Who has bigger muscles than everybody else but who breathes through his mouth and takes little “breaks” throughout class to gulp water and “re-center” his thoughts (i.e. admire his own arms in the mirror) while everybody around him is upside down balanced on one leg for like four fucking minutes.

Bwah-ha-ha! Try being the ex-smoker, out of shape, Cuban fatty who can’t do a forward bend and touch his knees while surrounded by retired flatulent folk in a Qigong class. I think the word for it is “humbling.”
But I was in your shoes once and know how you feel. Reason why I don’t do yoga any more.

I was always the way too sweaty guy in every cycling class. I was raised to give it my all and if that means that I have to wear all black so that people don’t see my sweaty marks then so be it.

It passes. This I know from experience. Now stop admiring your arms and pay attention.

Hey
As a yoga instructor i will tell you-it will all work out-at least you have the muscles already. Now it’s just the easy part-breathing.

Completely know the feeling re yoga. But currently I’d rather have bigs arms & abs for the summer than be able to touch my toes (which I can do… but with a little tiny bend in the knee). Glad all is well in SF - NY misses you - post more pix of the pooch!

uhm. hyper-masculine men do yoga?!
the funniest thing that ever happened in yoga was the instructor wanted us to “breath out of our assholes”. she was serious.
