Do I do yoga? Only for the last 42 years. Not consistently, I admit, but I never go that long before I'm back to it. It has been a godsend, sometimes a pain in the ass godsend, but Lordy, you are right; when you do it, your body thanks you! And yes, it is easy to proselytize, as I believe I may have done to the author at certain points in the last few years. What a delightful surprise to find out he listened!
I’ve often thought about that if all else fails and I have to give up on my career, i’ll just be the white dude yogi with a man-bun and an intense passion for lentils that you know is secretly into the freaky stuff.
"You are old Father William, the young man said. And your hair has become very white. And yet you incessantly stand on your head--Do you think at your age it is right? In my youth Father William replied to his son, I feared it might injure the brain; But now that I'm perfectly sure I have none, Why, I do it again and again." Lewis Carroll
i was that kid who played for hours on end and never had repercussions. then gravity and time started their party on my ass and by 40 i got my first hip replacement. now deep into my 60s, i am so inflexible that i can't do the simplest of yoga poses. lying flat on my back is too stressful. can i go back 50 years and tell myself to strengthen and stretch? nope. can i rely on modern medicine to come up with something as wonderful as a quaalude to take my pain away? nope. i'm screwed.

I've been doing yoga for 20 years, and I...tolerate it because I know it's good for me. But I had to look up lizard pose. That was new to me.

I loooove yoga, especially if it’s REALLY HOT in the room where you’re doing it. Our apartment in the summer works
I don’t do yoga but I see Steven as he twists and stretches. I feel more limber just watching him!
i love yoga. so so much. even when i’m tired or hungover or lazy or grumpy or just not in the mood… it’s always a good idea.
it brings me joy that you too enjoy it. it’s a cult that truly wants nothing in return. namaste.
Yoga is the truth and I've only just begun...
I'll give it a try as long as I don't have to wear those pants!
Ok ok I’ll go back to yoga! I stopped ten years ago and am really regretting it! Are you happy now? Geez!
