The Dilnad can!

The things I've learned about yoga

I've been actively following online yoga classes for several days. I can clearly see the benefit this will have to my running and overall flexibility. It is, however, challenging in many ways.

1: You cannot possibly look manly while doing yoga
2: Yoga instructors explanations seem to stop time while you're performing contortionist imitations
3: Testicles are not a boon for performing this activity
4: It's hard to watch the person giving instructions while you're staring back between your own legs
5: Sweat Happens(promise)
6: Falling is not a pose
7: Tomorrow's gonna suck in the soreness department
8: Ladies dig guys who do online yoga (this is more of a hope than an observation)
9: Clip art of men doing yoga doesn't seem to exist
10: I can't come up with a 10th thing to fill this list

The Basic Yoga poses:

Break Dancer

Stoned Horse

Tyrannosaur Penis

I must admit I'm enjoying it and physically feel the benefits. I'm also not waking up with muscles as tight as previously. Good stuff!
