Welcome to the Cellar, review168. :)
Yoga? If I was that flexible I could think of better ways to use that flexibility with a consenting adult.
What are you running, a forum clearinghouse?

No.

Brett's Honey 12-05-2005 01:40 AM

Sorry.

I'm sure someone here does! (I just saw that was your first post).

Welcome to the cellar!!!

I really liked him in The Empire Strikes Back. I'm not as impressed with the CGI rendering in episodes 1-3, but I still like the way he talks.

Oh. Wait.

Nevermind.

Skinny barefoot chicks in spandex stretching and doing breathing exercises? Yes, please.

Oh, wait, that was out loud.

I like the fruit on the bottom varieties, especially the sugarfree varieties.

Oh...wait...yoga, not yogurt. I used to like it when I was young and flexible. It was my first introduction to energy flow through the Universe and the body. I have since found ways to use all that stuff without contorting my body into weird positions.

seakdivers 12-07-2005 12:06 AM

If I was that flexible, I wouldn't be ohming & ahming - I'd be Ooooohing and Aaaahing

ok gross on my part. my bad.

Snow Flake 12-08-2005 06:56 PM

I pratice it.

marichiko 12-09-2005 12:39 AM

I always thought Yoga was stupid, but his little side-kick, Boo-boo, was sort of cute.

review168 12-24-2005 06:51 AM

yoga is a good execise~

Lucy 12-25-2005 08:13 PM

I liked him on those AFLAC commercials.
Oh wait, you said yoga not Yogi Berra.
Sorry. As you were.

wolf 12-25-2005 08:37 PM

Ooh! Yoga!! May the Schwartz Be With You!!

Oh, wait, that was Yogurt.

nevermind.

FYI all you Yoga-hating people! I AM TAKING AN ASHANTI YOGA CLASS starting next week!

Due to the unmistakable facts that I am #1) an actual blob of buttery fat, #2) move like an arthritic moose, #3) becoming so estranged from humanity that I may stop speaking the human language, and, #4) to meet like-minded men who aren't afraid to wear a leotard in public. Maybe we'll go for herbal tea after...(insert fantasy about "meeting kind, sensitive, yoga-going man who will drink herbal tea with me and then fall madly in love with me and turn out to be lonely millionaire who travels a lot and wishes to shower me with better things in life" here.)

wolf 12-26-2005 09:43 AM

Sorry hon, but the one man in your class is going to be 75. And flexible, which is a good thing. But gay.

Lucy 12-26-2005 10:37 AM

:lol:
You are funny, wolf. And oh so correct.

Trilby 12-26-2005 10:47 AM

Oh, I see! I can only find a 70 year-old gay guy (but, flexible) at yoga class, eh? Well, what if I decide to take up blacksmithing instead? Hmmmmm?

ArcReforged 12-26-2005 12:29 PM

I watched this documentary on Yoga where these indian guys swallowed 5 pounds of butter and did all this crazy stuff with their stomach, twisting and turning their arms. It was freaky. The documentary said that after this vigourous excercise, they lose weight rather than gaining it.

Holy Crap.

Kitsune 12-27-2005 02:26 PM

Alright, what kind of yoga are we talking about, here? The "stretch until your back pops and eyes bug-out" yoga, the "breath in all sorts of weird patterns until you pass out yoga", or the "spiritual, cleanse yourself with diet and meditation" kind?

I took a class that was a mix of all three in a way. The stretching was wonderful, but the breathing exercises and spiritual stuff was...a little weird. We were also instructed to eat vegan for a solid two weeks, which was not advertised in the initial offering. I didn't have much of a problem going along with that, but the self-induced hyperventilating was so creepy. Yes, it did relax me in the end, but it wasn't something I felt comfortable doing, nor did it feel very safe.

It depends, I think, on the instructor and type of yoga and I have no idea what the differences are in all of them. I was simply hoping to un-telescope my spine a bit, but instead I got a lesson in the art of oxygen deprivation and CO2 overdoses.

Not my thing.

HappyMushroom 12-30-2005 12:12 PM

Im sure Yoga is fine.. (but who is yoga?)

xoxoxoBruce 12-30-2005 03:04 PM

Welcome to the Cellar, HappyMushroom. :)
Stick around and maybe we'll find out together.

monster 01-03-2006 10:58 PM

I do power-yoga. And I almost enjoy it. But then I'm so flexible I put pipe-cleaners to shame and it's the only way I can get one over on the thinner chicks..... :p

Wendy 01-31-2006 05:29 PM

To like Yoga, yougotta be patient as hell, I don't think I'm the type.

Becca 01-31-2006 10:05 PM

Yoga is wonderful! After two people coming out of my body (that would be childbirth! tsk, tsk) it is the only thing that helps my hip joints and overall sense of well being. This is after almost 9 years. I just practice at home with Rodney Yee on DVD or other tapes. Nothing too crazy just nice deep stretches. mmmm

xoxoxoBruce 02-03-2006 04:31 AM

Try it, if it works for you,... great, if not.....quit. Just don't lay out a ton of money for mats and clothing up front. ;)
