healing.. like this calming picture here on the right.. instead, we felt quite literally like this creation of God on the bottom left..

and so came the agony of strained muscles in alien territories the next day. ooooh the 'pleasure' of pain. huaarrgh..

then we tried it again last night. thank God it didn't kill us this time either. i lost my balance a few times, but it was all good fun. i think we were probably the noisiest people attempting yoga.

anyway.. my conclusion of the experience is,..

yoga is not for the loose jointed nor for those who are bodily "thick".. hehe.. i think we have to burn off some serious amount of fat first in order to SAFELY attempt yoga..
