Does anyone else hate yoga? Wait, let me rephrase: Does anyone who currently has ovaries and/or for whom ovaries were a standard option on their particular make and model hate yoga? Because it seems to be a chick thing that ovaries and yoga go together. I do like the idea of yoga, but the actual execution has never been my thing. I like a lot more violence in my sports. Like football. And running.
Not that yoga can't be violent. Every time I have tried yoga in a formal class-type situation, I've pulled the shit out of one shoulder or the other. I'm guessing it's a combination of it looks easier than it really is and having shoulders that like to separate from my body.
But I'm going to give it a shot. My orthopedist wants me to do some cross training in this next marathon phase. And I'd like to regain some of my childhood flexibility. When I could do stuff like this:
The gal on the right? No joke, when I was about 8 to 10 or so I could do that. (I probably could've done like the gal on the left too but I never tried.) Then the boob fairy came and I couldn't do that no more.
So, wish me luck that I'm knot going to dislocate a shoulder or a hip or anything.
Cheers,

LOL! I don't like it. HOWEVER, I have been incorporating it into my schedule once a week here at home. (Not an official class or anything.) It helps keep me limber. Especially with all of my injuries from running.
ReplyDeleteI am so NOT into yoga. Not one bit. I used to religiously do Yoga Booty Ballet -- I skipped the yoga part and did the dancing, weights and ballet. Screw yoga. BORING!
ReplyDeleteYeah, so have fun with that! ;)
I know, what was I thinking? But I do need to improve my flexibility (I'm actually fairly flexible naturally, so no excuses!) and a little peace and calm definitely wouldn't hurt either. Tuesday and Wednesday of this week, I was ready to beat somebody to death with a stapler. A mini stapler.
