i do, however, hate downward facing dog with a passion. it's probably one of the hardest positions for me because of my tight hamstrings, and yet it's probably the most common pose in every class i go to. no matter what we do, it ends with chataronga to upward dog to downward dog, then just hang out there for a while. it may be peaceful for others but it kicks my ass. there are other positions that are also quite difficult for me, but i know if i get through that one set then we move on to something else, whereas with downward dog i just know it's coming back again and again. i guess if i do it enough then i'll eventually get better eh?

down, fido, down!
i've been going to yoga on what is becoming a more regular basis (up from the twice a year i used to... whether i needed it or not, right?). i love yoga, not all the hippie third-eye oneness stuff but the physical aspects. stretching, building muscle, relieving tension, all that good stuff.

Mmm, yoga. I appreciate it. Usually even the - what did you call it - hippie third eye oneness. It's nice to have parts of one's day that are refreshing and different.
Just a few days ago, my friend was in the downward dog position and made awkward eye contact with the guy who was behind her. So from her perspective, his face was framed by her crotch area. I don't think this would count as a cute meeting if they end up dating.
