    I'm so sorry I laughed, but if it makes you feel any better, I exacerbated an old injury (from twenty years prior) and wound up fracturing my lateral malleolus/ankle (after fracturing it twice before, having multiple sprains and even physical therapy) simply standing on one leg. When I came out of the pose I felt that horrible numbness and knew. A trip to the doctor confirmed it and I had to wear a cast (for the third time). That was my first and last yoga class. I can injure myself literally just standing still.

    Yoga is awesome and great if you have digestive issues. Everyone farts in class. I have while initially embarassing noone really cares bc they know its part of the yoga! Queef now that is more embarassing but noone knows where it came from!

    I was hoping this thread would be about farting in yoga.

    It happens and it really is no big deal. Regular yogis definitely don't judge or care. With all the deep twists it can be inevitable. I generally eat easy to digest things before class.

    Steven so rude making a comment about my knickers . They only show after working out as they cling to my bum with sweat. My partner likes panty lines usually great sex after getting in from gym . He loves the sweaty smell also so everyone to there own

    can you please explain how a woman doing the EXACT same thing a man does is more awkward or embarrassing?

    I would assume since the client's female, the client tends to feel more embarrassed with a male trainer than they would be if they were working with a female trainer.

    I'd be willing to bet male clients in general would tend to be more embarrassed about those kinds of things if their trainer is female than they would be if their trainer is male.

    It can be easier to laugh that kind of stuff off with members of the same sex.

    I was griping about flexibility and joint paid , one of my friends suggested a yoga class at my gym
    so down to JD sports for some Yoga Kit some grey yoga pants and matching top, Lol not a great fan of knickers lines , so tiny thong underneath.
    Feeling good in my kit and looking go to class here we go , it was a mixture of men and women with more a greater percentage of girls . Trust me to get a hot guy in the row behind me directly behind me . First thing I realised is after the warm up routine by yoga pants were significantly riding up my bottom and was not feeling comfortable with the guy behind me at all.
    Then comes stage 2 of the nightmare , the bending and positions we are asked to get into had stirred something in my belly and I now needed to fart urgently , how I was going to hold them with my bottoms buried up my but and positions that required you to have your *kitten* up in the air was a real worry . Luckily the music was loud at least it was the one laying on your stomach that done it , im laying on my stomach *kitten* facing upward we then had to lift our tummy of the ground when I felt a hot release of air escape my clenched but silent but a little smelly .
    Lol it was not obvious it was form my bum as silent , this continued every 2-3 minutes as we made new positions like 20 plus times
    not going yoga again.


    BEST Story Ever.
    So I was at a gym once
    I was next a PT and her client.
    Every time I squatted, I would fart.
    At the end of the session, my face turned red, and she laughed.

    It definitely happens. If you're really concerned about it, you can always try a couple of, er, pre-emptive poses before class... Google "wind-relieving pose." Yes, it's a thing. And yes, it works. :)

    Ya, I'm a yoga teacher and make a light comment about this natural function while in Wind Relieving Pose (Pavanamuktasana).

    Black girl in yoga class , I see post and had to comment from experience I cling on to my farts with dear life in yoga but there is a half cast girl who without shame farts constantly . She just pushes them out in everypose a lot of them stink to high heaven she is a fit looking women with a very good body and always wears yoga pants th at accentuate her behind I make sure im not behind her as the constant relieving of stinky gas makes me gag. Then in the changing room it continues . I try to go futhest away as possible . The first time

    I love this thread. One of the best. Nothing like crop dusting a squat rack or the all dumbbells as well. Maybe workout fasted. Maybe it will help.

    Lmao....I found this sooooooo funny. Here is the thing...everybody farts at yoga class. That is why I usually go to the back of the class....no one is behind me, try it once more before you decide if it's not for you!

    My wife keeps trying to talk me into going to yoga with her. I was considering going, but after reading this thread, I am not sure I want to go unless I bring a gas mask.

    Bottoms cant live with them cant live without them , see this post and had to comment i suffer the same issue endless airy farts from start to finish of the class . My problem is made worse as first time I removed my knickers in the changing room to my horror the backside off them were heavily skidmarked I yanked them up and showered at home. I have this after evey class So now wear a panty pad at the back of my knicks and go straight home to change.

    Too bad you can't blame your dog - that's what I do at home. :) Guess you just have to blame your downward dog.
