noises in yoga class

I've been very diligent... I have refocused my energies and have been going to yoga on a daily basis (well, 5 days a week, which is pretty much daily in work terms). Just yesterday though, I was in a full class where there was an older gentleman close by (diagonal to me). We were doing downward dogs and moving into plank when I heard some noise. Someone had farted. I looked around quickly, wondering who it was. I think it was the guy, who kept grunting through his moves.

Class continued along with more farts coming out. It was like the guy had bowel movement problems. Or at least he couldn't control the gas. Nothing worse than having loud farting sounds every so often in a relatively quiet yoga class. The only thing that would have been more embarrassing is if people thought it was coming from me. You can bet I won't place my mat near the guy the next time I see him.
