“WHY IS YOGA SO FUCKING LIT??!!!”
1. A system of exercises for mental and physical health
2. a Hindu philosophy that teaches a person to experience inner peace by controlling the body and mind
Akiala I (@akiala_i) interviewed Yoga expert and 2nd cousin of Michael Jackson, Yogurt O. Jackson to finally find out what exactly is so great about yoga.
Aki: “So why is Yoga so fucking lit?”
Yogurt: Well without yoga life is like walking through a gross alley and overhearing a random person talking to themselves in a dumpster but with yoga life is like walking through the laundry aisle and feeling that little tingle in your toes and in your spirit. I don’t know about you but I want as many tingles in spirit as I can get.
Aki: “Why do you suggest mixing weed with your yoga practice?”
Yogurt: Mixing weed (Indica and not a lot) with yoga is like mixing orange juice with champagne, which makes a Mimosa. Not only is the mixture delicious and perfect together but it creates a completely different experience and gives your spirit an extra boost of freedom.
Aki: “What is your favorite yoga pose and why?”
Yogurt: Chaturanga, because it makes me feel like a mermaid or like a sexy dolphin that turns into a strong ass mountain.
Aki: “Why do you think more people should practice yoga?”
Yogurt: In a fast paced world filled with so many distractions, people never have time or maybe don’t care to make time to just be quiet and check in with their wellness. If you aren’t mentally at peace then you will be unbalanced in so many areas of your life. Yoga provides mental and physical health and these two aspects might be the most important in achieving a happy & successful life. Yoga also helps build community, well if you take group classes. Plus… yoga pants *winks*
Aki: “Where do you do yoga? And do you prefer to be in a group or alone?”
Yogurt: I consistently do yoga with a community called “Baseline Love” we get together every Monday at 7pm at 3 little birds salon (it’s $5). I really enjoy doing yoga in a group, especially with my friends! I loooove how diverse in gender, race and age the class is. After the yoga session we even set intentions for the week and/or talk about something we want to get off our chests. I love Baseline Love, I now look forward to Mondays because of it.
Aki: “On a scale of baked potato to french fries how important is yoga”
Yogurt: Zaaaamn that’s a hard one…I’d have to say it’s very important like cheesy, lightly crispy scalloped potatoes important.
