Not off with a BANG, but a toot!

Why am I doing this to myself?

Have you ever taken a Yoga class? Were the "normals" discussed? You know, like passing gas? It is actually super common because of all the "stirring up" your body in ways you don't normally do on a day to day basis. I've been teaching now for 3 years and just about every class someone lets one rip.

Sometimes the person is open and honest and will say something like,"Whoops! Shouldn't have eaten that chili before class!" We all giggle then just let it go (oh the puns). Other times someone will let one fly and pretend nothing happened. In those cases we all pretend like nothing happened.

Well. This week, after 3 years, It. Was. Me. I should be comfortable with this, right? WRONG! I was up in front of class demonstrating the tree and , "pop!" Oh Sweet Lord! I even did the obligatory little cough after. You know, that tiny little bit of hope that my whole class would think it was a little cough? Riiight. I pretended nothing happened. Lame right? I should have at least had a cute, breezy little comment to make light. But I was too damn embarrassed.

What a way to start NaBloPoMo! Humiliation. Good God I hope I don't have any ex-boyfriends reading my blog because Wow! That would be embarrassing.

Oh who am I kidding? I probably farted in front of each one because I am totally hot that way!

Pffft.

Hahahhahaha!!! Oh my goodness! You totally crack me up! You are toooooo funny!!!

I have taken yoga classes before and can totally see how "passing gas" can happen!

I was once on the receiving end though! We were all following the instructor's stretches and positions, when the guy in front of me let one rip. The only sucky part was that I was positioned so that his butt was practically in my face. I can laugh at it now, but I think I was probably more mortified than he was! LOL!

Happy Day 1! What a great way to start off the NaBloPoMo!

I'm sorry, but I'm still laughing as I write this, because I too am guilty for "trying to cover it up with a caugh" during a yoga class. Of course I didn't get away with it, because my best friend started to crack jokes....that's what they are for right?:o)
