Yoga and me

I finally gave it a try.

The real one. Not the one on Wii.

Yes, I did it. And yes, I was amazing.

I did it all on my own. No teacher helping and I did not pay for any class. I just read some books and watch a few videos. It's all free. And just like that.. BAM.. there I was with my palms together, fingers pointing to the sky, right foot perched on my the side of my left knee, and of course my eyes were closed the entire time. Yes, I was so cool. But that was not what I want to write about today. Not that my 'awesome-ness' wasn't worth mentioning. I just got carried away a little bit.

Anyway, the year is about to end and I thought that it's time to put some action to some of the things I had on my 'to do list'. I got the yoga video from the internet. I downloaded it from the torrent website. Not that I'm too stingy to spend some on yoga class but I'm not just gonna dance into some class without knowing what I was getting into. The pictures might worth a thousand words but they are also often unreliable. In fact, they lie a lot. So back to the yoga video. I typed words like 'yoga', 'beginners', in the search tab. Found a few and downloaded a few. 5:30 pm at my house, I put on a sports bra and a boxer panty, cleared the living room, put the yoga video in a thumb drive and plugged it on the tv, and start watching porn.

Yes, you got that right. Porn. I downloaded 'that yoga video' instead of the real thing. BY MISTAKE.

The problem is that there were more people seeding the x-rated stuff instead of the real yoga. And some of the video title can be very misleading. Some even appear innocent and intriguing at the same time. For instance, I downloaded a video titled 'Yoga Undressed - The Beginner Practice'. How should I know that the word 'undressed' literally means undressed? I took it as 'unveiled' or 'exposed' or 'to be discovered'. Get what I mean?

Anyway, I was home alone when I pressed play. Lucky, right? Moral of the story is, you'll never know when life's gonna throw you apples. So, always be on the look out.

The story about me being amazing at yoga, you didn't really bought that, didn't you? I can't even bend over and touch my toes. I suck at yoga.

Yoga is serious business. No kidding.
