Downward facing thong

Have you ever done yoga in a thong? Well, I don't reccomend it.

As I scrambled to work today I thought I had everything in order with my bag of shirts to be dropped off at the dry cleaners (check) and my gym bag on the other shoulder. In it, I had remembered to pack my sports bra (check), stretchy yoga pants (check), sneakers (check), socks (check). But I forgot to bring extra underwear. Instead I had to wear what I was wearing that day, a thong. Wearing one in general is far from being completely comfortable but when bending, doing warrior position and walking up walls, it's especially unpleasant. It did keep my mind off the clock I'll tell you that much and continually had me laughing under my breath. Especially when the male instructor came by and put his hands on my waist and made me extend further in a particularly difficult Shiva position, causing my panties to lodge further.

Jac (that's the instructors name) always targets me like that tho and makes me go further into positions than I want to, despite his claim to the class that we can stop when ever we feel uncomfortable. Yet, he always makes me do the hard hand stands but lets the others use the wall or blocks. He's a French bully frankly. Yes, I know he's only doing his job, but tonight he seemed particularly gunning for me since I hadn't attended his class in a long time now that I basically do cardio workouts at the gym instead and he kept calling me Cara.

haha. I can give you a few "select" french phrases to spat back at him. "Je m'en fou" works nicely (I dont care/ I dont give a damn). lol

Actually, it's much more comfortable without any underware at all under your yoga pants.

OUCH!  I have to agree with April.  Sounds gross, but many yoga pants have the panty shields in them now.  I know that running pants and many cross-training pants have them built in for that purpose.

Ha! I actually usually wear thong underwear when I practice, it just feels more comfortable for me that way.  What studio do you go to? Or do you not wanna say. I'm just curious about other studios in the city.

Really? More power to you Marilyn. Practice Yoga (http://www.practiceyoga.com) on 14th street between 7th and 8th is super professional and nice, they have a studio on the UWS too. The classes last an hour and a half too. The music and atmosphere is pretty calming too. Now that I have a Crunch membership i take their 45 min classes too, which are good before working out but not enough as a stand alone.

That's cool they make pants for that purpose, it makes sense if using for sporting purposes. I could have went commando with the pants I had on and if i could have excused myself from the class for a second, I so would have flung that thong off. Coulda woulda shoulda, my bad.  Cheers!

Somehow I always miss the fun posts. I guess that is lucky for you.
