elbows

You should have seen me a yoga class last night. I was so proud to be able to bend over and touch the floor with my fingers. We all had our feet a little more than shoulder width apart, but still, I haven’t been able to do that in a long time.

Then the instructor said, “If you want to go a little deeper into your stretch, you could touch the floor with” and I thought she said, “your elbows,” but that didn’t make sense, so I glanced up to see what she was doing, and she was touching the floor with her ELBOWS! How is that even possible? If I practice yoga from now until the day I die, I see a very dim chance of being able to touch the floor with my effen elbows. Damn.
