Funny things we say

 In yoga class the other day, I said, "press your weight evenly into your hands." Of course, everyone was standing up. Because these students know me well, they laughed and reminded me that they were on their feet. Things like that happen all the time. Imagine a recording of all the silly things I've said while teaching. After 24 years, I imagine that it would be quite a reel.

I cue things like, "feel your psoas stretch in this pose; reach down through your sitz bones; feel your breath in your pelvic floor; and the list goes on." I'm laughing as I write this. Maybe it's not as funny to you, but I bet there are things you or your yoga teacher or any one for that matter have said that have made you laugh out loud.  I would love to hear them. Below is a very funny list I thought you might like.

  2. Years ago I had a yoga instructor tell me to "inflame" my pelvic floor instead of "engage". We both realized what she had said at the same time and burst out laughing.

  3. Ha, ha, ha-Marga you reminded me of one I haven't heard in a while, "blossom your buttocks." Thanks Kari. Great class last night.
