Just In Case You’re Taking This Yoga Stuff Too Seriously

You should check out YogaDawg — it’s the snarky lovechild of “Yoga Journal” and “The Onion.” I found myself laughing out loud at the descriptions of yoga students:

The Shirtless One is the bane of Yoga students and teachers alike. This dreaded student is naturally a male. With the first drop of sweat, they will whip their shirt off. They will think that they are great specimens of the human body. Whoever has the misfortune of being behind or next to the Shirtless One will be subjected to a sweaty and hairy back.

Inner Dialog: We really don’t know what the Shirtless one is thinking but the rest of the class will plead collectively, “Please don’t take your shirt off, please don’t… pretty please”. Of course he does.

And “yogatude”:

As you walk into the practice area, do not acknowledge or say anything to any student if one happens to be there. Additionally, don’t talk or look around while setting your mat up. Keep a centered look as if you possess great Yogic knowledge. With your “Yogatude” and a top of the line Yoga mat from the GreatTranscendentalYoga Superstore, you might even have some of the students fooled into thinking that your indeed, possess great Yogic knowledge.

It’s pretty snarky but obviously written by someone who’s been around the yoga block once or twice.
