Kinda surprised on this one. Hadn't Hanners done Yoga during her self-discovery binge? She should be able to keep up with the beginners class, at least?
As someone who has started yoga several times I can assert that if you dont do it regularly it is still hard to start back out doing it
This is *exactly* what I was hoping for with these two dorks. Thanks, Jeph! This was a bright spot in a generally crappy day.
Marigold is me doing yoga. 10/10 can relate.
Dear gods, I love Hannelore. She's come so far and is precious.
Great figure drawing set!
Panel 3 is a very difficult pose to do in a first beginners session!
I hope there is mime-yoga. That would be awesome.
Mmmm yoga pants
I can't do chair pose any more. The cartilage on the outside of my left knee has been, and I use the surgeon's word, "extruded" from its position and thus I have no cushion between my femur and meniscus. It's so much fun. Ahh to be young again and able to do a whole yoga class without pain.
The meniscus _is_ the cushion (it's the cartilage). It would seem, then, that you - like me - no longer have the meniscus in your knee. I also have the added advantage of no longer having an ACL in my knee. It bends all sorts of directions - usually at the most inopportune moments. My doctor looked at my MRI and said "you can't walk." (Mind you, I had just _walked_ into his office.) I simply told him "I'm too stubborn not to."
Jeph: Will you be putting out a yoga instruction manual or poster any time soon?
You know, I'm 36, been out of shape pretty much my whole life, and this arc is making me think Yoga is the kind of working out I can get behind. Because obviously I hate working out. But getting older is challenging (especially if you have a small baby)
Do it! We believe in you. A big reason I keep doing yoga is so that I can maintain my independence as I age. It's never going to get easier to start.
My favorite part of any yoga class is when the teacher falls over. It makes me feel so much better that they have to work at it too. (But not so much better that I'm willing to keep doing yoga )
Honestly I love that Hanners isn't perfect at this, it's kind of nice to see they both have stuff they can work on
WAIT TILL THE RULE 34 PEOPLE GET A LOAD OF THIS ONE!
Willow will provide them both with private tuition.
Well, at least it’s nice to have a friend who’s both better and worse than them. To show them that they are good at some things, and to help them get better at others.
Ring: "Bend sloooooowly to the front...... now slowly return to the starting position.... focus on your form!"
...So as a dude who swears by squats, that chair pose is bloody nasty.
I thought Hanners had done yoga before?
“Had done” is different from “had done well” 😁
You generally learn balance as kid, growing up on a spacestation might mess with that.
Yes. I wonder how Hannahs first dealt with increased earth gravity. Yeah, the station had artificial gravity, but I don’t think it would have been as great as earth’s.
Marigold is strong in the legs, but her arms aren't used to holding any weight except their own. Hanners is light, and was doing physical labor during at least part of he "trip of self discovery, so her strength is more balanced. However, her sense of balance needs work. Luckily, there's an easy solution for both of them: practice!
Impressive that Jephe drew all of that so convincingly. Enough for you to pick up on patterns in their uh... 'styles'.
Afterwards, they went out for tacos… and Willow got their orders wrong again!
This is impressing me a lot and I can't put it into words
I love these two so much.
HELL YEAH THEY DID IT
And she was so worried about Hanners making her look bad...
Both of them are fantastic because they went :-) any good yoga teacher is just happy you are moving your body. Your body is worth the care you're trying to give it.
This is so cute
(Smile) BTDT.
This is weirdly making me want to try yoga.....
Do it! We believe in you!
The 'bonk' may be for Hanners falling, or it may be from a certain Shiba Inu meme...
It's the latter...
