I wish I could still handle more wine. it would make things so much easier. And more fun. I practice yoga, too. The key word here is PRACTICE because I suck. Despite that? I get very annoyed by jackasses in class, like spillers-of-bottles, owners-of-cell-phones-that-ring-during-downdog, and crowders-of-my-space. I hope whoever was responsible for that mess did some groveling at your bloody foot.

I watched a horrible movie starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson called "Faster." I know, trust me, I am ashamed. Horrible shame aside -- This dude in the movie said the best line ever: I beat yoga.

Take that yoga! That is all.

By the way, thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment on my blog!

I lose my footing in Warrior One too. What gives? We're too old for yoga. Let's just have wine and call it a night.
Also, glad you're with me on the romance thing. Phew.

Obviously, the spray bottle culprit was not an enlightened yogi. they were a selfish, thoughtless idiot who was overly eager not to (god forbid) miss any freakin' poses.

I too am very into yoga and it definitely helps me with stress and health and all that crap that's supposed to matter. (okay, it does matter, I admit. but whatever.) But I've also learned -- after a long time -- that practicing yoga is also a state of mind. I once read a great quote that said something like: Knowing when not to practice yoga is incredibly yogic. Or some shit like that. IE the idea being, accept the foot thing. Don't stress about it, because you can't change it. I mean, you could seek revenge when you find out the identity of the spray bottle moron. But... not very yogic.

So... try and stay calm and... you could always try an exercise bike. That's what I do when the rest of me can't exercise, usually due to an injury. If you strap your foot into the pedal, you aren't really bending or flexing your foot too much, and use your hamstrings to pull and push the pedals around.

I know that's not very yogic advice, but it's practical advice from one who also needs exercise as a nearly daily form of meds. Without it, for sure I'd be on antidepressants or antianxiety or anti-living meds.

Good luck. I will now be much more careful when walking around that yoga room! And I have to admit that usually after class, as I make my way to the door, I often slip slightly in someone's puddle (ugh) of sweat. Who knew yoga was so full of perils?
