From Yogini's desk: Baby got back !!

Does this remind you of the famous Sir Mix-A-Lot’s sweet sweet melody? (Laughing)

It’s Friday night and we are going out. I have the best boots that there can be. They are leather and a perfect tan color with embroidery on the calves. These boots were really made for walking. So here I am wearing my jeans . My husband comes by and slaps my butt and walks off. I for some reason ask him, “Did you just slap my butt”. He says (with that smile of his on his face),” Yeah, why you didn’t feel it?” And then I go up to the bathrooom and look in front of my full length mirror and wonder. I heard the sound. Why didn’t I feel it? I didn’t feel my husband’s hand on my butt. I get mortified.

I investigate!!!

My findings: I have a flat butt. So, because of that, I had an air pocket between my buttocks and the jeans. So when my husband’s hand came to touch my rear, the air pocket acted as a cushion and hence my flat plateau shaped behind didn’t feel anything. Ahh. (A light bulb lights up somewhere) So that’s the reason.

Wait a minute….

THAT’s the reason????

(Aaaaaaaaaaaa…….Screammmmmmmmmmm)

I have a flat butt. After all the love meat, this is what I get. That is not fair.What do I do? Well I know Jessica Simpson worked her tail off to get that fab posterior to fit in those daises. I don’t think I can work out 7 days a week and that too 4 hours a day . So, Here’s my solution.

. ………….……. (Drum roll) ………..

Yoga !!
Maybe ?? Let’s try it.

Well, for all you people out there with big behinds or wanna have big behinds or want to tone the behind you already have, this blog is for you.

One of my friends has what I call the “bubble” butt. You know springy, happy, joyful and just Dom Perignon bubbly. But she is not too happy with it (I don’t see the reason why but oh well; we will respect everyone’s feelings here). I recommended these postures for her to tone down what her mama gave her.

Bhujangasana (Cobra Pose)- This firms up the buttocks and also helps relieve stress.
Salabhasana (Locust Pose) – This strengthens the buttocks muscles and also backs of arms and legs.
Tadasana (Mountain Pose) – This firms up the rear and helps your posture.
Setu Bandha Sarvangasana (Bridge Pose)- For strengthening your buttock muscles.

For people like me: (Not that there’s anything wrong with us)
All the above and below:

Utkatasana (Chair Pose)- Just like doing lunges.
Urdhva Mukha Svanasana (Upward-Facing Dog) – Firms the buttocks
Supta Padangusthasana (Reclining Big Toe Pose) – Stretches the hips and opens up your inner thigh.

Hopefully these will help.

Well, I will be shaking my tail feather soon. Hope to see out there!!


Namaste!!! (Indian greeting)
