You Tore What??

If you read my blog regularly, and I hope you do, you'll know that I espouse the benefits of yoga, not just for running, but for life. Keeps you stretched out! Builds bone density! Creates balance (both figuratively and literally)! Regulates your breathing! Prevents injury! Causes you to fart (seriously this link is funny if you're immature) uncontrollably in front of others!!


Today, however, I learned of a new yoga benefit. We were doing a pose - the layman's term is "hurdler" - it kind of looks like this (no this is not me unfortunately).

The main point is that you are holding your weight and splitting your legs. The girl who was next to me (Pam) is a dancer and she is disgustingly flexible. So she was doing this pose to it's utmost potential, really showing me up, when the teacher yelled out: "Hey look at Pam! She's getting a free episiotomy today!" Now if you haven't had kids and haven't had the pleasure of the episiotomy experience, feel free to check out the link. I don't think I'll go into the gorey details on this blog, if you know what I mean.

Changing subjects even though I know you love the episiotomy talk...today I got some samples from Stoneyfield Farm - their Greek Oikos yogurt - to try and to review on this blog. At the risk of sounding pretty cool, I think I am the best person to try and review this yogurt, because I lived in Greece for four years, and Greek yogurt was a staple in my diet. But more on that and my Greek adventures if you tune in next time...
