Yoga: a rant.

I am often assured of the peace, tranquillity, flexibility and long life to be attained by practising yoga; and I have no objection whatsoever to peace, tranquillity, flexibility or, indeed, long life.

It's just that it's hard to believe I'll achieve any of them straining to do something called a downward dog.

Word To Use Today: yoga. This word comes from Sanskrit, where it mean a yoking or a union, from yunakti, he yokes.
