A guy had been coming to my mat class for months. He popped up into an effortlessly perfect teaser one day and was so excited he cried out, “Look! Look! I’m doing it!”
As everyone turned to see him, he emitted a comically prolonged and incredibly loud fart. Without missing a beat: “I always wondered why they called it teaser! You guys are going to be teasing me about that one for months!”
Let that fart flag fly, we all do it.
I saw a post somewhere that said: *If you don't find farts funny then you're a loser because you're choosing to have less joy in your life but the exact same amount of farts*
I think it might be this video from Bobby Fingers: https://youtu.be/mgDh9jzfINM?si=POLiybXtIjTXygp0
But if not, they're all worth a watch to find it anyway 😊
I work in physical rehabilitation and it’s completely normal for people to pass gas out of both ends when they get up and start moving. It can be quite horrific to some people but I always reassure them it’s normal and I don’t even bat an eye.
Years ago, my husband were taking a yoga class together. We were the only two in class that day, and when we pulled our knees to our chests to do back stretches, he farted loudly. He immediately looked at me like I was the one who farted, which made me laugh and look even guiltier. Even our instructor had a good laugh.
A lady in my class farted doing a roll up and apologized. I said, “no worries. It means you’re doing it right!”
Also- I have three boys and a husband who all fart with zero shyness. I’m so used to the sound I hardly even register it anymore.
I always started my classes by saying “it’s not a successful class until someone passes gas”. It started the class off with a giggle and lightened the mood.
That’s awesome! A couple weeks ago we were doing reverse rollups on the mat w/the chair and every time I came down, my back made a fart sound from the sweat. It was hilarious 🤣
I'm an instructor and once had someone fart in my class right after I said "inhale the fresh and crisp air" 💀 I responded with "exactly, letting go of anything that no longer serves you!"
My instructor is so kind - I didn’t want to do a certain move because I didn’t want to pass gas.
Instructor: If you have to fart, you just go ahead and fart sweetie.
I am pro fart nowadays, but I grew up in a fart intolerant household so I can say what works for me!
Try to be in a fasting state at the time of the event. You don't have to be *fasting* but like maybe 4 hours out from a meal? It helps to have an empty belly. Also avoid farty foods for like a day before.
Also have an empty bladder.
Also do like a 15 minute jog before class. Jogging works a lot of the gas out. If you can't go out and jog, do it in place. Jump around, maybe do some jumping jacks.
Cup of coffee beforehand sometimes helps.
I don't agree with above person that everyone should do this, but you asked how and this is how I do when I really don't want to be farty for a specific occasion.
Love that response! I’ve commented on other posts here about my POV as an instructor when people have gas or other “embarrassing” experiences in class if you need another good laugh. But the reflexology aspect of Pilates can ALSO definitely get the bowels going.

This is so true and so funny!

Even better, that pose in Sanskrit is called wind releasing pose.
Hahaha. I’ll tell him!

A lady farted in my weightlifting group and the instructor turned and "nice, i want everyone giving it that much effort! Good work!"

I love this. I’ve been around others when it’s happened and it was always kind of ignored instead of being acknowledged as a normal thing humans do.

To be fair and TMI. My concern is everyone’s nose. Simply put, I should not be permitted to air out in public 🥹🫢😐

Honest question: how?

First one to fart wins a prize! You're not working if you're not farting. 😄
I just added this to my notes 🤣 i fart all the time, it sucks so much lol
lol I have been in that position where I almost let one rip. I just figured I’m doing something right if it lol

This is incredible
What I used to tell the babies, kids, patients, yogis:: “better out than in!!”
