Serenity now

Tuesday is yoga day and the new yoga instructor is pretty amusing; she has different ways of making us laugh and forget that we're contorting our bodies in weird ways. Today, for instance, she said, "Here's a question for you. Can you touch your nose to your knee? If you can't, the answer is no."

Along the same lines, when we were working on the pigeon pose, our yoga instructor said, "Extra credit if you can get your head to touch your foot."

And somewhere from the back of the room, amidst all the groaning, sighing and contorting, a voice piped up: "It's not worth it."
