This morning's attempt to do a yoga routine did not go much better than my last attempt. The Reverse Plough, which I used to easily do, continues to vex me.
And then, a few minutes after being vexed by the Reverse Plough I go to look up something on Google to suddenly find myself wondering why is Google mocking my yoga woes?
However, I quickly figured out that I was being hypersensitive regarding my yoga issues, with all knowing Google knowing nothing about them.
I eventually figured out the reason a skinny cartoon figure was doing yoga positions on my Google screen was due to today being the 97th birthday of someone named B.K.S Iyengar.
I had no clue what this Iyengar guy had to do with yoga, so I Googled his name to learn....
Bellur Krishnamachar Sundararaja Iyengar, better known as B.K.S. Iyengar, was the founder of the style of yoga known as "Iyengar Yoga" and was considered one of the foremost yoga teachers in the world.
I do not know what the style is of the yoga I am inept at doing. I'd not heard of the Iyengar Yoga style til today.
I suspect B.K.S. Iyengar was easily able to do the Reverse Plough position, likely up til the day he died.....
