Yoga Pose of the Day

[realexplodingcat]

My yoga instructor looks absolutely beautiful when executing this pose (demonstrated by someone who is not my instructor). Seriously. She's a living work of art. During a practice recently, I did this same asana. I was rocking it like a hurricane. I'm thinking, "Damn, I feel pretty." But it didn't take me long to remember that I'm a man. I'm not even an androgynous 20-something anymore. I can't look "pretty" in that pose. I look more like a rusty old ship anchor. I even have barnacles in places the sun don't shine.

Edit: All right then. Pictures without barnacles. This is me without make-up and special effects. What did I tell you? This is me gussied up and with a helping hand.

Gah, I was so distracted by the need for pictures, I didn't notice I'd been logged out! Post pix. Please :)

All right. Edited. No barnacles.

w00t! Love the helping hand :)

You are *totally* rocking that pose. Now we need to see you in clothes as tight as hers, just to make a fair comparison, you see.

Tighter clothes, eh? You want to see my barnacles, don't you? ;)
