Ali's class was much the same, though different at the same time.
"All right class, get on all fours for this next Strech"
"Bet you're used to this on eh Ali?" Jackson's dep voice called across the room, his joke eliciting a few snickers from the other guys.
Yoga certainly went against the hyper masculine vibe of the team, and it was only natural that a few jokes were cracked to ease the guys in.
Jackson, however, was known for his vicious jocular humor. Large, muscular, the only other player who rivaled his mass and raw masculinity was Rock. He practically defined toxic masculinity and relished bullying the other team mates knowing he could take them all.
"Fucking Jackson" came a smaller voice, Ryan. Ryan was fit and fast and could run the ball like no other, but was lacking when it came to mass. He was also short, standing at just 5'5" and blond, an look that gave him an Aire of weakness...in spite of his skill. Naturally, he was a target for the bigger Jackson.
Ali ignored it all, by now he'd learned to deal with Jackson's barbs, even if they bothered at times.
"Okay everyone!" The room gradually quieted as her voice, oddly commanding, seemed to grab the groups attention. "Now we will be doing cat cows. First ...arch your spine like a cat, really feel the vertebrae's pop and Strech"
Across the room, the boys complied, many surprised at how good the spinal release felt. Ali spied Jackson wiggling his ass in a jokingly suggestive at the player, Kyle, behind him, much to Kyle's annoyance. It was classic Jackson.
Wanting to focus, Ali faced Celia the cow woman and complied with the Strech. Surprisingly, it felt great. A rush of endorphins filled his head and he was suddenly finding himself oddly...light headed. Turning slightly, he saw that Jackson had now joined, and seemed uncharacteristically relaxed. His eyes were closed and he was slightly grinning. Turning, Ali caught eyes with Celia and she just closed hers in response, gently reminding him to relax, and focus. Wanting to comply, he closed his too and focused.
"Okay everyone, now dip your spine....be like me, like a cow..."
Ali dipped his spine. Others in the room followed suit.
"Now picture your body. Of course you are all strong, male, human, nothing like cows...yet"
The yet struck Ali as odd, but he just ignored it, enjoying the stretch.
"But if you were a cow....just imagine how much better this would feel."
Alie pictured himself as a cow, something that came oddly...natural. He grinned a bit at the stilly image of him as a cow. Covered in fur. A large udder. Ridiculous.
"Of course it would feel better because you'd have so much more spine! You'd hav a tail!"
Continuing to picture his cow self, Ali concentrated on the tail. Thick, strong and tufted it flicked back and forth. Of course, it would need a strech like the rest of him....if he were a cow.
"Picture your tail, a nice tail to flick flies away...or the errant hand from a bull."
On that note, Ali heard a soft moan from across the room, oddly it sounded like Jackson.
"Wouldn't it be nice to have a tail? Now don't you *strech* your spines. Focus on the base. Focus on the feeling of stretching and lengthening your tail."
A few scattered, yet decidedly soft grunts and moans could be heard. Ali tuned them out, however, lost in her words. He concentrated all his attention on his spine and oddly, could feel it almost shift. Somewhat excited, he felt like he could feel his tail growing.
He leaned into the Strech further and the sensations advanced as a tail extended form his spine. The new appendage twitched slightly as a prickle crossed the flesh, fur growing in and forming a thick tuft on the end.
"Your fur is perfect, soft and tufted. Ideal to catch the attention of bulls"
Ali grinned and continued stretching, more moans crossed the room.
Lost in the sensations, Ali's hardly realized he'd grown a tail as the class seemed to blur, time passing quick and his mind drifting. The words filled his mind as his thoughts fell into a haze.
