Yoga

by Christopher T. Dabrowski

Translated from Polish by Magda Woźniak


Kalina wanted make Tadeusz athletic, lived up a little. He resisted, he preferred sport in TV or in pub with mates. Finally she convinced him to go to yoga. They went. She didn’t tell him that the group will be advanced. He surrendered after the first exercise. She and her friends began to stretch him. At a push.

Crack! Tendons in the groins cracked. Wham! The spine broken.

Tadeusz shouted.

"It is for your own good, you will be very flexible" Kalina appeased him.

At the end of the class he was so broken and stretched that she could easily roll up him.

From now on they will always attend together yoga. Tadeusz will be a great exercise mat.
