OMG, bitchez!
I did a full camel pose today. Wooohoooo!
For those of you who don't know what a full camel pose is, it's the pose that was created so that people can smell their own feet.
Like this lady below. She's just having a swell time smelling her feet. I heard some people are kinda into that. You know, smell your own feet. It's really gross though. yak.
Anyway, I was able to do this pose for the first time today. It isn't really much of an achievement really because progress is normal in yoga and I should stop being this annoying, self-serving douchebag who brags about the postures I'm able to do. Bragging and all that jazz. Something tells me that it isn't really what yoga is all about. har har.
It's more about pushing yourself.
So the thing is, halfway through the class, I started feeling really dizzy and thought I was going to die pass out. For real, yo. I never once have skipped a pose since I started yoga. Today, however, I just couldn't take it anymore. Something was telling me that I was gonna fall flat onto my face if I didn't stop. So I dropped into child's pose and rested there for a while. If I hadn't taken a break, I would most definitely have passed out. (I'm an idiot and forgot my water bottle today.)
So I gave up.
And then I got up again.
It really was a struggle for the first 60 mins and I cursed myself for forgetting to bring a water bottle, for having had too much too drink and smoke over the weekend, for being such an idiot and forgetting to eat properly the whole day. Basically, I was just a self-loathing wreck until I just said to myself: "You stupid, bitch. It's just a yoga class. Get over it." And so I kinda just relaxed my tits from then on and took it easy. And lo and behold, the last 30 mins were awesome. It felt like total bliss. In fact, I don't think I ever felt that STOKED in the few weeks I've been doing yoga.
And then the most awesome thing happend.
After the class my instructor asked me if I wanted to try out a more difficult pose and I stayed behind while everyone else was getting their drink on (bitchez).It was just my instructor, his blue-checkered speedos and me left in the heated yoga room. Nice. "A dream come true?" I asked myself. *Wink Wink*
But, he told me to try out the full camel pose. Ngek.
Bummer.
Anyway, the rest is history. I did the full camel pose. Yey! And now my back is broken. Yey! But still, I hold my head up high. Not because I was able to do the pose, but because I didn't give up and pushed myself to continue.
And I think that's what yoga really is about and is trying to teach us.
So kids, the lesson for today is this: Whenever you feel like giving up, just keep on going. You will be able to achieve much more than you thought you would be able to. And: something amazing almost always happens right after that.
NAKS. ( I sound like a such a douchebag.)
Ps.: Have I told you about this dude who refuses to wear speedos? Yeah, he wears shorts instad.
I know what you guys are thinking. You're thinking: "Isn't that a good thing? Wouldn't you much prefer shorts over speedos?" Well, bitchez. The answer is No. I would much rather prefer looking at speedos than looking at men who think it's okay to wear lose shorts but no panty under their shorts. Dude naman, that is just foul.
So this dude who was in front of me today is precisely one of those guys who think they're too cool for school and refuse to wear speedos or panty or whatever would keep their balls chained up . Which is why, whenever he does this pose.....
....I kinda always see his hairy balls. Gross.
Tudelu!
