| Great to see you are offering yoga classes. However, just a little recommendation for how you promote this lovely sounding centre-
You sound like brainwashed cult member. 'The only way........'. Who told you its the only way? Where did you read this? Do you believe everything people tell you? Are you certified by some madman? Did you try out all the infinite possible ways yourself? If so you must be enlightened and thousands of years old. That is some feat. Pauline, the longest journey starts with the first step and there are many ways to reach the top of the mountain. |

| Gee Vibes - you must be having a bad hair day. 
“The only way to excel and learn from your yoga practice is through consistent Yoga Exercise.” is completely sound. She did not say her teaching is the only way.
Namaste

| Ha haha. The only way to excell in yoga is not through consistent yoga exercise. You could say the only way to excell in yoga is to calm down and be more aware and integrate what you do in a yoga class into your life.Or............the list is endless.It is blatantly not the only way. I know she is the advertisment agency. But to help her out I made the comment. |

| dude you been nothing but bad vibes since you got here.
you hijack like every thread you comment on.
it's almost impossible to have any sort of discussion about a yoga related subject without you turning it into a bull$hit semantic debate in which you present any number of non-sequitor arguments and make backhanded remarks towards anyone who disagrees.
...
the importance of dissenting and diverse opinions cannot be overstated.
but the sheer aggressiveness and volume of your postings make it difficult for other voices to be heard.
its hard...you clearly have a lot of valuable ideas, but the manner in which you express them lacks tact and respect for the community that has been built here over the years.
...
i imagine you're probably scoffing right now and wondering what my problem is.
you're just following what you consider to be the correct course of action, right?
i'd just like to enjoy reading and writing about yoga.
i guess if it's too hot on here for me, i'm free to leave.

| Hi Dhanurasana. You should try to brush your teeth consistently with Houston Yoga exercise toothpaste. Its the only way to get your teeth white. Then you will be totally spritually teeth whitened in oral samadhi.
None of my threads have a lack of respect. Yoga is a philosophy and a way of life. We need to question everything and work things out for ourselves to progress in Yoga. Its good to help others each other develop and question too. I understand if you feel what Im doing is wrong. That may seem aggressive but its written without any aggressivness. Often children cry when they are 'told off'. That is your freedom to think what you think.However I do not believe in right or wrong. Because right or wrong is only according to someone else. Im not even saying that Houston yoga is right or wrong. But Im questioning the 'fact' that the only way to progress in Yoga is through consistent Yoga exercise which many will probably disagree with. I feel that is a good thing for everyone to be open.
If you read your post as if it was directed towards you. Would you feel its aggressive? To me its just you expressing yourself. That is fine. Maybe try another toothpaste? |

| Vibes, you may not feel aggression as you type your answers, but your responses do often sound as if you are trying to be provocative or feeling aggressive. That may be an artifact of your writing style, rather than being something that you are doing consciously, but dhanurasana is expressing a perception that is likely shared by others. You, of course, can disagree, but that doesn't mean that the perception is invalid.

| I suppose we dont feel aggression as we walk. But to an ant we must be extremely aggressive.Kindly point out any comments I have made that seem to you to be aggressive or provocative.For now lets agree to disagree. Im sure that dhanurasanas choice of words could seem the same to others. But Im not offended in anyway. |

| Vibes - you got mad with the name “Iyengar Yoga”, twisted what was written and smashed the writer. In order to bash your real target which is Iyengar, you said “are you certified by some madman?”, isn’t this your “subtle” way to sending evil thoughts of associating madness with Iyengar? Since your truth is there is no right nor wrong action, it is perfectly ok for you to do anything with no considerations for others? lol? Namaste |

| You guys are fighting in futility. Haven't you noticed that Iyengar Yoga" did not even know where he went wrong when he said "The only way"? |

| LOL. This is too funny for words. All I pointed out was that IyengarYoga wrote "The only way" which it isnt-
Surely someone can see that??? No need for anyone to get upset.However its your freedom to get upset if you feel to.But there is seriously no need to.
A good example is to watch 'Ali G', Borat or Bruno.These films were made to make people laugh and think. Many were deeply offended and thought they were being bashed. However he wasnt trying to make money without consideration for others and send evil thoughts of associating this or that. Anyone offended by me, I suggest watches his films or funny tv shows and then get back to me, if you havent wet yourselves laughing by then. |

Why Tonmoy, are you asking someone not to to say something?
It is in her natural freedom to say what she wants as it is with antaraayaah, Bruce, me and anyone else on this forum.
Kellyong40 why are you sorry for having typed some words? What do you understand?
Please answer as you will never be free if you feel sorry. I dont feel any negativity from your reply Kelly. |

You are right Vibes, we can but my teacher yogacharyaji is also right.
We shouldn't be extremely aggressive this way towards anybody around us. And you see we are only giving him/her more importance to be more popular here, haha
Dont you think so?

| Kelly-how were you being aggressive? You were making a good valid point.If you were being aggressive its your freedom to do so.If you don want to be aggressive it is more effective you learn for yourself rather than a teacher telling you whats right and trying to correct you according to what someone else believes is right.Otherwise you dont learn for yourself e.g. In America over a century ago many felt it was right that people with dark skin color give up their seats to white people-In many parts of India today people with a darker skin are looked down on and many within India feel thats fine (how many dark skinned modern bollywood film stars do you know?),its only when we start to think for ourselves that we can learn and make a positive change. Its valuble to build yourself up according to yourself, not someone elses rights and wrongs, whether its me or anyone else.
In other words be yourself. Because we cannot be our true selves, grow, improve and develop if we are not free to learn and discover for ourselves. In the same way we cannot teach a baby the 'right' way to walk. Because its just one enforcing their beliefs of whats 'right' on the baby. It wont work well too. A baby has to learn through experience and sensation.
Why is this relevant to a yoga forum? Because yoga is meant to develop and flow like the holy river ganges and not be like a stagnant pond.
On a yoga forum we should encourage each other to even ask 'silly questions'. Why? Because silly questions are sometimes to do with personal sensations which can be very important and often more interesting than serious questions.
Yogacharya - You or Kelly have not hurt my feelings. Dont worry yourself. Its fine. I dont see a problem with someone advertising something positive like yoga here. However thats upto the forum officials to decide. |

| If you are aggressive, be aggressive. To pretend that you are not aggressive when you are is not only dishonest, it stops you from being aware of and seeing your aggressiveness. You will never become non-violent through trying to be non-violent. You will only cover your violence up with high sounding platitudes.
If you want to be non-violent (or non-aggressive, which is kind of the same thing), you need to see and understand your violence and outgrow your need for it. If you sublimate or repress your violence and pretend that you are non-violent, you are only strengthening it and making it manifest itself in devious ways.
That which is unconscious does not go away or stop influencing your thoughts and behavior. If things are conscious, if you are aware of them, you can understand them and you can choose how you want to act. If things are unconscious, they will manipulate your behavior but you will not be aware of it.
Condemning someone else's violence is itself a violent act. Repressing your aggressiveness is an aggressive act.
That being said, it is a good idea to be polite, even when being aggressive, as people can communicate much better when they are polite.

According to Vibes no principle principle, no action is either right or wrong, any action is ok, so nothing is considered weird, and WTFs are good too! Vibes - did I get your teaching correctly?

I am really sorry. But I tell you that I’m not a “GURU,” I don’t think so. I am only a simple Yoga Teacher. You are intelligent enough and understood that many things still I don’t know. I hope you also understand and forgive my ignorance, how to appear on line to interact with a student. You are so angry and unhappy with my comment that you wrote twice; however I want to apologize only to make you happy. God bless you……………

I am neither angry or upset...believe me. I just found it strange and weird. If you really wanted your student to not participate, you should do that in private, rather than throwing your authority around as if you were someone above us all. Now you say you are a nobody, but your post led us to think something differently. Go back and check what you wrote to the entire world. This is something that for etiquette purposes and the embarrassment of your student that should of been handled PRIVATELY.
Anyway, all is well.....OM SHANTI SHANTI SHANTHI

| The Walking Meditation. Monks in monasteries used to do this, and still do--walk the quadrangle. You can do it too. Find yourself a set path, a circular track or a square, perhaps on a sports field, or in a large garden. Walk the path to get to know the route. Then, when you are ready, take in a slow deep breath, then let it out slowly. Be conscious of your body. Feel or sense your entire body. Then start walking slowly. While you walk mentally notice how your body is functioning. Do not judge or criticize it, just be aware of your body. Do not rush this or any other meditation. If a thought comes into your head which says: “This is silly,” or “I have to get the dog to the vet,” push them gently away, and resume your walking. After 10 or 15 minutes, stop, and get on with your life. |
