Yoginis Say the Darnedest Things

Incident One

Some time ago, I was looking out from our yoga room over the entrance to the building (our room in on the second floor and has one wall which is mostly glass).

I noticed that there was a pretty female triathlete who was wearing tight spandex; she was bending over her gym bag. A guy walked out and his head swiveled to look at her; another guy walked out, same thing.

I start laughing.

The yogini asks me what is funny and I tell her.

She asks "what was she wearing" and I said "spandex shorts". She smiles, winks and says "I had better get some of those".

Incident Two

Today my yoga teacher (female) asked me if I had gotten an e-mail reply that she had sent me; I had sent her a photo of Fred Thompson's wife:

She sent me a one line reply: "That's disgusting".

I said that perhaps she (my teacher) should teach yoga while wearing something low cut and wondered how that would look when she lead us into the "flat back" bend position.

She laughed and said "well, maybe that would get my students, at least the guys, to keep their heads in line with their spines!"


Note: while looking up photos for this post, I stumbled across the following page:

Go there; the photo spread is outstanding.
