Guest guest Posted March 2, 2001 Report Share Posted March 2, 2001 My definition of a yoga tourist is not someone who goes on holiday to take yoga, but one who visits yoga like a tourist - eg desecrates the environment he/she is visiting.<br><br>if you want to live like a punk, dont expect the world to accomodate you, however if you are a toilet cleaner, India has great need of you!<br><br>essons were learnt in the late 70s and Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 3, 2001 Report Share Posted March 3, 2001 A yoga tourist is also someone who thinks they are in a position to give out a lot of advice on how to do ashtanga yoga but can't even do it himself. <br><br>If these conditions are so terrible as the toilet cleaner is saying, then why does the toilet cleaner want to go? If it is so expensive for you to spend time with an 86 year old yogi, then ask the 86 year old yogi to take less money from you. Go ahead and ask him.<br><br>I would put up with quite a lot to have the chance to be in a class with Pattabhi Jois in Mysore What's wrong with waiting a couple of hours? I've been waiting my whole life. And what the hell else are you going to do there? Bring a book for goodness sakes. I guess it all depends on how entitled one thinks they are.<br><br>FBL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 3, 2001 Report Share Posted March 3, 2001 Don't mind: of course, I WILL keep my mouth open - if only to inquire, and not just to swallow, and swallow, just like you seem to do.<br><br>If I don't do astanga every day, that's because I want to keep my practice lively, so it doesn't degenerate in some kind of boring routine. I think I can learn a lot from other approaches in yoga too, like Iyengar Yoga, which I did for 3 years & which I now practise along with Astanga Yoga. Fortunately, there are also a lot of people here who post messages which are really helpful to me, and not just individuals like you who post nothing but fundamentalist B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T!!!!

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2001 Report Share Posted March 3, 2001 What is a yogi's relationship with money? What does Guruji do with his? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 3, 2001 Report Share Posted March 3, 2001 Why should we know about Guruji and what he does with his money? Our duty is to pay guru dakshina to him and forget about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
