So, yesterday in bellydance class this girl that I have been seeing a lot in my classes comments on how yoga is so serious. Uhhhh....Duh.
She thinks we should be able to laugh and joke, and then comments on how hard I concentrate. It's a stretching class where you are focusing on specific muscles. Perhaps they even state that this class is relaxing?
No, no honey, you are right. Go ahead and crack some jokes. It's so easy to remain in downward dog with one leg in the air while I am chatting about Justin Timberlake's new break up and Lady Gaga's new hideous outfit.
"Like OMG, Holy Cow, Can you believe it???" can be heard echoing off the walls..... I'm sure eastern monks did the same thing while trying to open their third chakras. "Dude, did you see Bill's new tunic? He wishes he could pull off that blue."

in one of my recent yoga classes a group of highschoolers decided to give it a try. Their shrieking and giggling throughout was pretty much the most annoying, un-relaxing thing ever. Yargh!
I'm sorry, but the only thing I can think of is that if someone was in downward facing dog and started to laugh, I imagine they'd pass gas and then fall down in a heap or limbs.
Maybe I just watch too many movies.
I tried to watch a yoga class on tv and couldn't get into it because that's what the instructor did- walk around and crack jokes. It so unnerved me that I gave up that yoga program.
