Hi Alexa!
Someone else also suggested Capoeira! I have to check it out, and love to stay well rounded! I truly believe that fitness is a life long commitment, and will hopefully get some balance into this head of mine!

Thanks so much for the feedback! I learned that, albeit the hard way ( hmmmmmm maybe my Dad was onto something when he called me thick headed;), and continue to learn as a grow, both in my practice and in life....oh and of course part of my process is a deep and abiding love for cheek injections!

Good for you Janet!
I would love to check Bryan out! He does sound like fun...and you nailed it! It is a practice..because what is perfect anyway? Life is supposed to be fun, right? Sometimes Fbombs are fun! Thanks so much for reading!

See? Now THAT, I get! I agree! My articles for RY were never catharsis....just plain humor....because, I still love my yoga. I also get the punching bag theory...you are spot on about that...and that is what I understand the least....but to each his/ her own I guess....
We all have stuff , however I can only speak for myself when I say that I don't linger on my past, or worries all that long because it is not in my character. If given the choice, I will take peace, love and joy every single time...that being said, sometimes fighting is necessary. It should never be a lifestyle, however sometimes the choice is made for us ( as was in my case..I still thank Goodness that my Dad taught me to land a shot if I was ever as a woman being threatened), and it sucks, but what can you do? You deal, you learn, you move on...but really, I get it..people are serious about their yoga, and I am not...perhaps I can try to see where they are coming from, provided they are doing their best to be kind, which is sorely lacking in this thread...

Of course you should enjoy your practice! I love mine, and I love Yoga....I just don't love going in to a class to relax and connect to my body and my spirit to be told from the conduit of light that I need a Chakrah cleanse....because then I lose focus as I wonder about the teacher being like one of the Merry Maids of the 8 fold path...and then I laugh...look it isn't easy to get out and steal 90 minutes to myself. Attending a yoga class is a treat for me so I want to enjoy it, free from the barrage of what I view as weirdness....

I would, but it is one heck of a commute from where I am!
If you saw how huge I was pregnant you would know how fitting Recovering Elephant would be in my world!

It is possible that notarecoveringyogi is a fan of mine....ever since I wrote 2 articles for RY the paparazzi has been just an endless nightmare!
