Second, there's the whole cultural appropriation stuff, and as I would naturally wish to do yoga while wearing a sombrero and cooking pho, it just seems like inviting trouble.
Nonetheless, I'm amazed by the wide variety of impossible poses, postures, and whatnot available to the yoga devota, and their incredible mouth-bending names. Like:
Adho Mukha Vrksasana
Agnistambhasana
Anjaneyasana
Chakravakasana
Eka Pada Rajakapotasana
Hanumanasana
Natarajasana
Parivrtta Ardha Chandrasana
Salamba Sarvangasana
Triang Mukhaikapada Paschimottanasana
I think a Venn diagram would show that many of the people who know what these are would be the same as the people who tell you never to eat something you can't pronounce. But it's okay to do something you can't pronounce? I call shenanigans!
There are a handful of poses I think I might be able to do, as follows:
Bananaramasana Three point stance while holding your Venus |
Roninsana Pick up phone firmly in one hand; call broker |
Roseanne Rosannadannasana Frequent hand gestures required |
Alabamaslammasana Seated position, elbow bent |
Downward Facing Sickasa Dog Follows Alabamaslammasana |
Advilo Mukha Vrksasana What people like me would need after trying yoga |
