There's some weird shit in yoga practices. I remember seeing that clip of the trumpet guy talking about how he could "fly." For months I believed he was claiming he can levitate off the ground because that's how he was describing it. Then I found out "flying," is just jumping with your legs crossed in that meditation pose. It looks like hell on your knees since you're pretty much landing on them and jumping with them
Yes there is. I'm finishing up my 200 Hour Certification and there have been more than a few "wait...what?" moments during the training. My girlfriend did here's through a local studio and they were even wackier...
Yoga is just like everything else. There's some really good stuff, some stuff that made a lot of sense 5000 years ago that still kind of applies now...and some stuff that you wish you didnt learn.
Case in point for me was that the original yogis that devoted their life to just yoga and meditation wouldn't eat before they practiced in the morning (Sun Salutations are supposed to be literal) and if they ate the night before, they would give themselves enemas. And they weren't allowed to practice yoga if they had any morsel of food in their body or it was considered an "improper"/"invalid" practice....
I've only heard glimpses of the oddities since I listen to a youtube channel run by a therapist who studied yoga to become a monk. He talked about a practice (to not do) where you drive your heel into your taint which if done long enough it makes you infertile. He also talked about having to do a meditation alone with a man to unlock his erotic chakra. He said he didn't do anything with the man but people definitely abuse that practice and not all monks are so clean.
But there are a lot of weird practices around the proper way to have food. Judaism has had a lot of different variations of how to eat food kosher. I've read some people have different plates depending on if the food is a plant, diary, or meat. Some people think you have to wait a few hours before eating dairy and meat so they don't mix. But of course, you can have seafood, cheese, and bread at the same time (so long as it isn't a crab or shrimp) but you can't have a cheeseburger. You also can't have imitation bacon. Makes no sense
Your mouth and your nose are separated by the soft palate and uvula at the back of the throat. When you swallow or gag the soft palate rises to close off the nose.
The nasal cavity opens above that (the nasopharynx and choanae). To get your tongue into the nasal cavity you’d have to somehow get it above the soft palate — which is not normally possible without cutting or a major structural defect.
You can reach and press your tongue up against the soft palate or the back of your throat (some people have long tongues or a high palate and can touch or push higher than others). That can feel like it’s “up there,” but it’s still inside the mouth/oropharynx, not the nasal cavity.
Exceptions (rare):
Congenital defects like a large palatal cleft, or prior surgery/trauma that removes or disconnects the palate, could make a path to the nasal cavity possible. Those are medical/surgical situations, not a party trick.
I've done this 2-3 times a day like a little autistic mfer to clear shit out for like 16 years. Full stage 4. Never had a problem. Just gets sensitive if you do it too much while you're sick or something.
The more advanced version of this involves using the tongue to scoop out diverticula in the colon. Only a yoga master or a politician can scoop out their own pockets, so rely on their pages to do so for them.

Glad you made this comment. What a weird fucking article. It reads like a giant fucking joke that I'm not in on.

I've been able to do this my entire life.
I know this sounds disgusting but this skill is a blessing when your sinuses are blocked up. I can just use my tongue to literally clean it out.
I can also roll my tongue and it's kind of longer than average so it's really a blessing.
