I don’t know what it means, but twice now there were more MEN than WOMEN in Tuesday Night’s Yoga Class at Satya Yoga. And I’m not even wearing low cut tops! Kudos to the: Writer, Orthopedic Surgeon, Sanskrit Professor, Teacher Trainee, Super Yogi, Zen Arborist and the High School Student who attend regularly. You are much appreciated. Go Dutchess County!
Kudos also to the Woodstock Men, you were remembered as well: Furniture Designer, Therapist, Photographer, Buddhist Psychiatrist, Scientist, Architect (x3), Carpenters. YAY MEN!
The “Feminization of Yoga” is an interesting phenomenon. Yogis were traditionally men. What is happening to the science of yoga with all of us women teaching? Shakti yes, but what else? I don’t have a full answer. Are we women ‘teaching like men’ or has the whole idea of ‘what yoga is’ changed? Totally open for comment.
I think you all know by now about the ‘psycho 21 pit-bull dog hoarder neighbor’ that I had to deal with last summer. If not, sometime I’ll tell you the long drawn-out story. (The link above is an adjunct horror story about the same person.) It isn’t pretty. If you want to HELP STOP THIS MADNESS, and more like it out there, please sponsor my brother-in-law, David Lytle, who works for the Oregon Humane Society. It seems there are even MORE hoarders out in that part of the states. ?!? I just don’t get it. He has a really great video. Please sponsor him with $10 for the Doggie Dash 2010 and put WOODSTOCK YOGA next to your name. That way he’ll be the coolest Doggie Dasher out there! PS, he likes the Grateful Dead, so he’s an honorary Woodstocker.
It is becoming known among musicians from India that there is a core group of devoted and artistic listeners here. Some artists who are accustomed to large halls and large concert fees are now coming to perform in the intimate confines of Woodstock because of the people who come out to hear them and the reputation that Woodstock has as a music town. Tejendra Majumdar is one such artist. A concert by him is a special event anywhere in the world. (more…)
OMG, how did I get this!?! I just found a copy of the B.K.S. Iyengar yoga rarity Sparks of Divinity in my 1000s of books up here by my desk! Here is a review of the book by Judith Lasater, from Yoga Journal, 1976 http://bit.ly/dmJgN7
This book is totally out of print. It is a compilation of BKS Iyengars sayings from 1959-1975.
I will Tweet/FaceBook a quote daily from it. Lucky us!
The first one in the book:
Enjoy in all you do, then you feel you are free from the self.
B.K.S. Iyengar, 1959, Sparks of Divinity.
