I second Shiva Rea, but can we tell the "Lookers"  that classes can't be "girlie"? I mean, if it's going to be Iron John Yoga, I want a "real" class - one where I sweat, not glow. Oh, sorry, I forgot... It's Iron John Yoga... not for chicks.. sigh... are you going to have a "He Man Woman Haters Club" sign on the door to the IJY studio?

| ::snicker:: bay guy, i am liking you more and more.  dee Bay Guy - 2005-03-20 7:59 AM What does that have to do with anything? You, Bobobob, need to practice an asana to help you suppress your juvenile impulses. Try this: 1. Obtain the assistance of a willing roll of duct tape. 2. Be in Sukhasana. 3. Extend the roll of tape approximately 1 meter, and cut this section free. 4. Wrap the tape around the lower part of the head, across the mouth. Take care not to cover the nostrils. 5. As the lips are firmly sealed, the urge to spout nonsense will be controlled. 6. Put hands palms down on the floor, with fingertips beneath hips. 7. Sit in this posture until you grow up. This posture is best performed while sitting in a corner facing the wall. Some practitioners will wear a cone-shaped white paper hat while so seated. One must have no need for this asana in order to enter the proper practice of Iron John Yoga. | |||

Oh, Melissa, you've completely misunderstood the purposes of Iron John Yoga. It's here because yoga needs a vehicle to address men's issues. There's no "woman hating" involved, and, in fact, we have special asanas for woman haters (like the one I gave to Bobobob above), so that they'll overcome the insecurities that make them interact badly with women. It's not He-Man yoga, either: we already have Bikram for that. | ||

| Bad Guy, Everyone I listed is of National Stature. I used More Experienced as a categtory because they have been doing yoga for many years, but also because they are not in their 30's. Every single one of them has solid yoga credentials. That's how they get to be nationally popular. Many of them appear regularly at Yoga Journal Conferences. You can't get a better reference than that, right?  | |||

Expert Yogi Posts: 2479 Location: A Blue State | MrD - 2005-03-18 12:44 PM Bad Guy, Everyone I listed.........? To quote Bill Clinton: " Huh? What'd I do? " I just said we ain't picking our guru on the basis of looks. If looks come with the credentials, we'll make a big deal out of drishti points, so that people pay attention to their yoga. Also, remember -- alotta these guys are attached, and their S.O. won't let em go to yoga if they get jealous of the teacher, am I right? | ||

Thought I had better join in here since you guys were talking about me  Sorry about the delay......... Bruce - 2005-03-18 7:05 AM 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. Thanks for the nomination there Brucey.... and very kind of you to offer your services for the sake of my career! *turns to the others and whispers* should I be scared!?

Shame, now I'll never have the pleasure of reading Bobobob's posting.  And what's that no-lookers-business going on here? I was just about to nominate the infamous Rainbeau Mars as guru when I read those comments. I slowly feel that I'm not man enough for Iron John Yoga. I like savasana, I like gentle yoga and I definately love to look at bendy female teacher hotties (maybe I am a real man after all, even too much of a man for IJY?).

I think that Jean summed it all up.... Too much or not enough of a man for Iron John Yoga.... ...ah, we are missing a definition of Man (note Man, not man). Please define what you mean by Man. | ||

Bay Guy - 2005-03-19 4:46 AM Please define what you mean by Man. Man (defined by the example of a certain character named Stefan): A slightly debilitated huMan being, kinda similar to real humans but with dimished brain capacity. Always about to bravely face every upcoming challenge, like learning to walk upright and stuff. Knows neither fear nor pain but turns into a cry-baby when he cuts himself with the razor. Easily aroused, capable of at least three different feelings (hungry, thirsty, horny), lots of (hidden) sex appeal, true as a dog, funny, powerfull, seriously lacks communication and other useless social skills, can read a road-map, unable to express his appreciation for his own wife, falls drunk in the river. Man generally make better comedians than women, know more jokes and have more impressive collections of sex-toys, model airplanes, bikes and cars. I could tell you 1000 more definitions ..... if I only knew any. Jean, with that flyer you'll get them! The canny use of the term "Power" most likely strings a chord in those muscle types. | |||

| Jean, Your add reminds me of the time we had a high school wrestling team come into a power yoga class we had at our gym once. It was just before the state regional meet and these guys thought that they were in top shape. Boy were they in for a surprize. It was a power class, and of course sun salutations swamped them right away. Most of them couldn't even touch their toes. It was an interesting attitude shift. Come in Arrogant, leave exhausted and humbled.  You might also want to mention once they get in that yoga can get guys ripped. They don't want to hear about Long lean muscle. They want to know if they will get defininition. Since we put on muscle better than women, Men definitely increase muscle mass when they do power yoga. Personally, I put on about 15 pounds of lean body mass within 8 months of starting Yoga. I finally joined the local Ashtanga Studio. DAAANG, they move fast. Up down, Vinyassa here, Sun Salutation there, and arm balances galore. Edited by MrD 2005-03-19 10:42 AM | |||

Expert Yogi Posts: 2479 Location: A Blue State | Uh-oh ---- we've got competition. Did anyone file the copyright forms? Check this out --- from Kripalu's catalog: Boot Camp for Gods For men. Who is the 21st-century man? What is expected of him? What is his role in a changing world? How can he practice spiritual warriorship? The answers are unique for each man, lying within, waiting only for your recognition. Come discover, embrace, and honor your truth as a man. These five life-changing days include a one-day vision quest, a warrior obstacle course, sweat lodges, drum circles, and tepee ceremonies, as well as archery, hiking, and swimming. There will also be frank discussions, a talk on men’s health by medical doctor, delicious meals, relaxation, and more. Topics and challenges we will explore this week include: Sex, sensuality, sports, and success—yoga postures on and off the mat that produce results Money—the promise, the power, and the price Ego trips—the outdated belief systems that perpetuate them Fear of death and your mortality—how they affect your daily decisions Tension, stress, and anxiety—how they serve you, how to let the rest go The heart—removing the emotional armor that shields men from their greatest asset As a result of this weekend you will experience increased strength, suppleness, stamina, and flexibility in all four bodies—physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. There’s a bold, beautiful God within. Come meet him. Note Bring hiking boots and a drum if you have one. Why didn't we think of drums? And Teepees? And archery and an obstacle course? Didn't any of you go to summer camp? Auugh!!!  | ||

Expert Yogi Posts: 8442   | But I don't see yoga mentioned anywhere so I think you Iron Johns are still ahead of the game  And what the heck is a one day vision quest? One day isn't even enough time to do a decent shoe shopping quest - what if you don't get your vision within the time limit? | ||
