Do not be confused.
"hot" yoga does not necessarily = hot people.
"hot"or "bikram" yoga = sweaty and super stinky people.
...right. cuz "yoga people" weren't already stinky enough.
Anyway, I keep finding my kids in yoga positions. For no reason at all.
So I took some pictures to document it. Because it seems to be a fad around here, so the irony that their funny kid thing fad is an actual fad is just funny to me.
Oh, and to all the "experts" out there, be aware that the kids are both sweaty AND stinky, so you know...this is totally legit. The real deal ;)
Here we have the classic sibling "downward dog". Totally normal.Leading today's spontaneous yoga sesh is....wait.... Aaron? 
Well, yes. Yes it is. What the crap happens in my kitchen when I am not supervising?!
It's weird, right?
Moving on, let's address the other fad I'm seeing everywhere: Planking.
Our children don't know it yet, but they're super cool. They effortlessly mastered the downward dog, so now, they've progressed to the the latest hip thing.
Behold, a few more candid shots of the Willys kid doing what they do best, being totally awesome.
I call this one "wheel barrow racing with furniture gets you nowhere."
And here, we have the classic "suspended between two furniture pieces, even though there is no way it is humanly possible for it to be more comfortable than sitting on just one of them" plank.
And the grande finale, the "hot lava plank".Did you play "hot lava" when you were growing up? Where you couldn't touch the floor because it was lava and would "burn" you? If the answer to that one is "no", then you didn't have a childhood. I can only assume that the messy floor is what inspired the hot lava version of this game in the first place.
My kids are way more hip than I am.
Uh...Namaste?

hahahah!!! perfect timing......we should coordinate our posts more often.
Smart kids you have there.....they will be crazy stinky hippies before you know it!
ps you HAVE to give yoga a try. I swear to you, you'll like it. I don't know much about Bikrim, but the regular, 1000 year old stuff is great....I am seriously so addicted right now (which is perfect because Dr.'s orders, no running right now):
Anyway it takes a good teacher to get you hooked--had I started with a chanting hairy armpit total weirdo I never would have gone back. But it is SO much fun! And thanks to yoga, if you look closely, I have a teeny tiny muscle on my arm. A muscle!
So. I bare my testimony about yoga. Amen.
And planking??!! I don't get it! Did you know I had to google it just last week because I really had no idea what it meant? And then I found out it is actually nothing? What is this world coming to.
Do I get bonus points for a long, random comment?
I'm with Sheena - yoga is awesome, but bikrim is heat stroke waiting to happen. Seriously, Dave & I just shudder every time we hear someone mention it. Regular yoga is butt kicking enough, why add in 100+ degrees and super schweaty people? Ah, "but this one goes to 11", right?
I love that your kids are so hip.
@ Sheena-I have done yoga before and it is great! I just think it is hillarious that it is "the thing" right now, and you aren't cool if you're just doing regular yoga....you have to be doing "hot" yoga. ;)
And yes, 20 brownie points and a gold star to both of you!
Best title ever.
