Are you a little leery of competitive sports? We know how you feel. One time, in eighth grade, this big-headed kid named Walter Winkletoes tackled us during a game of no-touch football and knocked out one of our teeth. We haven't put on a pinny since. NEVER AGAIN, WINKLETOES.
For those of us who don't dig competition (or contact sports) but still like to exercise, yoga has always been a safe place to get our sweat on. It's fun, it's good for you, and most importantly, there's no tooth-knocking involved. Plus, if you've ever taken a yoga class, you know that all that deep-breathing, stretching, balancing, find-your-inner-zen stuff makes it a pretty self-focused practice: no pressure, no competition, and no worrying about anything except your own body and what it can do.
So your yoga-lovin' SparkNotes editors were a bit miffed to discover that some jerk has gone ahead and invented competitive yoga—which means now everyone will pay attention to that guy who is clearly some sort of human/rubberband genetic hybrid and who has just somehow managed to crawl into his own bellybutton. And bellybutton guy is probably going to win a big fracking trophy and then brag about it all over the place. Ridiculous! Scandalous! In fact, we'd be outraged... except that it's kinda fun to watch. Have you ever wanted to see somebody climb through his own elbow and touch his toes with his earlobes? Click here!
