I was recently taking one of my wife’s yoga classes (not by choice mind you) and spent a large portion of the class thinking about archery. Since yoga is a very introspective, physical, and about mental focus, I began to see a correlation. Some of the poses were obviously derived, by yogi’s hundreds of years ago, from shooting a bow. During the class, they play music and tell you to focus on your form and visualize what you are trying to do. Sound familiar. So I made a suggestion to my instructor (aka wife) that it might be neat to do a class that was focused on archery. She could incorporate poses that increased flexibility and balance for shooting archery. Get rid of the music, and replace it with noises we hear in the woods (bugles, gobbles, etc). Since, I don’t think many of us would attend a yoga class regularly I thought it might get a draw of hunters the week before a season opens. The Trad group seems like the hunters that would benefit the most from a class like this, so what do you think. Has my wife somehow brainwashed me or does this seem like a good idea.
