Tammy,<\/p>\n
I was at a yoga class this week.\u00a0 We were doing a pose which involves a lot of stretching and produces a lot of stress; well, at least in my mind.\u00a0 I heard a noise that was louder than a yogi\u2019s normal ujjayi breathing.\u00a0 It was more powerful than an asthmatic dying from a wheezing attack.\u00a0 It was like somebody was snoring really, really loudly; in fact, it sounded like a wildebeest was roaming around the room.\u00a0 I was skeeved and my skin started to crawl.\u00a0 What’s going on?\u00a0 What’s the matter with this thing?\u00a0 Wait a second.\u00a0 Nobody brought their animal to class today.\u00a0 Could a person actually sound this way?\u00a0 I hope he has it checked out; if not, the next thing you know everybody will start making the loudest and strangest noises.\u00a0 The type A personalities will battle to have the best yoga noise and they will be put on Yoga Journal’s website.\u00a0 If the hideous noise is stopped now, an epidemic similar to the grunting in tennis will be narrowly averted.<\/p>\n
I’m entitled to a pristine class, without revolting noises.\u00a0 Isn’t that a promise in the brochure of every yoga studio?\u00a0 After all, how can I practice my focus if there is something distracting me?<\/p>\n
