You do not come across as having a deep understanding or respect of the subject matter.

Did someone who posted a video, wrote a book, drew a poster, Showed you some asanas, assist you in any way in making that discovery? Some people like to mention who or what type of info led them to the practice sort of as a form of polite gratitude. I was introduced to Ashtanga by a single mother who supplemented her other jobs by teaching at the Y. She also drove 90 minutes into NYC every Sunday at the crack of dawn to take primary with Eddie Stern at his shala. Oh and the ashtanga police is an invention that gets used to titilate people into reading your post. Bah.

Or maybe it is just a bunch of dumb girls worried about their ladyparts. Of course we could all continue voting pragmatically with our wallet, also called vote right live left. and let those gays, and those unions who gave us the 40 hour week and the right to attend a loved one's funeral, and those whining rape victims figure it out the Ayn Rand way. Plus maybe Krishna was just pulling Arjuna's chain.

I carry responsibility for having voted for Ralph Nader and contributing to the pox that infected my already vulnerable country for 8 years. As a mother of a young woman I cannot afford to make the purist choice again.

That's good that the military did not wait for orders from Obama and went ahead and did it what it thought best. Stupid me would have never figured out that's how it works, Maybe that's because I don't watch fox. But that would be like you being here on EJ looking for something to ruin your day.

Maybe you are borrowing the term yoga for marketing?

Poetry by an Ashtangi.

I don't think your very painful experience came out in writing as a particularly good fit compared to the other material which appears on EJ. Of course this is only my opinion and there might be many others that do not agree.
