You got 8 out of 10 right! . Great quiz. If I keep taking your quizzes, I might find myself enrolled in a nearby yoga class soon…your post and quizzes are so compelling
Grat score!
That would be wonderful. Would love to know how you get on if you do!
I was reading this out loud, my son was behind me taking the test with me. I couldn’t get through it I was cracking up so bad. This was excellent and very informative while being hilarious. I loved it. Great quiz as always. I got 8 correct.
Haha very good, I’m happy you both enjoyed it so much! And well done on such a great score
9 out of 10. The last one had me cracking up! LMBO! I thought the answer I selected said cracking your back. LMBO!
Hahaha no, we’ll definitely try to avoid that in a yoga class
I do much better when it is just general trivia…
Yes, something like this can be a littke tricky if you are not familiar with the topic
I guessed one and got it wrong – 9/10.
Fantastic score, well done
Thank you

You’re very much welcome, Ishtar
5/10 Not bad. Awesome quiz!
50% is a decent score, glad you had fun
Yoga is for smartness ?
I don’t think it’s generally associated with increased intelligence but it can definitely help you develop better concentration and focus which would help academically.
Hope that answers your question!

It’s always good to add a little humour
