| Thanks for the links to the YogaFit debate. The stance that it sent teachers out too soon really resonated with me. After I did my 8 hours, I subbed for awhile, but quit. I felt so inadequate & it felt disrespectful to yoga. Several months went by and the inner voice kept bugging me to get back to it-I really do love yoga. I then signed up for Level 2 and felt a lot better after completing it. We worked on adjustments and chakras. I felt more prepared. I'm signed up for Level 3 in the spring. I do plan on finishing the program and getting Alliance certified. (And by the way, since I practiced for so many years before training, I did know what Namaste meant, but I do remember them teaching it, lol!) It's interesting what some of the threads brought up-how some people hate Yogafit so much that they wouldn't hire or take a class from a YF person. Even though that is my technical training, I teach from the heart, strive to learn everything I can, and take care of my class. Not to toot my own horn, but they would be missing out by passing me by!  I realize I have a lot more to learn, but I feel good enough now to teach and be respectful to yoga. I don't teach things I don't feel very comfortable/safe with at this point. Further down the road, I'll teach headstands and such, but not until I'm 100% comfortable with my training. But, to tell the truth, I'd take classes first at someone's studio, get to know them and they me, before ever considering applying. By then, my training would not be an issue. The reason I say this? I asked a studio woman if I could possibly be on her sub list (I was there taking my daughter to a kid yoga class), she asked about my training, I told her YF and she looked horrified!  Quite funny, really. She said they did NOT teach YF at their studio. I don't really teach YF, so right then and there I decided to never apply someplace until they knew me. I believe my love of yoga comes through when I practice. I posted this here b/c the other YF threads were so old. I just wanted to say, I agree with both views-YF has been good for me, but it has its limitations. I plan to use the training to my benefit, but also to train elsewhere when I'm finished. I imagine I'll train all of my life. | |||

Expert Yogi Posts: 1738   Location: right where I'm supposed to be | Hey Kym, I love Gabriel Roth & the Mirrors. I find their music hypnotic. If you like them, you should check out some of Anugama's music, especially Shamanic Dream I & II. P.S. Kym, stay on path and follow your heart. You know your true intentions. Just to answer a question here about my son/computer, well I obtained the password from him. I wanted to check out his myspace and a lot of children were making their profiles private. As it turned out, all the kids are good children. They're doing the basic 11-12 year old thing but nothing more. For those who might think this is spying, I'll accept that label. I'd like to think of myself as a concerned and involved parent. Being familiar with the law firsthand, I know how fast things could spiral out of control in the case of something happening to a child. I would like to know where my child is, who they are socializing with, and with whom they are speaking to on the internet. As I stated, they're all good kids. I'm glad this thread stayed. It is interetsing to see all participate in a subject that can illicit such strong emotions. We are all adults and should be able and can behave in a manner that is complimentary to our beliefs. I respect everyone's opinion as I hope all will respect mine. Thanks for all your input (to all of you) OK, off to class!!!! Peace!! Mishy  Edited by mishoga 2006-02-24 7:29 AM | ||

Expert Yogi Posts: 5098 Location: Somewhere in the Mountains of Western NC | Mishoga, Thanks for telling us about your son's Myspace. For what its worth, my 13 year old daughter is on myspace and so am I. There are some really cool yoga groups and ayurveda, etc, there - even Bikram. Guess what, the Bikram people are really cool and friendly. I like it because there are a great many diverse types of folks there. I also like the part because there is more freedom and if you act ugly to someone...you just sap them out of your life by using the Block feature or you can delete your friends if you don't like them anymore. I like a world that is SELF Governing. Then if they really want to be your friend, you can later accept them back. I monitor my daughters profile and activity all the time. I don't ask for her password though, I just sit with her while she's surfing around and she actually shows me how to manouver around in the joint. She also does all this funky stuff with my profile using all these secret codes..I'm like WTF?? How did you learn that and WOW!! She's a genius. As for the kids being on there....Frankly, if you talk to your kids about good behavior and the RULES (Yes, we do have so rules) then everything goes smooth and we don't have to worry about predators. In fact, I doubt a predator would last long around my daugther, they couldn't handle it. For kids, there's another great safe place for chatting called Neo Pets if anyone is interesting in knowing that. Then of course, I think most kids have AIM. I like that one better cause I get so tired of my land line phone being tied up, | ||

Expert Yogi Posts: 5098 Location: Somewhere in the Mountains of Western NC | Click on my little red myspace and take a looksee.. It's another world on the internet....a great big giant new world...for connecting and just doing whatever. You can set up pics of yourself and whatever else you like to do. You may not be able to view everything on my profile unless you set up an account and then I have to accept you as a friend to be able to view certain items and make comments to me. | ||

Bruce - 2006-02-23 10:40 PM hahah--when I used to go to Bikram on my Harley, I'd ask 'em to lock my revolver up during class--they didn't like me much there...and the feeling was mutual. I've been the Texas. I was pretty sure that anybody who wasn't armed was considered a tourist. While I was traveling through Texas I was pulled over. At the time I was moving from Florida to Californa, so I had everything I owned in a rented truck plus my old car. Anyway, I was lost, and accidentally tried to cross the border into Mexico. Before letting me turn around, they asked to search the truck, which I had no problems with. While they were searching the truck I was talking to one of the officers. He was being pretty friendly, so I explained that I was moving across the country, etc. Anyway he asks pretty casually if I owned a gun. I said no, and he looked over at me as says "You're traveling alone, with everything you own in a truck, right along the Mexican border, and you DON'T have a gun?" Absolutely floored him. I actually have one fire arm in my name, but don't really own any. I've got no problem with guns, I just don't have much interest in them, and they're expensive and potentially dangerous. My father's got quite a collection, and sometimes we go shooting, though I like yoga better. Anyway, I'm a big fan of guns don't kill people, people kill people. | |||

BB, I guess this means you and I are definitely twins!!! I'm a pistol packing yogi myself...although, I'd rather not ever have to use it...been there and had to do that once before..not pretty. That is why I have Yodha. The other day I was on the AT (Applachain Trail). Yodha loves everybody. He's the coolest Rottweiler and the most laid back dog ever. However, there were 2 guys that just didn't pass his doggie inspection. He went nuts when they went by and spoke to us - me and my daughter. The men were pretty friendly, but Yodha sensed something different. Yodha's babysitter told me later how he protects her like that and said.."Trust him, he knows, cause once we had a strange person come in here and it really set Yodha off". Interesting. GJ, I travelled through Texas by myself once several years ago...without my pistol. I was okay at that time, but if I ever do it again...the pistol and Yodha will be with me. I was traveling through the Northern part of the state which was actually very mild, but times are changing. Here in my neck of the woods, I can't rely on police...it takes them an hour just to respond. There some crazy moonshine drinking fools up here...trust me, those pics that BB showed us not too long ago, I was half serious My neighbors get drunk and fight each other all the time. The judge threw it out of court when they scalped each other's head and were put in the hospital. The sheriff once told me once to get my A$$ in the house when they started that crap. I had to warn both of my neighbors not to get my house confused with each other's - when they aren't drunk, they are just as sweet and well mannered normal people as they can be. So, you can imagine. I'd be dead or I'd have to fight somebody really hard and mess up my hair and nails....forget that, | ||

Cyndi - 2006-02-24 10:35 AM BB, I guess this means you and I are definitely twins!!! I'm a pistol packing yogi myself...although, I'd rather not ever have to use it...been there and had to do that once before..not pretty. Sounds like an interesting story, care to share? That is why I have Yodha. The other day I was on the AT (Applachain Trail). Yodha loves everybody. He's the coolest Rottweiler and the most laid back dog ever. However, there were 2 guys that just didn't pass his doggie inspection. He went nuts when they went by and spoke to us - me and my daughter.

Yodha's babysitter told me later how he protects her like that and said.."Trust him, he knows, cause once we had a strange person come in here and it really set Yodha off". Interesting. Dogs are great like that. Never had a problem with one giving me a failed inspection, though I've had a lot of people give me odd looks from time to time. I like dogs better. GJ, I travelled through Texas by myself once several years ago...without my pistol. I was okay at that time, but if I ever do it again...the pistol and Yodha will be with me. I was traveling through the Northern part of the state which was actually very mild, but times are changing. I was going through the western part in the real desolate areas near the border. There's a state route or something that runs through there, I'm sure Bruce knows the one I'm thinking about. Anyway, the trooper might have been right, through frankly I didn't have much worth stealing. There some crazy moonshine drinking fools up here...trust me, those pics that BB showed us not too long ago, I was half serious Not sure what you're refering to. My neighbors get drunk and fight each other all the time. The judge threw it out of court when they scalped each other's head and were put in the hospital. The sheriff once told me once to get my A$$ in the house when they started that crap. I had to warn both of my neighbors not to get my house confused with each other's - when they aren't drunk, they are just as sweet and well mannered normal people as they can be. So, you can imagine. I'd be dead or I'd have to fight somebody really hard and mess up my hair and nails....forget that, Wow! Sounds almost as dangerous as some parts of Cincy I've lived in. For the most part I don't have any real issues. Most people would rather not mess with somebody who's 6'2" and 225 lbs. Much easier targets around I'm sure. Being a woman in such a situation can be very difficult I'm sure. It really makes me sad when I read about all the women who are abused and can't do anything about it. | |||
