Yoga follies

merchimerchThose of you who know me in person are aware that I'm rather buxom. This makes some yoga poses rather...interesting.
My Bosnian has been a yoga enthusiast for at least six months now, but until today he stuck with all-level or beginner classes, so he missed out on some of the more advanced poses like head stand, suptavirasana (lying down kneeling pose), and plow pose (where you balance on your shoulders with your torso as vertical in the air as possible and your legs behind you over your head -- here's a visual aid: http://www.yogajournal.com/poses/479).
Today was A's first intermediate level class and he was a total trooper when it came to trying the new poses.
Toward the end of class he came out of shoulder stand before I made the transition to plow (it was optional). So at this point I drop my legs to plow, allowing my boobs to flop down pretty much into my mouth as I fold from my hips. A chooses this moment to ask "Oh what pose is that?!?" I reply "mmmmpppph mmppppph," since I have a mouth full of sports bra and he starts chuckling and says "well honey, maybe this is a good time for us to have our little chats."
I busted up laughing. Not a mellow and respectful titter, but full on cackling and guffawing. It was raucous and disruptive. Luckily our yoga teacher likes rowdy students and laughing, so it was up her alley, but it was just such a perfect T&A yoga moment (though perhaps you had to be there).
