Ujai Breath

Last night I walked into yoga class to witness the tail end of an argument that seemed on the verge of a full-on yoga-fight. I'm so bummed I missed it. I've been to that teacher's class before and I have to say the twenty minutes of chanting did put me in somewhat of a rage, but I thought it was just me. I felt a little sorry for the teacher. It's gotta be humbling to have a violent yoga class. I have compassion for people whose lives are ostensibly built on being teaching peace, love and the repression of the innate complexity of human emotions (ok, so I'm a little judgemental...). Another good reason why white men shouldn't grow dreadlocks...it's just too risky.

Just for today, I can reserve judgement.

A fight at yoga, what is the world coming to. Now where am I go for an hour and a half of peace.

No fights last night, just the breath..........

Yoga is so boring...;-)

Alex:

Stella what are you saying

Stella:

Maybe if people weren't so bored in yoga and were having more fun, they would feel more peaceful...
