Couples yoga
I have a yoga DVD that I often flip on in the morning. I’ve done the routine hundreds of times. Sometimes even when I’m not doing it, I hear the woman from the DVD’s voice saying certain phrases, usually instructing me to do a pose or two. Here is a sampling of what played in my head just this morning:
- “Go into Utkatasana: chair pose!”
- “Put your hands together at the heart center into Namaste.”
- “Your father and I are getting a divorce.”
- “Imagine a river of energy and light flowing beneath you.”
- “It’s not because we don’t love you. We both still love you. Your father probably loves you less because he wants you to move in with me.”
- “Breathe with me!”
- “Your mother is controlling you. She’s turning you against me. Why can’t you see that?”
- “This pose should feel really good on the lower back.”
- “YOUR FATHER IS DRIVING ME UP A WALL! GET ME ANOTHER GLASS OF RED!”
Hmm, some of those lines seem to be from my parents very intense divorce back when I was a younger man. I’m not sure how they got in there.
