Yoga Agony
No matter what they say, yoga just isn’t for everyone.
Wombat Day is less than a month away! Be sure to make your plans now to celebrate October 22, the best holiday of the year!
Debbie Adams caught Fraz in action fighting the rare Tennis Shoe Shark on the beach one morning. You can read all about it on Debbie’s Art blog.

I suspect that is the Downward-Facing Tree pose Winky. Not a good look for wombats 🙁
I just hope it’s not permanent!
i hope you get well soon too Winky that pose doesnt look yoga at all…lol
It probably wasn’t, but it was the best I could do!
I thought it was the crashed glider pose 🙂
Well something felt like it crashed!
lol Andro you are so funny…
Soma are you trying to get an extra pancake? Well it worked, let’s go and eat these before they get cold, okay Fraz, Binky, Winky, Twink and Chris, I have some for you too 🙂 lol Wow they sniff a pancake at well over a thousand paces those Wombies 🙂 lol
We Wombies have good noses for pancakes!
Yes I know you have 🙂
🙂
I once tried yoga, and I first thought it was just going to be a piece of cake after I finish my first session.
The “Salutations to the sun” we did may look simple enough, but that night, my whole body ached!
I will never look at yoga the same way again (which I thought was just stretching exercises!) 🙂
I’ll never again look at yoga, too!
Some of us just aren’t made for yoga.
I’m made more for eating.
Winky you are so right we are not made for exercise…we are born to eat and be lazy 🙂
That’s for sure! No one’s born to eat more than me!
I can vouch for that one Soma 😉
Yes Felicia the Yoga was harder than it looked but I hope that you ate the cake afterwards? 🙂
I ate cake afterwards.
Actually, I ate cake before, too.
My cat (in the picture) can do yoga much better than I do, just look at her do a pose without a hint that she’s in pain, LOL!
Hey, I didn’t know there was cake! Is eating cake going to make you any better in doing yoga?
Cats are all long and flexible. Not like me!
I don’t know if eating cake will make me better at yoga, but it makes doing yoga a lot more yummy!
You said that Yoga was a piece of cake and so once you mentioned that we all formed a queue 🙂 I tried to be at the front but I ended up being fifth in line from all the Wombies 🙂 lol Have a fun day today Felicia 🙂
It’s hard to beat us when there’s cake involved! Luckily there’s lots of cakes involved, so everyone should get their share.
Yes I had more than I could possibly eat in one sitting so there is always plenty for everyone, which is why nobody minds being at the back of the queue 🙂
And you can always get some free chocolate at my factory if you’re still hungry!
Thank you Winky I am already on my way over there 🙂
I just left there myself with treats for evening tv.
Everyone could use extra chocolate treats!
Well you would 🙂
Yeah, it’s always a good time for cake.
Oh yeah, yoga can be dangerous… almost the same like ninja 😉
I don’t think I could handle ninja yoga. I can’t even handle regular yoga.
Ninja Yoga 🙁 Sounds a bit didgy that one Sabina 🙁
Maybe that could be a sport. Dodging yoga ninjas!
omg Ninja yoga he he he he he..you guys are too funny
It’s not really funny to get attacked by ninjas and get forced to do yoga though!
Yes and those ninja’s like pancakes too so we need to be careful 🙁
They’re almost as bad as zombies!
I think that the ninjas smell sweeter though? 🙂
They do, but that wouldn’t be hard!
True, especially with what those smelly zombies eat 🙁
I don’t like to think about that!
Is there a yoga pose for catching flying pancakes?
If there was, I think I would have found it by now!
I didn’t mean ninja yoga. I just compared two dangerus stuffs 😉
And yea, I’m sure, that ninjas smell much better, than Zombies 😉 🙂
I think so! Unless they’re really stinky ninjas!
Oh, okay. I think yoga is probably more dangerous than ninjas.
I use to do Yoga eons ago. One day, I had this brilliant idea to wear sweat pants instead of tights, and to turn the heat up to I’d be warmer. The session went great. I was able to do my position better than usual and able to stretch further. I paid dearly for that later.
Ouch! I hope you had some good chocolate ice cream afterwards to make up for it.
No, all I had was V-8 and popcorn (no butter). Those torment days are over. 😉
I don’t think I would have survived that!
No, me neither, besides I would not be happy wearing those tights 🙁
Me neither! I don’t think they make tights in my size. I hope they don’t, anyway!
I’m not sure the rest of us would be happy seein’ you in those tights either Andro.
Phew what a relief, I didn’t fancy anyone requesting anything out of the ordinary, or indeed anything at all to do with tights, oh no 🙂 Here have a few of my marshmallows Bo and think of just the attractive ladies in tights, now that is worth thinking about 🙂
And nice looking female Wombies, too!
Yes there must be lots of attractive female Wombies around 🙂
Well at least one I have my eye on, but she always ignores me!
Not sure I would like men in tights. Kilts, yes. Tights, eh, not so much.
Winky, stop, stop…go exercise your chocolate eating speed instead! 🙂
Yes chocolate eating burns way more calories 😉
It does? I must be doing something wrong, then!
Chocolate eating speed? That’s something I wouldn’t mind exercising!
That faster you eat it, the more you can get inside before you know your full. 😉
I don’t think I’m ever full. I guess that means I could eat till infinity!
Deb what an excellent mantra ..choclate eating is the best exercise
I should be able to get a gold medal in chocolate eating!
Probably Gold, Silver and Bronze knowing you Winky 🙂
And it the medals were made of chocolate, I’d eat them too!
Chocolate Olympics!!!!
That’s something I could train for!
Be careful Loon he will be eating your chocolates next 🙂
I brought more chocolates to make up for any I might have eaten!
Thank you for posting Fraz and the Tennis Shoe Shark…that’s a great title btw! 🙂
You’re welcome, Deb. The title seems appropriate. Sort of like that old movie, The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes.
Or the great big Zombie in a ballet dress 🙂
I refuse to wear a ballet dress!
You’re okay Winky you’re not a Zombie 🙂
Oh, okay. I thought you were talking about me!
I have just started doing Yoga and it is harder than one would think. But it is even harder when you are doing Hot Yoga!
I don’t know about Hot Yoga, but I wouldn’t mind trying hotdog yoga!
Three for you, one for me, seven for you, three for me 🙂 Okay let’s save some for RT 🙂
RT not our tea 🙂
I usually have a milkshake with my hotdogs, but I’ll try tea.
You won’t regret it 🙂 Besides there is always lots of triple choc biscuits to be enjoyed with tea 🙂
In that case, tea sounds like an excellent idea!
Tea is always a good idea, and even better if we have lots of treats 🙂
Tea & Treat Time!
I like the sound of that!
I can relate, Winky!
About all I can handle is the ‘Yoga mat as footrest pose’ (now what did I do with that silly TV remote control again… this pose feels incomplete without it)!
🙂
You’re right, the mat isn’t bad for lying on and watching TV!
Or resting with a pancake in each hand either 🙂
Pancakes don’t last long enough in my hands to rest!
We all know that 🙂
I thought you might.
🙂
I can also relate, Winky. Instructors make it look a lot easier than it actually is. 🙂
They do! Plus there’s no food involved! I want to eat, not exercise!
Yoga is indeed not for everybody. It’s also not easy either.
I’ll be here for Wombat Day. We’ll be on the bay cruise, but I can manage getting in on the fun.
Have a terrific day. 🙂
That’s for sure. I think yoga should be only for yogasters.
I hope you can have a bit of cake for Wombat Day, Sandee!
Maybe with practice, Winky will break fewer bones!
I definitely won’t be breaking any more bones because I won’t be doing that exercise again!
The expression on Winky’s face in the first panel is fantastic, Peter!
Thanks, Debbie!
You’re welcome, Winky! 🙂
I was trying to put on a happy face. Despite the pain!
I never mess with things starting with y…like yoga and yogurt. I did have a yo-yo once though.
(Got my Mi-Fi card activated today….hooooray. It works great so far.
Is that Mi-Fi a secret agent term Bo? 🙂
Bo is my secret southern super spy boss!
Don’t tell anyone!
I could tell you Andro but then….well you know.
Yes Bo I most certainly do know what you mean and I have my honcho Zombie guarding me, the only trouble is if you don’t show up soon he will try eating me instead 🙁
Use the atomic powered blaster I sent you in that cake, Andro!
Thank you Fraz that came in handy 🙂
I hoped it would!
Us spies get all the neatest gadgets!
I hope the Mi-Fi wireless connection works out for you, Bo. It’ll be nice if you can get online more often and more consistently.
So far it is doing great. It is fairly fast and very easy to set up. It is rare that I can get any kind of wireless service in Gatorhead but this is doing the trick. I still haven’t figured out how to measure my usage. i signed up for 3 gigabytes and I have no idea when to stop before I go over.
Well that sounds really good, Bo! I hope the Mi-Fi continues to work for you.
Can you not go into your account and find out how much of your quota you’ve used?
I have my cell phone with the same company and all it shows is how many minutes I have used and my data usage on the phone (which is minimal even though my wife stays on facebook a lot.)
There should be some way to find out what you’ve used. Otherwise it’s going to be awfully hard to know what bandwidth you have left.
There is. If you hook your mifi to the computer and open it with VZ access manager, it will give you your usage. Plus, it will text you when you get to 50%, 75%, 90% and over. 😉
I’ll relay that to Bo. Thanks, Red!
Great painting Deb 🙂
For a very brief second I believed you on the whole yoga spelled backwards is agony. VERY BRIEF! STOP JUDGING ME!
What?? It is! Well close enough! Dumb extra n.
Given Winky’s waistline I am surprised he even messes with Yoga – If I’m going to risk my back it has to be for ice cream, chocolate, or both! W.C.C.
Those sound more like the kinds of risks I want to take!
I never understood the “relax” element in yoga. I was told to move this way and that to relax. My body simply couldn’t do it and I left more stressed than ever.
Thanks for being a faithful visitor.

You’re welcome, Joyce! You always have something interesting on your blog.
And yoga students make it look so easy!
They do it to make us feel guilty!
I hope it wasn’t wind that he broke!
Just a few minor bones is all!
2 points for George. It never gets old George.
It wasn’t me!
It’s agoy?? A Goy? Don’t tell my Jewish friends
You forgot the invisible n!
ha ha ha hey Agoy in the super ancient dadalala language means Agony Winky is right…ouch..he needs chocolate dressing 🙂
I knew yoga was agony!! All you have to do is to try it to find out!
Trying the “Downward Wombat?”
I don’t know what that move was called, but I won’t be trying that again!
Poor Winky…his legs are too short for yoga.
That’s right, they are! I shouldn’t have to be tortured like this!
Auch….that position must be awful. I will never do yoga in my life…well except if you call stretching my legs is yoga 😉
Yeah, I don’t think yoga would be a good idea for you, either!
A back flip position would be impossible for me 😉
Yeah, you’re not to bendy in the middle.
Eh, close enough Winky! 🙂
That’s what I figured.
Time for dessert!
The Yoga master taught me this! It’s called the “slight lean”. Or, should I say, “Ynoga”.
And it is agony!
Well, the cake afterwards did help, though.
Ahahah “agony”. I love the idea of doing Yoga but I’m not ready to practice actually. I’m just like Winky I think!!!
Some of us just aren’t meant to do yoga.
He needs to do more yoga. 🙂
No, no, no! No more yoga for me!
Oh Winky please don’t give-up on yoga so easily 🙁 Do the shavasana its cool 🙂
Cheers!
I didn’t know what “shavasana” meant so I googled it. I think I could do that pose!!
Winky, is that the Downward Facing Drunk But I’m Really Okay You Guys pose?
wow. that’s pretty advanced for a beginner
Whatever pose it was supposed to be, I don’t think I quite got it. But it sure got me!
You need to try the Wombie Lotus position next, or perhaps the hand stand with triple twist, in slow motion, remember it is supposed to be Yoga and enjoyable 🙂
The shavasana pose that Dilip told me about up there ^ is about the only one I think I could do! You just lie flat on the floor!
I’ve heard if you do it the opposit way it will pop back in place.
That sounds like a good idea, if I can do it the opposite way!
I prefer the creamy fruity flavoured gentler form. Yogurt is easier on the back too. Wombat day is near. I must prepare something.
Yogurt is definitely much better that yoga!
Yeah, Wombat Day is less than a moth away! I can hardly wait!
Less than a Moth away??? A moth doesn’t live very long I don’t think so Wombat Day will be here soon.
I’m so excited about Wombat Day, I made a spelling boo-boo! It’s October 22!
ha-ha… not quite… but very close.
It’s close enough for me!
