a chat with the yogi........

Second week at yoga, trying to make it a habit to come every weekend. I had this conversation with the Yogi while lying on the floor, legs raised straight against the wall, and having the blood gushed back to the brain. He was making a remark, that in this position, with the ribs sticking out and the abdomen sucked in, we don't look too good but it's good for our internal organs. I kinda uttered under my breath that I don't mind my ribs sticking out and my abdomen flatten in for a change, haha. And he heard me...

Yogi:   Did you join yoga to lose weight?
Arteo:  No, for flexibility. (fingers crossed)
Yogi:   If you want to lose weight with yoga, I'll teach you. Every night, you must eat only raw food.
Arteo:  Sushi?
Yogi:   NO! Uncooked food!
Arteo:  Ah, I see...
Yogi:   Just vegetables and fruits. And you must do this every night.
Arteo:  Okay...
Yogi:   Daytime, you can take anything you want.
Arteo:  Can try...
Yogi:   Only fruits and vegetables you know....
Arteo:  Okay, I'll try....
Yogi:   No soft drinks, no tea....
Arteo:  Okay, I'll try.....
Yogi:   No coffee.
Arteo:  OH NOOOO!!
