You’ll laugh with the story of this woman who farted in yoga –

“I wish I could say I’m making this story up, but I’m not. This happened tonight.” This is how the American Laura Mazza begins to describe her embarrassing and very funny story. She explains that having children split her abdomen “like Moses did the Red Sea” and as a result, her belly took on a pointy appearance. To improve the problem, her physical therapist suggested yoga.

“I got to the room and it was dark, with candles everywhere. (Only a small fire hazard, folks). I was thinking, damn, this yoga thing is real. It’s not just ‘5, 6, 7, 8 and alooonga…’ It’s more like ‘I’m on my way to reaching a state of enlightenment here.’”

The American goes on to say that everyone was talking as if they had known each other for a long time and the teacher, who looked like the “Yoda master of yoga”, asked about each one’s personal life, while all she wanted was to go unnoticed with her mat in the backyard. background of the room. Which, of course, did not happen: she had to perform in front of the whole class.

After the first moment of embarrassment has passed, she tells about her performance in class. “We did the downward dog movement and that’s when I started to feel my belly. Over the past few weeks, I’ve had several symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome. My farts smell like a mix of rotten eggs and incineration residue.”

“At some point between the dolphin position and the dog down on three pegs, two of these burnt garbage eggs escaped and I farted. I farted. I PUMPED ON YOGA. I’m a walking cliché. My pelvic floor let me down.”

Do you think Laura took her mat and snuck out? Not yet. Everyone remained silent, so she continued with the movements. The next one was a frog-like position and the teacher passed by forcing each one’s lower back down.

“She comes up to me, pushes down on my lower back… And bouuuuuuuuurrppppfffffff! The loudest trumpet came out of my butt. I froze and thought ‘Oh my God. Oh my God. OH MY GOD. My Jesus. What just happened? I’am dreaming. For sure. I’m in a nightmare.”

After the second escape, Laura hastily gathered her things and ran out the door, with all the students on their knees, staring in shock “or just woken up from the post-smell coma”, as she describes it. To crown the triumphant exit, she received a “namaste” from the teacher.

The American said she was traumatized and claimed, in the post, that she will never try yoga again! But it’s worth reflecting on: is it time to break the fart taboo? The yoga class is all about wriggling and relaxing… Farting can happen to anyone!
