Wee paws for station identification

We have a yoga DVD from the local TsUM called “Yoga for two”.  The premise is that yoga practice will make you a better lay.  (Not why we bought it; we just wanted some yoga.  But anything fitness-y here tends to be charged with a lot more sex appeal than in the US, especially for women, many of whom work out in full makeup and even kicky accessories like a little hat.)

This whole time we’ve been doing this yoga program, I thought the lead instructor (who literally does yoga IN HER PANTIES) has been saying to breathe through your seksualnoe vedro – your sexual bucket.  I never had a problem with this, thinking a sexual bucket in Russian must be like a honey pot in English.  And since the yoga lady is a real minx, always making bedroom eyes and looking like she’s cruising a singles bar, it all made sense to me.

As it turns out all this time she’s been saying to breathe through your seksualnoe yadro – your sexual CORE.

So disappointing.  And unclear too.  What is a sexual core?  I think my sexy is kind of spread all over.  I transport it places in my bucket, the bucket that is my body.
