Day 119: Hatha Fusion

beer1This was a more advanced class. I really enjoyed it. The class moved slowly to really let us get in and out of the poses with strength. One thing I need to work on is not letting smells bother me in class. The student next to me was a guy who smelled like he just drank a pitcher of beer…not a good smell when you are seeking balance and inner peace. I’m from Portland, so of course I love beer, I just don’t want to smell it in yoga practice. Towards the end of class, he let out a big fart and then tried to move to the front of his mat to escape it. I moved to the front of my mat…to escape it also! :-) In wind removing type poses it is natural that some people let out little farts. I think this guys was so big because of the beer. Beer makes you fart, so don’t drink a bunch right before class. It also impairs judgement, so one would be risking injury to do an advanced class right after imbibing. Friends don’t let friends drink and do yoga!
