Naked Prasarita Padottanasana
Every once and awhile I check in with Google Analytics to check out the interesting search terms that brought people my way. This past week, I saw the most interesting yet:
Naked Prasarita Padottanasana.
I couldn't help but think of the Naked Juice drink (which I think is owned by Coke or Pepsi or one of those megaliths). It's like... "Mmmm! Tasty Naked Asana!" My goodness, that sounds messy. Anyway, couldn't help but wonder what that person was really looking for out there. A picture? A description of the tush in that pose? Who knows. Actually, maybe you're out there, reading right now... in which case, do you know?
I know that my blog came up because of a joke-y piece I wrote awhile back on Yoga poses that are awkward to do naked. Still, it makes a girl wonder.
For the bloggers out there, what's the oddest search query you've seen?
