Yoga Class No-Nos
By JCat
As a follow-up to last month’s article on Asana Etiquette, here is a supplement list of things you absolutely should NOT ever do.
DO NOT:
- Suck your thumb during Happy Baby Pose

Not a therapy session!
- Scratch your behind and munch on a banana during Hanumanasana

Please, don't pick it.
- Use Forward Fold as an opportunity to clip your toenails

Gross, anyone?
- Wiggle your tongue like Gene Simmons during Lion’s Breath Pranayama

Um...yeah.
- When the teacher asks if there are any requests, say, “Can we do some Yoga?”
- Refer to a Savasana Adjustment as a “Happy Ending.”
- Forget to tell the teacher at the start of class that you’re pregnant. (If you get pregnant DURING class, no such warning is needed.)
ALSO GOOD TO REMEMBER:
Props-
Strap, Eye Pillow, Block = GOOD
Ball Gag, Gimp Mask = BAD
Sounds-
When your teacher invites you to make any sound you want, this is not an invitation to hum the Batman theme.
