Just Say Om

My announcement came at dinner time. "Guess what guys, we have plans for tonight!" John and Tanner responded with looks of mild interest. "You are going to learn Yoga!" They laughed and went back to their conversation. I interrupted again a few moments later to let them know they would have a half hour after dinner to get changed into suitable yoga gear and mentally prepare for their quest in search of Om.

After inserting the Yoga World DVD and convincing John of the high probability of beer spillage if he didn't forfeit his beer bottle, the guys stifled their giggles and settled into cross legged poses on the floor.

It appeared as if John was a born natural when he easily slipped into the Lotus pose. All & all it went remarkably well and I haven't laughed so hard in ages. No one was hurt when Downward Dog balance problems occured and there were frequent groans and complaints, which were not sympathized with. Only laughed at. John really got into rhythm when he realized that we didn't need to crane our necks up to see the tv screen in order to know when to change poses. The considerably loud sound of Tanner's knees cracking became our cue.

The guys endured the entire 45 minute DVD. You can see them here in the final pose, the Corpse pose, at which point they farted and fell asleep.
