How to handle a fart in yoga class?

There are several schools of thought on how best to handle a fart during yoga class. Some say, relax with it. Some say, ignore it with all your might. Some say, face the music and name the fart in front of everyone in hopes that will make it go away. I have tried all three ways, and I can tell you, they are all wrong.

When you fart in yoga class, you must immediately stop whatever it is that you are doing and put your entire focus on making sure that nobody else smells it. This requires a very subtle combination of pulling your stomach back toward your spine while also pushing out slightly with your diaphragm. This creates an instantaneous force field around your body that is absolutely impenetrable, thus preventing the farty vapours from escaping into the surrounding atmosphere.

is it normal to fart during yoga?

the answer is yes. I can’t believe you would even ask that. people fart during yoga all the time. You need to accept your body and stop worrying about what other people think. if your teacher is mad at you for farting during yoga, maybe they should reexamine the way that they teach their class. yoga is supposed to be a spiritual practice that helps people find peace with themselves and connect to something bigger than themselves.

So what you’re saying is that if someone were really into yoga they would just accept their own body, no matter what?

That’s all I was asking. I’m sure there are some people who are really into yoga and wouldn’t care whether or not they farted during one of the poses or not, but most people probably wouldn’t be so comfortable with it. Not everyone is comfortable with their own body. That’s what I was asking about.

10 ways NOT to fart in your next yoga class:

1. Don’t release the tension in your abdominal muscles after you fart. This creates a seam for the flatulence to slip out of, so it’s best to just leave that area tense until everyone has finished their postures and moved on to something else.
2. Do not attempt any breathing techniques that might dislodge things back there. Remember, your goal is to create a protective force field around you that nothing can escape from.
3. When asking for adjustments in your posture or alignment, make sure to do it with the sternest face possible so nobody will suspect you are up to something sinister.
4. If anyone starts making eye contact with you during savasana, make sure you are able to return your eyeballs to their forward-facing position very quickly.
5. If you have a scarf or blanket, drape it over your lap with great purpose when people start coming around with the bolster for Shavasana.
6. Do not even think about trying the crocodile breathing that is often taught in yoga classes at this time of deep relaxation. Sure, that would help release any residual turbulence back there, but trust me: It will give you away immediately and then everyone will know what you did and they will despise you forever and ever…and nobody wants that! So just don’t do it!
7. When those last few minutes come around where people might be falling asleep, remember to take deep, exaggerated breaths so everyone will know you are very much awake. Do not fall asleep!
8. Above all else, do NOT let your mind wander back toward the smell that still may be lingering there in that area of your body because if you do catch yourself thinking about it, then everyone who happens to be nearby will definitely smell it again and once more they will despise you for all eternity.
9. When the final gong rings, immediately stand up and pretend to stretch or check your email very quickly before everyone else has a chance to collect their things together.
10. Finally, when you get home, do not open any windows in hopes of airing your yoga studio out because that is exactly how smells flow through an entire house–upstairs and downstairs–and then they end up coming back into the room where you are sitting reading this article all over again and once more everybody will despise you forever and ever…and nobody wants that! So just don’t do it!

If you follow these rules, then people will definitely not smell your fart in yoga class! Now go forth and strengthen those core muscles so we can all enjoy yoga the way it was meant to be enjoyed! Namaste.
