You can now stretch out your sea legs while
on a cruise ship. The 700-passenger Radisson Seven Seas Mariner
is offering a seven-night yoga cruise. John Capouya, the author of
Real Men Do Yoga recently took the cruise and he described
his experiences in a recent MSNBC.com article. Capouya was
already making progress at yoga by day five:
After almost a week at sea, I was making real progress in my morning
yoga as well. (The first day's crowding had been solved by a
sign-up sheet limiting the class to 25 people.) Now, when we bent
over in a Forward Fold, I could touch the floor again. Thanks to
regular applications of Jitesh's ice deliveries, which were waiting
for me in a silver champagne bucket after each day's class, my
Achilles was holding up. Though I already knew the poses, Robin
and Michael's explanation of each movement's biomechanics -- "tucking
the tailbone under opens up the pelvic floor" -- gave me new insight
into my anatomy and alignment. When they combined the asanas we'd
learned into faster-paced sequences -- moving us from the Mountain stance
to a Forward Fold or from a Plank to a Cobra and on to a Downward-Facing
Dog -- the veterans eagerly helped out the rookies.
