adverse effects of ashtanga

[Guest guest]

i too have experienced some concerning side

effects of ashtanga practice, perhaps eben more

concerning than loss of libido. i find that in the drive

home i am unable to tolerate my usual radio stations.

the music is too jarrin. i have devolved to only

listening to the smooth jazz station, not just after

practice, but whenever i have music on. am i doing

something wrong? am i aberrant or is this a common

disorder?

This is not "disorder" but probably a shift or

beginning transformation IMHO. Ashtanga yoga changes

affect/emotion/feeling states that emanate from the body, the face, the

organs, and the various systems of the body. (Actually

there is an affect system! Not well known, but there

you are!!)<br><br>When affects change, especially

ones that are "familiar", the personality changes,

and, above all, since it is feeling which motivates,

our motivations change as well. I think this is

inevitable with intense practice. Not to worry.

namaste-<br>it's funny, but I dig the intensity of punk music even more since

doing yoga.<br>why worry?<br>and why worry about sex? Is it really that

important to be sexually driven?
