Today, I felt flexible in my yoga class. I put my legs in the butterfly position and tried to press them down. Both my hips popped very painfully and I screamed in the middle of a quiet room. FML

Same thing different taste

Today, before class I was trying to prove I can twist myself like the people on the front of my anatomy textbook, I got onto a table and twisted my ankles behind my head. Everyone seemed impressed until I farted so loudly that it echoed in the hallway. I couldn't get my legs unstuck. FML

Fight yoga, try stress

Today, I went to a yoga class, thinking it would be good for my stiff calf from running. I pulled my back out doing the downward dog. Now can't get out of bed. FML

Fight yoga, try anxiety

By Anonymous - 16/01/2023 02:00

Today, I started yoga to help with my stress and overall health. I also got a "hit by a truck" migraine in the middle of my second downward dog pose, and spent the last 20 minutes of the 30 minute lesson curled up in fetal position on my new yoga mat. FML

Today, we were doing stretches in dance class where you are on your hands and doing the splits in the air while your partner helps hold you and stretch your legs further. Right as I lift my left leg up, I farted hugely right in my partner's face. I couldn't make eye contact for the rest of class. FML

Today, in dance class, the instructor asked me to demonstrate the splits to the group. I slid down, my legs opening wider as I descended. I then loudly farted for the full 5 seconds it took to reach the ground. FML

Today, I went to a yoga class for the first time in a few years. When I went to change afterwards, I realized I'd split my pants at some point during the class. I think I understand why the girls behind me were laughing so hard now. FML

Namaste

By Anonymous - 10/06/2024 09:00 - United States - Miami

Today, I tried a new workout at my local gym. I thought I'd attempt some yoga poses I'd seen online. Mid-pose, I lost my balance and knocked over a row of weights, causing a loud crash and drawing everyone's attention. FML

Today, I had a panic attack. Not on a crowded train, or an airplane, or in school, or any of the expected places. It was in my yoga class, which my therapist recommended for me, while I was in a dead-body position. FML

Today, I let out the most horrific, loudest, and most vile smelling fart I have ever had in my life while in the middle of yoga class. Out of embarrassment, I tried to lessen the tension in the silent room by giggling, but no one saw the funny side. I was given looks of horror, and avoided by everyone else for the rest of the class.

Today, I was doing a demonstration in front of my taekwondo class because I'm flexible. Really flexible. I kneed myself in the face and broke my nose. FML

Your hips don't lie

Yoga is all about yielding. It's goes against the very principle of yoga to force your body into a position it's not ready for.

Owww, I felt that. Please don't push yourself OP. Yoga takes time and patience

Lesson learned: if you cannot achieve the desired position easily, you should not force it.

I thought this was going in the direction of you ripping a huge fart, which would have been only slightly more embarrassing.

OH My ! Hope you have recovered OP, Did you stretch at all before attempting this position ? may have helped loosened you up a bit

You have 2 hips? Should I call Ripley's Believe it or Not?

I'm sure they'd believe it seeing as most people have two hips?

33 is being nitpickiny about the OP's use of grammar as, apparently, hips is a set of two singular hips. Hip. Point being 33 was being overly specific.

33 was also being incorrect. All people have two hips, but one pelvis. The word hip literally refers to the joint, of which you have two.

Flexibility is not a feeling. It is a range of ability to stretch muscles, tendons, and ligaments. What you may have been feeling is overconfident in your ability.
