| I promise ~ I shan't start a verbal political brawl in the Savasana thread. (My life is loaded with anti-W people. After the first couple of years, I learned to let the insults go in one ear and out the other.  ) | |||

Bruce - 2005-04-21 10:18 AM I used to have anti-W folks in my life; most have moved on... I'm in a Blue state (IL - NW suburbs of Chicago), so I'm terribly outnumbered. I was invited to watch the returns on Election night with everyone at the Cook County Clerk's office (deep in Richard J. Daley territory), but I had to stay home with the kids. Good thing too ~ I think they would have killed me.  *thinks* Maybe that was their plan all along...  | |||

tigrsunam - 2005-04-21 3:30 PM A SAVASASANA thread turned POLITICAL. Talk about the most un-relaxing, tension building topic. My heart-rate spiked reading through the posts. I participate regularly on a political message board. After a while, you get used to others' opinions (no matter how whacky  ), and you find you can discuss even the touchiest of issues without so much as blinking twice. And I agree wholeheartedly ~ yoga would do Capitol Hill some good. | |||

Oh my God CGG, BushYoga is hysterical!  So far, my fav: http://www.bushyoga.com/big-poses/virabhadrasana_ii.jpg I'll have to post this on the Crossfire board ~ they'll love it. (Giving you full credit, of course.) Edited by Kabu 2005-04-21 4:54 PM | |||

tigrsunam - 2005-04-21 5:07 PM I get way to involved...taking politics WAY to personally at times. I understand. I think everyone is that way initially. At first, I was quite shocked by what some people said and/or assumed about each other. I remember thinking, "Why in God's name would anyone come here (the political message board) willingly?!" After some time, I noticed my own temper had evened out to the point where I could discuss a topic like homosexuality with a Christian Fundamentalist without much in the way of fireworks. (Just had that discussion today actually...again ) Once you get to know people beyond their political beliefs, you realize we really aren't all that different. And you learn how to disagree with taking offense or getting personal. Take heart. I think the Dems on the Hill learned something from this last election. They may serve up a winning team in 2008. | |||

Kabu - 2005-04-21 4:53 PM Oh my God CGG, BushYoga is hysterical! Thanks. I found that site while doing a google search for a good illustration of Downward Dog. Of course it wasn't at all what I had in mind, but I couldn't stop laughing. | |||

Expert Yogi Posts: 5098 Location: Somewhere in the Mountains of Western NC | I liked Carlos Santana's suggestion on the presidnent thing. He said something to the effect that there should be more than one woman as president, representing all the major continents of the world. That way there would be a broader perspective in our relations with other countries, etc. So, having 6 or 7 women as president wouldn't be a bad idea, it time for men to step aside and let us rule our "Queendom", the macho male energies has mucked it up for too long and somebody has to set it straight! Besides, there are more women in the world and we may be close to that reality sooner than you think. Seriously, my personal choice would be that there should have never been any Republicans, Democratics or Liberals - that keeps us all seperated and apart..we need UNITY!! Why can't we have a person who is perfectly balanced...Oh, I forgot they don't elect any Swami's or Sadhguru's do they? I've always thought H.H. Dalai Lama was a great choice for President | ||

Cyndi - 2005-04-21 5:25 PM Bruce and Kabu, Youins would love it here in my neck of the woods - youins would fit right in! Cyndi - who is surrounding by GWB lovers and who's hoping one day they will see the light Cindy, that would what, be about 53% of the country? Personally I think a little more compromise would be helpful from both sides. And a lot less invention from Judges who want to be ruled more by sentiment than sound legal principals. Of course yoga is open to those from both red states and blue. Edited by MrD 2005-04-21 8:06 PM | |||

jeansyoga - 2005-04-21 9:38 AM Wow, a bunch of savasana-loving Dubya-haters - Bruce, this is just not your forum, is it? Just wanted to say I tried out that "continuous breath" savasana technique on a class last night and they SUPERLOVED it!!! After grimacing and sweating through the whole rest of the class, more than half of them came up to me afterward and told me they were sooo relaxed and they needed that so badly. Awesome! It made my day! Thanks for the tips, expert yogis & yoginis! Yeah, I found it to be an amazing technique. One of the studios I go to now winds down in two stage. The first is sitting in lotus or easy sitting position for a couple of minutes then lying down for normal Relaxation Pose. | |||

| WHAT HAVE I DONE??!! Politics here with my savasana advice... Perhaps I should sneak in some subliminal liberal messages while I lead savasana on Tuesday. I'll use my smooth calming voice (as in Alice's "radio voice" from the L Word - fans of the show will get that reference). I wonder what my final exam grade would be if I did...  | |||
