Shock Value
In re the prompts for posts courtesy of JMS, I guess I am a boring old fart and I don't hump people at the studio (such a great word), I don't cry during savasana (I did one in paschimotanasana once in NYC), and as for the other ones... I have relatives that read this blog (so I've heard though they never comment)... and I would just feel ew revealing such thoughts to them.
Posts I'd personally like to hear about-
1. Why people do yoga instead of crack. Seems to be just as addictive. And since so many people seem to want to be skinny, maybe crack would be the easier path? My answer- don't know but worthy of further thought
2. Why yoga teachers will tell their students they've gotten fatter? For control? To slight? Or just pure comment? I know that day will come, was once told 'very heavy' and then felt it
3. The competitive side of yoga. If they "sucked" would they practice? Do they love the admiring eyes watching them do what others will never be able to do and why that is addicting? When I started yoga I was a mess, not flexible, not one of those people that were told 'you have a beautiful practice...' I know that I don't need this reassurance, perhaps this comes from working my ass off as a swimmer for so many years. I think that is why Sunday morning is my favorite class... we just kick our own asses and don't pay attention to what others can/can't do.
4. Would they practice yoga if it weren't what the cool kids were doing? yep
