Guest guest Posted August 30, 2000 Report Share Posted August 30, 2000 Hi mumble cat, I should make Mary tell the story so you can hear the groans, but imagine them in the mean time. Kripalu is a yoga center in Lenox Massachusetts, and Mary took me there for a rest and retreat weekend awhile back. She had volunteered to ride share, and two young women took a bus from NYC up to Rockland county, and Mary and I gave them a ride. Mary had been to Kripalu before but this was my first visit, so I was asking these nice women about their experiences there, and they had been there before and were very enthusiastic about the yoga and the other programs, and about the vegetarian food. (It is wonderful food) Anyway, one of them was waxing enthusiastic about the very open "atmosphere" at Kripalu, wherein the combination of food high in grains and leafy greens coupled with a relaxed, down home feeling allowed people to fart copiously. She mentioned doing yoga postures and having people pass wind right in your face with out so much as an apology. She was actually telling us how much she liked this aspect of the place. It was quite a lot of fun to hear her wax enthusiastic about giving gas, so I coined the phrase "enjoying Kripalu" for copious releasing of intestinal gasses. Aren't you glad you asked? We used to light them with a match in college. that was kinda fun too.

Note to self: never go to Kripalu without some form of gas mask protection. >She >was actually telling us how much she liked this aspect of the place.

Actually, my sister had a friend who used to work at the ER, also in weekends. She said some of the most frequent Saturday night injuries they saw were ppl who had had fun, drunk a bit, lighted their own farts and then forgotten that the flame will follow the gas also back to its source, and then gotten some burned rumps.

Guest guest Posted August 31, 2000 Report Share Posted August 31, 2000 Listen, guys, I know this is all in good fun, but it also shows how we all create our own realities by what we choose to perceive. I have been to Kripalu many times and have never been aware of the phenomena described. Kripalu (http://www.kripalu.org) is a wonderful place and offers a wide array of spiritual, holistic health, and yoga trainings and is well worth considering for anyone wanting to make a retreat or take a seminar or learn a new healing modalitiy.

Guest guest Posted August 31, 2000 Report Share Posted August 31, 2000 Hi David, I completely agree!! Kripalu is a wonderful place, with beautiful people presenting fabulous programs. Mary and I went back for 4 days this summer and absolutely loved it! The place is well ventilated too, so there is really no problem. I think that was what Naomi was trying to communicate to us, that for some people, who eat a diet rich in meat and junk food, the significanlty healthier and delicious food causes some intestinal gas production, but that it is no big deal and Kripalu is such a lovely place that this minor inconvenience is not really noticed. I just found her enthusiasm contagious and in my normal way of being spun it off into what I think of as a funny shtick. thanks for bring me back to reality and providing a grounding perspective. I echo your comments and highly suggest Kripalu as a must for anyone interested in yoga, pranayama, dance kinetics, meditation, and a wide variety of other related practices. I hope to do a month or two of seva there in between the end of my job and the start of my schooling. Thanks, David!
