ExiledInIllinois Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 Seconded. My last lady friend was a yoga instructor... I would highly recommend yoga. Maybe the tame stuff... But this stuff above is downright freaky! I am getting sick to my stomach looking @ these freaks! Some of the crazy stuff is just not normal and belongs behind a tent where they charge you a few bucks to take a peek... LoL... Really, you don't feel queasy looking @ the contortionists?

Some of the poses in this thread are indeed crazy, I was just speaking more to the idea that a woman who practices yoga regularly brings some added benefits to a relationship.
BuffaloBud Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 (edited) The very extreme poses are due to a number of factors. Muscle flexibility, joint alignment / flexibility, and the number of years practicing. You don't achieve some of these poses with out practicing every day. I've been practicing a couple of days per week for almost 8 years and have noticed a marked change in my flexibility, posture, attitude. However, there are some simple poses that I still am not able to achieve. And at my age I will more than likely not get there. But, I try every time. Edited October 13, 2015 by BuffaloBud

That is the tops of the ears inside the opening to ear canal. Does that count as flexibility?
BringBackFergy Posted October 13, 2015 Author Posted October 13, 2015 pretty sure i fell in love watching thatBack off...she's mine.

\GoBillsInDallas/ Posted October 14, 2015 Posted October 14, 2015 Yoga...I think I'm gonna go to a class or two BringBackFergy at his first yoga class:
Beerball Posted October 14, 2015 Posted October 14, 2015 BringBackFergy at his first yoga class: that's T-Bone!!!
Pete Posted October 14, 2015 Posted October 14, 2015 BringBackFergy at his first yoga class: that is a pretty athletic move for a fat slob. Go ahead and try the move- it is harder then it looks
The Poojer Posted October 14, 2015 Posted October 14, 2015 i bet i couldn't do it, i tried yoga a few times and it kicked my ass....i should go back, i have zero flexibility that is a pretty athletic move for a fat slob. Go ahead and try the move- it is harder then it looks
Pete Posted October 14, 2015 Posted October 14, 2015 i bet i couldn't do it, i tried yoga a few times and it kicked my ass....i should go back, i have zero flexibility stick with it and you will gain flexibility. What was initially tough for me was the balance poses. Weight training makes you top heavy and off kilter. After time I became a lot more flexible and balanced
Chef Jim Posted October 14, 2015 Posted October 14, 2015 My wife joined yoga awhile back and showed me some of the poses and was pissed how easy it was for me, at least the balance poses. My flexibility sucks but my balance is excellent. All I can figure is it's from decades of skiing?

ExiledInIllinois Posted October 14, 2015 Posted October 14, 2015 that is a pretty athletic move for a fat slob. Go ahead and try the move- it is harder then it looks Actually, it is pretty easy because of the wall... I wanna see the big dude do it in the middle of the floor. this was easy for you? I have been skiing over 30 years and still found some balance poses difficult Now that, IMO, looks NOT freaky... And actually appealing... The other contortionist stuff is downright disgusting and a turn-off.
Chef Jim Posted October 14, 2015 Posted October 14, 2015 (edited) this was easy for you? I have been skiing over 30 years and still found some balance poses difficult I guess you don't understand the word some. So you pull out one of the hardest poses. Edited October 14, 2015 by Chef Jim

Who the eff is thinking about having sex/power/control? In what appreciate about the form is either freaky looking or artistic. What the hell is wrong w/people. Boom goes the fuse... :-/ Edited October 14, 2015 by ExiledInIllinois

BuffaloBud Posted October 14, 2015 Posted October 14, 2015 Half moon pose. Well done, even for someone that size!! I even struggle with that. Skiing, cycling, surfing, those type of activities are all balance related which make balance poses a bit easier. that is a pretty athletic move for a fat slob. Go ahead and try the move- it is harder then it looks
