Yoga Stretch

My wife joined yoga to stretch out her core; Though extreme moves sometimes made her holler. Yet when they raised fees, it hurt a lot more, So she now has to stretch out a dollar. Downward Dog used to give satisfaction, But her teacher has tightened the collar. When before, body and mind felt as one, Now she’s training how to stretch a dollar. She enjoyed spending time with her fit friends To become a true yoga follower, But ever since her teach bought a new Benz, My wife spends more time stretching a dollar. After years she became one of the pros, So that I call her, my yoga scholar, But now she can’t rise up from a Corpse Pose; It can be deadly stretching a dollar. Her last session ended with Namaste, Yet our budget has not gotten smaller. Since deciding at yoga, she must stay, Because she learned how to stretch that dollar.

I love the humor. Yoga is often taken too seriously, as religion or a way of life rather than a connection with the self (this from someone who can't begin to do The Plank). Jack
