You guys looking for Angelina Jolie?
Audrey
NAAH Jennifer Garner  |
|
| |
|
| Demi Moore perhaps. |
|
| |
|
| I'm all for a female guru! Just imagine her demonstrating all the bendy asanas!
I could live with Angelina happily ever after, as a guru or otherwise .... mmmmmmmmmmm ..... And isn't she actually a yogini anyway?
Jennifer Garner? Not my type, sorry.
Demi Moore? A bit old don't ya think? Heck, she's even older than me!
What about Rosario Dawson? A hottie if I may say so. |

What are the attributes that a Guru should have? A calm soul, with profound
knowledge, no doubt. One who sees the humor and wisdom in life's misfortunes, especially
those associated with falling out of balance poses. One who is self-effacing, perhaps,
and not given broad displays of hubris. A person who embodies the principles of yoga.
A person who performs asanas with grace. A person who can convince us that we don't
need to slaughter our rivals. A person who is not give to strong language or displays of
aggression. A person who eats lightly and avoids hard liquor.
I've got another proposal. It should be the man that Richard (D***) Butkis calls "Another sensitive big guy."His Stamina's incredible. He is able to deal with life's misfortunes with wisdom and humor. He has to be one of the most flexible people on the planet. He's one who enforces gentle discipline but has an immense heart. Non competative. Not pridefull. Loves everyone.
I'm talking about SANTA CLAUS.
Sorry he doesn't eat lightly, and I don't know about his drinking habits. But who can teach us better to appreciate the body we have.

Location: A Blue State | Whoah, Whoah, Whoah!! So much input!!!
Lemme seee..... Okay, Angelina Jolie: the one with the heavily padded bra in those
Tomb Raider movies. No Way!!! Better choice: Angela Bassett (remember her playing
Tina Turner...she gotta be a yogi).
Who said Thomas Crown/Pierce Brosnan? Ugh! I liked the lady he played opposite,
Rene Russo...she mussed him up. Sean Connery, well, that's a good prospect: "Shaken,
not stirred" (or was is "Stirred, not shaken"?). Demi Moore...can't deal with her...she's
annoying...even Bruce Willis thought so, am I right?
Someone suggested Homer Simpson...how 'bout Bugs Bunny, instead?
I'm most amused that that woman Madonna hasn't been nominated. She can even
do Chakorasana (but she needs to work on the inward rotation of the upraised leg).
Now, Santa Claus is in another dimension. He's resolved all his karma and has just
come back here to be kind to children. He'd be great, but he only teaches one day
per year.
All of these actors fail on the fundamental requirements: they do not inspire one on the
path of yoga. They all shoot or screw people, and that stirs up passions that are
inamicable to the yogi's aims. I don't want my guru to inspire me to put a bullet
(or anything else) into someone. So NAH!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thursara asks: "are you guys willing to worship your guru?"
What's the consensus on this question? We have to talk about worship...is it an offering
of prasad, touching the feet...? Maybe if we understand this, we'll get SOME BETTER CHOICES
for a guru.
I will continue work on our Strategic Plan this week. Did any of you take a cut at the
Mission Statement yet?

Ooooo....do we need a web site or not? I spent most of yesterday erecting
yet another, mainly for the purpose of declaring turf. It's lovely, but I had better
things to do with my time. Web sites are too much work. Let's start thinking
about the book instead:
Who can model for The Iron John Yoga Murga? Maybe we can find our
guru by picking our model. Any suggestions?

Hey BG dont be crazy.. What can you do without a web site?????????
Later you can brand Iron John Yoga mat, IJ Yoga Cloths, IJ Yoga tea (Lora will Drink that ) and sell them online.. Done worry I will help you anything with Web

I say Bruce, since he's like the prototype for IJY anyway. Once he posted a pic of himself in tha bikramite one legged prayer pose. Outstanding physic abilities!
PS: 1 0 0 0 !!!!! Yippieyay!

| Instructor suggestions.
Well if they have to be women do they have to meet some criteria, like no "gentle yoga." Based on that most of these women must be vinyassa/power/ashtanga based. Since we want the best studio they must be of national stature. I see two main catetories. The more "experienced" instructors who are highly adaptable and will make guys really sweat; and the possibly slightly less demanding, but will really attract a crowd, "Lookers."
For the experienced instructors.
Barbara Benaugh
Anna Forrest
Beryl Bender Birch
Desiree Rumbaugh
For the lookers
Seane Corn
Shiva Rhea
Sara Ivanhoe
Natasha Rizopolos
But they have to be clearly told of the guidelines like no incense, no candles and most certainly no aromatherapy. |

Bruce, first, you need to find out whether Twisti wishes to model with you.
Second, and I had thought that this was obvious, there are NO partner poses
in Iron John Yoga Marga.

Certainly no gentle yoga. No [invasive] guided visualization, either.
Lookers are OUT! If we are looking, we will not be concentrating on our poses (meaning
you will fall out of all your balancings). My theory is that the styled-on yoginis are presenting
glam image to women, not posing for men. I did get a little DVD of Natasha in a recent
issue of YJ, and she seems like a serious yogini, not just a hairstyle in a leotard.
I don't know anything about the other ones, beyond what I see in advertisements. Further,
looks alone will inevitably leave you unsatisfied --- in yoga or in whatever it is you hope to
gain by looking. Nope, nope, no way. Gotta start with the knowledge and ability, and
if looks happen to accompany those, well, you have the opportunity to work on your
DRISHTI instead, am I right?
N-E-way, the driver for IJYM is that it has to provide all us men with a doorway
through which we can leave all the sh!t that gets men down. So how does that fit into this?

| I have Natasha Rizopolos DVDs - and she is amazing. Incredible upper body strength. Pretty good instruction too.
Oh wait - my vote doesn't count.

| How could Twisti Kristi NOT want to model with me? You've seen her asana pictures--looks world class right? Now with me there, she'd look even better in comparison and be a shoo in to be be picked up for YJ--I'd be her stepping stone to fame and sacrifice myself for her dream--am I a yogi or WHAT? Totally altruistic. As far as partner poses--I'm with you boss--don't need 'em.
