Super Mutant Post #1

To Yoga, or Not To Yoga?

As a SuperMutant, I had this question run through my head for years. I had heard about all the great things it does to your body, but, then you have the doctor who has seen more of you than anyone else will have, tell you it is not a good idea. This, was also from the same doctor that told dear old me, that I was too competitive to do any form of contact sport or winter sport.

Anyways, I digress. But as I said, you have to question quite legitimately the benefits of Yoga on the SuperMutant body. Remember, depending on your level of mutation, things may or may not be there, could also be in slightly different locations, or only partially there.

Now as those of us who have beaten around the world of flatbacks and normals, we kinda know what we can and can't do, but for you aspiring and younger Mutants, what is some good advice? Firstly, gauge how long you have lived with your mutation. If you are say 20 years old, and your mutation occurred at 15, therefore you get 5 years. Now, if you can say that you have been active for those 5 years, then I would say sure, give it a shot with your doctors consent, but you MUST ask the instructor if they are willing to work with you.

For us SuperMutants, those of us who have been around a while, or have had a longer mutation cycle than the whelps, then we can do it only if we can be sure that we have that extra awesome ability that mutation teaches us, ADAPTABILITY! Yes, I know it is a tough word to use, but, if you can't adapt to your mutation, then Yoga is not your best friend, I would probably downsize to middle aged Pilates Class, Tai Chi! Actually, Tai Chi is great for Mutants of all classification!

Now personally, I love my Yoga. Also keep in mind, you will have to mix with normals. Now, if you are like me, and are able to interact with Flatbacks and other classes of Normals, then you should be good. Best thing about doing Normal and Flatback activities, is when one of them come up to you and say good on you. It does put them at ease. Now also, if you are like me, and have grown a very warped and twisted sense of humour, which is about as twisted as my back, then chuckle just loud enough for the instructor to hear when they say, "I want to see a good strong back, take the dome out of your back!". When you get to know the instructor, throw in the response "well, I was hoping Yoga would fix that! or, Well, can you tell the others to take the flat out of their backs, I am mortified at all this normal".

Overall though, and in all seriousness, Supermutants, ask your Instructor if they feel they are qualified, or at least trained long enough to handle your mutation.

Now off with you all, I need my sleep, and feel the urge to throw heavy objects at people who leave their smelly shoes in the window while the wind blows in from outside.. And Normal's think we have barbaric manners!
