During the 2005 Atlantic tropical hurricane season many people who failed to listen to authorities and a evacuate as required to do so by law found themselves stuck for three to four weeks without power or water. Many of those people who live in the hurricane area know this can happen and they stock up on food and water. Nevertheless without any television, telephones or power there is not a lot you can do.
However, if you are into yoga you could simply sit there like a pretzel for weeks on the end and be perfectly happy; isn't that special? Perhaps if you are considering waiting out a huge hurricane rather than getting into traffic jams leading out of town only to find yourself 1000 miles away but no hotel rooms available, then it might behoove you to learn yoga.
Some people do not like Yoga but that's only because they've never done it before or perhaps they are in fear of bending themselves at all those weird angles. It kind of looks like it hurts doesn't it? But rest assured yoga does not hurt if you do it correctly and you should not knock it until you try it. As long as you are to be bored off your butt with no power or water you may as well learn yoga and sit there and enjoy it. Please consider this in 2006.
