or what I like to call holYoga.
My friend invited me to go to a yoga class with her last night. It turned out the class was at a large church nearby and "facilitates physical worship of our Lord through prayer, meditation on scripture, breath work, and yoga poses." Ok, cool, I'm down with that. I can try something new.
It would have been kind of cool if it hadn't been so funny. The instructor had a sort of high-pitched, LOUD, sing-songy voice. I want you to imagine you are in a dim, candle-lit room with nice worship music playing, all contorted into some sort of pretzel-y position and you hear, "NOW FEEEEEEEEEL THE LIIIIIGHT OF CHRIIIIIST FILL YOUR BOOOODY AS YOU REEEEEEACH FOR YOUR TOOOOOES..." Hee.
My favorite was at the end. We were all enjoying savasana when the instructor began to bring the lights back up and intoned "NOW I WANT YOU TO BEGIN TO SLOOOOWLY WIIIIIGGLE YOUR FINGERS AND TOOOOES AND FEEL JESUS SMIIIIILING DOWN ON YOU." Definitely ended the class with a smile.
A kick-ass workout AND some entertainment - I'm SO going back next week. :)

Oh... my... crap that is so freakin' hilarious!
I will never be able to do yoga again without giggling as I think of this.
I hope you all remembered to "Thaaaank yooour bodieeeees." Namaste. :)
Savasana "is not recommended for meditation as it has a tendency to induce sleepiness."
Fact. I have fallen asleep during savasana before.
