Apparently a team of big men from New Jersey called the East Rutherford Giants are playing in a game today called the SuperbOwl. And they are using yoga to prepare! Just like I do for sailing.
According to the article in that link some lady called Gwen "whips the players into shape for gameday by coaxing them into pretzel-like positions."
This is a lady with a whip.
This is a pretzel.
I will leave the rest to your imagination.
Is that really a yoga pose? I'm not impressed, even accounting for a pro-Patriots and anti-Giants prejudice. I would prefer to see a Tillerman pose, and my favorite, of course, would be the lady with the whip.
ReplyDeleteToo much information yarg. Calm down.
ReplyDeleteActually I am thinking of doing a few (serious) posts about yoga over the coming weeks. Although I don't plan on posting any pictures of me doing it. But if I can find any pictures on Google Images of attractive young ladies doing the poses that I write about then I will post them here, for educational purposes only of course.
No more whips though.
Sorry.
That's a Philly pretzel, not an East Rutherford pretzel.
ReplyDeleteBaydog, I bow to your greater wisdom of pretzelship. I actually thought it was a Foxboro pretzel. Perhaps you should write a blog post about how to identify the terroir of a pretzel on your pretzel blog.
ReplyDeleteI remember authentic Philly pretzels looking more like this.
ReplyDeleteIn my old neighborhood, most of us thought yoga and yogurt are the same thing.
It wasn't until I moved to California that I found out there's a difference.
In my old neigbourhood we thought yoga and Yogi Bear were the same thing.
ReplyDeleteYoga, huh? Looks like it worked.
