power flow and second series

[Guest guest]

in my teacher's defense, she is NOT a yoga

criminal. if that were so, everyone would be a yoga

criminal. even at that, she also wouldn't be teaching

aerobics if it was in Vogue instead of yoga. Yoga is truly

her life. The fact is, many people do yoga for

fitness purposes and that is something you can't deny.

That doesn't make them any less of a person. People

get bored. That's all there is to it. And I know that

you'll say that one of the lessons of yoga is patience,

human beings in this day in age AREN'T patient. No one

on this list is patient. That doesn't mean that

we're not trying to develop our patient qualities, it

just means we have to keep trying. Can you honestly

say that you have NEVER said something like "if only

I could get my ankles to cross in supta kurmasana"

or "when will i be able to comfortably sit in

lotus?"? THAT in itself is being unpatient. So, for those

of us who do regularly attend one of these yoga

criminal "power flow" classes for fitness purposes, and

those of us whose self esteem gets just a little higher

by someone telling them they are good enough to try

something else, we are only admitting to being human, which

is more than i can say for some of the pompous

assholes that feel the need to degrade everyone on this

list. My teacher is not a criminal, once again, and i

love her dearly. she has provided me with the support

that i need to see myself as a worthwhile person when

i used to not be so kind. just think about what

people could throw stones at you for, before you start

tossing your own at others.
