(Yoga) CRIME STOPPERS!<br><br>COPY THE FOLLOWING

AND CARRY IT WITH YOU ALWAYS. CROSS-EXAMINE ANY

SO-CALLED ASTANGA YOGA TEACHER WITH THESE QUESTIONS TO

DETERMINE IF THEY ARE ENGAGING IN OR PROMOTING CRIMINAL

BEHAVIOR. <br><br>--<br><br>to help those on this board

ferret out those devious types out there from corrupting

the rest of "us", i have put aside my

responsibilities here at work and put together a list of signs to

watch for. feel free to add to the list as there is

likely no end to the number of crims and poseurs out

there.<br>SIGNS OF A YOGA CRIM:<br>1. have tattos<br>2. are not

spw<br>3. are not guruji or sharath (manju may or may not

qualify. until clear evidence of non-criminality is given,

he remains, of course, a crim)<br>4. have ever

written a book, made a video, put together a schematic of

stick figures illustrating the postures, sold a cloth

mat or otherwise made a profit from anything to do

with yoga<br>5. sell chapatis or lentils at a greater

than market price<br>6. curl your finger and thumb

together at any time other than when in padmasana<br>7.

are stiff<br>8. are a "nazi" (this one is a fairly

broad category, from what i can gather here, if #2

applies then this one may too)<br>9. ever give medical

advice or use a medicine<br>10. ever eat anything other

than raw rutabaga, swiss chard or carrot puree.<br>11.

ever try something different in yoga<br><br>send your

contributions for signs to watch for, the authoritative list is

being made <br><br>-- okgr
