Lemniscate Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 The Western definition of yoga is a distortion of its original purpose in Hinduism. I always laugh a bit when people talk about loving yoga, because most people truly have no idea what yoga actually is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dweller of Parables Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 The fact that people pay to be instructed on how to put your body in what seems to be physically impossible positions' date=' amuses me.Partly because you can watch and or read National Geographic and get the instructions for free. But I shouldn't complain, I can't even do the easiest of Yoga posses. Sitting Indian Style with your elbows in your knees and your hands around your feet.My joints just won't co-operate, it's embarrassing.[/quote'] The fact that you didn't see was this one...People pay to be instructed simply because it is taught by someone who knows. You can do the same with any other subject. Why go to school then when you can look it all up online or watch Discovery, National Geographic, or History Channel for all you information? The instructor will note your flaws and will try to help you understand. Your joints won't cooperate simply because you are out of shape. Now go exercise. :P You pay to go to college, so that you can use that education to make money.I laughed at the fact they paid for yoga, as for the fact it is all over the place. It's like paying to money to go to a Football game, or to see a movie. It's what you do to pass time, it's a hobby. No actually, I simply cannot stretch my joints like that sir. Thank you for once again stating the obvious in a tl;dr format. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T. Sankara Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 I always thought Yoga was more of a woman's thing, but meh. I dunno, if I'll ever take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
