Doing yoga is very serious business. For those practitioners who reap the benefits of this wizened form of exercise life seems to be much better.
But for others like myself who do not practice this art it is all rather misty. We see those who practice yoga with their mats and fitness balls but what do they do with them? Here are some mysteries revealed.
10. Downward Facing Dog – Butt in the air and everything else on the groundGreat name great way to begin any sort of conversation.
9. Awkward Chair Pose – Sitting in the air with arms clapping above the headI wonder what the comfortable chair pose looks like?
8. Cow Face Pose – Crisscross legs plus touch hands behind the backIt’s true – every time one touches his hands behind his back he sees the face of a cow. Seriously try it.
7. Tree Pose – Classic yoga with one leg up on knee and praying handsQuick! Make like a tree.
6. Monkey Pose – Splits with arms in the airThis one time I went to the zoo and saw a monkey do the splits. No I didn’t – just kidding.
5. Bow Pose – Holding feet while lying on stomachWell string me up and make me tight this pose is awesome.
4. King Dancer Pose – Scorpion hold plus arms out in frontHopefully I’ll be at a party sometime and see a guy just standing in the middle of the dance floor in this pose. Then I’ll know he’s the king dancer … and not white.
3. Plow Pose – Feet totally overhead on the ground behindThose farmers sure know about stretches. Whoo.
2. Goddess Pose – Lay on floor with knees open up and feet touchingOw. No. That looks like my hips are going to pop out. Sorry I’ll leave that to my grandma.
1. Relax Pose – Laying on groundI feel like perhaps I do this everyday … in bed (too bad this isn’t a fortune cookie).
