SORRY I POSTED THIS ON THE WRONG FORUM - I MEANT IT FOR THE RNY BOARD -...

Salamba Sirsana - Supported Headstand Yoga Pose - I did it! with my wrists pressed firmly to the floor and my palms clasped together and behind my head I inhale and I lift my knees off the floor walking my feet closer to my elbows - I lift my thighs and firm my shoulder blades - I exhale and I lift my feet away from the floor both of them at the same time and I am pointing them to the ceiling - in perfect alignment - this woman who could hardly get up a flight of stairs a year ago standing on her head in a yoga stance - the body feeling strong and relaxed, the brain feeling fortified - it was about the tenth time trying to do this stance - and I am doing it!  I am focussed -  I start thinking it is a wonder all the mojo on my belly is being held in place by spandex and lycra - even my "tetas" are in the little lycra top perfectly in place - toned mojo???? at one point in the beginning I thought all the mojo would defy gravity and come tumbling out the pants and bra and rest on my chin - but it didn't - I was feeling soooooooo proud of myself - I am in perfect shape - I lost my weight and hey look at me now - I can stand on my head - voila I can I hold it for 10 seconds? or 15? maybe 20? - I am shooting for the sky.  I am working it or I was certainly trying until POP! POP POP POP POP POP POP!the sista next to me whose butt was still on the floor - at the level of my head! - decides to pass gas - it shouldn't bother me right? because I am concentrating right? because I am a nurse after all right? well that was the end of Salamba Sirsana the headstand fast became the sprawl your butt all over the floor Martita because this here sista hit the floor after inhaling a big whiff of smelly gas that stayed with me for hours - could not even enjoy my dinner last night - it was sooooooooo gross! Next time I stand on my head I am going to make sure the coast is clear - yoga or not!  The gross smell is still with me - oh gross I got to get it out of my head ... I am all about love and sharing but this gas was the straw that broke this camel's back.... Doing yoga again tonight -- wondering if there is a gas mask????

Two weeks ago I was lying down in the sauna.  The woman near me did youknowwhat.  In a sauna room--imagine what happens to that air bubble in a closed off hot room!
