Deep Thoughts From a 6am Backbend

I detest mornings. As such, I hate morning yoga. I hate it with a zealousness that could choke large mammals. Water buffalo. Possibly an average-sized T-rex. That is to say that I hate morning yoga more than I want tiger scorpion. Yeah, I said it. Poop just got real.

If the yoga fairy were to visit me in the night and say unto me, "Kate, I will give you a tiger scorpion so beautiful that Bikram himself will quake to look upon it, and in return you will do 6am yoga for a week." I would retort with some bull-cocky excuse about how I know yoga isn't about instant answers and the struggle is where the learning is, but inside I would be cursing that fairy for knowing my Achilles' heel.

The Yoga Fairy exists in state of perpetually perfect standing bow.*

  3. Hilarious. I just got back from a 12pm class and that is only just about ok. Even 9:30 kills me. Yesterday my lovely (morning person) boyfriend slept over and when we woke up I was feeling a little guilty about being such a grump. Later I started to wonder whether I was addicted to being grumpy. Then I read a horoscope that said I should be happy and let go of grumpy habits. Then today, my boyfriend sent me this link. Haha, I'm not convinced but I suppose waking up like this might help change the early morning/early yoga attitude?

  4. srf888, I am SO trying that. Not sure how to fit both feet on the sink, but I'll figure it out. Also, congratulations for making it work with a morning person. If The Boy were a morning person I think I would have knocked his block off years ago. Thank goodness we are both horrible people until at least noon. ;)
