Ain’t got time to bleed

14 Sep

You said yogis don’t bleed?  We practice and sweat and work ourselves to the bone (sometimes).

Today I opened up some old wounds, literally – the physical kind, not the psychological – and bled on my mat.  I can honestly say in over 13 years as a yogi, I have never done that. Not even from a nose bleed.  I think I’ve made it through some sort of right of passage.

Don’t judge me.

Tell me your best yogi-injury stories below. 


Sidenote: While searching for a photo for this post, because the one I took of my butchered elbow just didn’t work, I found this one. Who would have thought they’d have luxury bandaids? Oh. My.
