To think if you can't control your sphincter

[Brokenchair1]

You shouldn't go to a yoga class!

Fair enough that the odd trump occasionally pops out (never happened to me but can see that it might) but to fart on and off throughout the class at every change of position I think is fairly grim.

Bearing in mind we are trying to avoid peoples oral fumes, I don't want to spend 50 minutes breathing in their anal ones!

Before I get attacked by people mentioning physical problems that may cause gas, I have suffered from IBS in the past and would not attend a yoga class if I knew I was having a particularly bad day.

YABU - Everyone can enjoy yoga, even if they are tooting throughout the class.
YANBU - that is grim.

‘@anordinarymum. I'm sorry, but I can't stop myself from asking. Do you keep the long necked bottle next to the loo brush? Which should probably be a whole new thread!‘

Now that crosses a line.

THIS is when a face mask comes in handy.

@SimonJT hats off to you, your post made me laugh out loud.

It's a good job I don't go to yoga. Since childbirth my trumps are so loud I even astonish myself. Luckily they never smell but I cannot hold them in.

@Heptember

I take my blessed bottle on holiday too so I never get the Spanish tummy my friends all seem to get from time to time

With friends like that, who needs enemas?

Fantastic @Heptember 👏👏👏👏👏

🤣🤣

This thread!

Perhaps this needs to be taken to the mass market. Have you considered Dragons Den ?

Love it @gingerwhinger0

On the off-chance that you were serious @Anordinarymum no way can this be a medically sound way of dealing with your bowel issues!

• am not an expert or even an amateur on enemas.

Well it is obvious where @Brokenchair1 has her yoga class- it just be held in Tooting Broadway!

One must be careful what one eats before yoga class. I have to avoid beans of any kind of I'll be blowing off until.The Last Trump sounds on Doomsday.

I am not sharing my bottle with anybody thank you

I find it odd to hear adults call farting tooting and trumping![/quote]
Surely trump is the perfect word to describe the emission of stinking hot gas?

Anyway, at the yoga class I used to go to, the leader would always mention that flatulence may occur as a natural consequence of the stretching and bending and that nobody should feel embarrassed.

Over your nose.or their bottom???

anus horribilis lol 😄

I posted this instructional video link on a recent thread about natural gas expulsion - and I make no apology for posting it again here, where it is even more relevant to the discussion in question.

That sounds to me far too much like when Father Ted informed everybody before the raffle was drawn that, sometimes, the organisers actually win; and, would you believe it, they did!

Your instructor is hereby giving you ample notice that he/she single-handedly puts Horsey Windpump to the very depths of mortal shame.

It's also a very cunning way of invoking a bullet-proof personal deniability clause and thus getting yourself automatically let off. So to speak.

That was brilliant, only I laughed so much a little bit of wee tried to escape

At least nobody else need know about that!

Excellent Heptember I haven't stopped laughing yet

I don’t think anyone would want to share any bottles with you 😉

a friend and I once got banned from yoga class after laughing hysterically at someone continually farting
one of those people you can't make eye contact with or you will crease

You would be surprised what people want to share with me. I'm very popular this week.

this week I am mostly eating roughage

As long as it was just wee............

@ZoeTurtle

So if you have a bowel problem you should just lock yourself indoors and wait to die? Yes, that is definitely the only other option besides go to a yoga class.

🤣🤣

This thread has cheered me up no end

I have nothing to add except that Anal Fumes would be a great name for a death metal band. Sorry OP

YANBU it's not like you can move your yoga mat across the studio halfway through a class because Clarissa in front of you is letting out air biscuits.
If you know you're windy stay at the back.
I was once behind a woman who did similar all through a class, we got to child's pose and she let out such a belter that she could have blown out a candle with it. 2m distance was not far enough.

It's just a few good, old fashioned farts. I'd just laugh at it.

You are unreasonable to call it tooting though. Farting is a far superior expression.
