I farted in yoga today

[Ubik1]

Pants - I've never heard one rip, if that's any consolation but smelled plenty

daisy - No, we haven't done any bandas at yoga practice. I'm not sure why.

Yoga always makes me want to fart....and I get the giggles when anyone else does.

We've been talking about 'locks' recently in yoga. I try to keep my pelvic floor about 60% 'locked' and try to keep
Legs active when required.

I can't wait to get back to it following Christmas.

There's a lovely lady in my ashtanga class who without fail farts during boat pose.

You can almost feel the collective cringe in the room as everyone knows it's about to happen. Bloody hilarious.

I'd absolutely piss myself laughing if I heard someone let rip in this situation accidently. However if that someone letting rip was me, I would just want to die I'd be mortified.

There's a guy who squats and farts before the class starts

Gets himself all cleared out

Sometimes I have a good fart in the toilet beforehand

What, in front of everyone?

Are you all dreading the day when he... um... sharts?

I wonder if banda's are related to any particular yoga style, Cote.

My teacher is BWY trained but she's quite varied. I'll have to ask her about it on Tues.

OMG the thought of a bloke letting rip deliberately in front of everyone, not sure if that's or .

Well it's weird - he comes in, squats, farts and everyone pretends he hasn't done it. And he continues sort of stretching and grunting.

Boat Is definitely the fartiest pose. But the worry about farting takes my mind off the pain

Are you serious? I don't know if I'd be able to remain calm with a straight face if that happened in front of me.

That's really not right. Has no one reacted? Opened a window or said "What's that smell?" or something?

Nope

It's all very cooool yoga.

But he is the only person that does it.

It's not every week. But pretty regular

Unbelievable

I farted in kettlebells on Wednesday doing sit ups and the woman next to me threw me a look! I just pretended it didn't happen and tried to squeeze my bottom while doing the remaining ones! It happens every week but normally they are quiet but not this week!

I would recommend cutting out carbs the night before a morning yoga class - no bread, rice, pasta etc for dinner or for breakfast before yoga. It makes all the difference

There's always a little giggle when people fart or snore in my yoga class, mainly from me. I also have a teacher who says 'this is good for trapped wind' . She likes it when our joints crack during our stretches at the beginning of the class as well.

Happened to me a couple of times. I've always maintained that when it occurs their should be a word that the entire class shout simultaneously in a rejoicing manner to alleviate any embarrassment (mainly mine). A kind of back door namaste if you like.

"A kind of back door Namaste"

Everyone go and listen to The Guilty Feminist podcast. One episode is on yoga. Guarantee it will make you feel better about it!

Sounds promising I looked for it but couldn't find it, sadly.

Someone farted in a class I was in recently and the teacher said 'this pose is a wind releaser' in a very straight voice. Was just right. Made everyone feel better.

It's the episode called 'Exercise with Jessamyn'. She is ace.

I have done one class of yoga in my life, with my dear late mother who was a nature worshiping spiritual lady, she asked me to go with her which I did and during the relaxing bit at the end she farted and it vibrated along the floorboards! She then got into a rhythm of snoring on the inhale and farting on the exhale. My stomach hurt from laughing and the lady taking the class was very cross with me.
