I’m also the type who could never get through a yoga class without giggling. But you already knew that, didn’t you?
The trouble is that it’s VERY dangerous for a 40 something woman to contort her body into a strange position in a quiet room full of other people and then giggle. I Imagine that it would make it hard to maintain control of certain bodily functions – if you know what I mean (think Psycho-Chick at the mall here) And I’m thinkin’ that could lead to some pretty embarrassing situations.

LOL!!! I even tried to imagine keeping my eyes shut so the picture of the funny positions was not a factor–but the things they SAY–”breathe-FEEL your breath-be one inside your world–acheive sameness with your spirit” SNORT snort GUFFAW–I would SOOO need to laugh or burst a vessel trying not to.
You are totally right-the bladder is always the first to mutiny–although I might even spurt my organic chia/wheatgrass smoothie through my nose just entering the room–sort of a pre-yoga hilarity warm-up! who am I kidding-just trying on the clothes would have me in stitches for days–I could bust a gusset unrolling my ergonomic sticky mat!
If WE were together at the same class….whoooo–eeeee they might need to call the paramedics-like when you have been tickled too much and can’t breathe? Eye contact with you would do me in!

I actually took a yoga class a few years ago and I really liked it. And it was a lot more exercise than you would think. But, our teacher was battling breast cancer and we did it in the church hall as part of a prayer group weight loss thing so there weren’t any skinny girls or any wheat grass and sometimes we did giggle, but mostly we just tried to keep up with our instructor who was doing great despite her chemo etc. It just depends on the point of view.

Yoga???
Now, what’s bought this on, Dandelionmom?
I love your new header!
(just for the record – so not a yoga girl.)

I was watching something or other on Youtube and a woman was doing 2 hours of “hot yoga” (in a 98 degree room with 70% humidity)–all those poses and sweat dripping and the lady saying things in that voice-you know ultra calm and AFFIRMING??? I was laughing so hard I could not catch my breath-tears running down my face.
I would be agaist it anyway (if I could find my serious bone)–tooo many connections to eastern mysticism–not surface but built on an anti-God foundation.

Thanks on the header too–had to go check which one it was-I forgot!
Mary-I am glad you are not saddled with the handicap I am–I do see how hard it would be to do-and probably beneficial too–it just strikes me as FUNNY! can’t help it–I laugh ….a lot….I see many things in life as funny–I can amuse myself very easily–if all else fails I can make up a running dialog of what some animal or another that I am watching is saying to himself. cross-country bicyclists? A TOTAL KILL!! COMEDY GOLD!

Ow! It’s hurting me. Dandelionmom, please change my “bought” to “brought”. The grammar section of my brain must have been having a spasm when I wrote that.

I’m so glad you clarified what hot yoga is. I was imagining all sorts of anonymous groups you would need to attend in order to overcome your unwholesome viewing habits!
Bit of shock that was, this early in the morning..
I do get the giggle factor about such things. It can be hard work at times overcoming the inclination, as there are times when it is just highly inappropriate for me to cut up. I’m hoping that either I will acquire a keener sense of propriety as I age, or that I will have the delight of discovering people don’t require it in old folk.

OH–keep laughing BB!! A giggly old lady is a NICE thing!–as opposed to bossy or cranky or…well-you get the idea! it’s not the kind of laughter that makes fun of other people-just sees humor in things…plus-you know the harder you try not to laugh the sooner you end up snorting or making some other noise-that is funny…the cycle continues….let it out before you hurt yourself
