Thanks for asking the important questions and for your comment on my post about yoga and body shame. I think you and I could have a very good, long conversation over a cup of tea one day!Mariannehttp://marianne-elliott.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11695025.post-85290155713576779352010-08-16T16:34:24.775-05:002010-08-16T16:34:24.775-05:00very nice!

All ages, shapes, and sizes to boot! You will also find our students are just as well mixed of the bunch because they probably feel comfortable and accepted. You will also find many of us don't care for Yoga Journal.

I'm beginning to embrace my utter roundness - so I don't read yoga journal (for that and many other reasons). <br /><br />And I am also frustrated with the philosophy of yoga being so ignored. <br /><br />Thanks for your honest words.Kimberleyhttp://feralcompass.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11695025.post-56649226652602566082010-08-15T09:47:00.422-05:002010-08-15T09:47:00.422-05:00true, svasti. like I said in "The Color of Y...true, svasti. like I said in "The Color of Yoga", there is the idea that yoga is religious which can be scary to devout Catholics or Jehovah's Witnesses like the women in the shelter where I teach.Linda-Samahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07664989345039365084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11695025.post-51861968007779807772010-08-15T03:30:27.596-05:002010-08-15T03:30:27.596-05:00Interesting question.

Still, our group IS predominately white. <br /><br />And most classes I attend are full of white/Asian students. Of course, they are also predominately female.<br /><br />It'd be awesome to do a cultural study on yoga - to understand the awareness Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11695025.post-55363495563827312772010-08-14T23:14:18.828-05:002010-08-14T23:14:18.828-05:00i really nejoy your blog, thanks for sharing so de...i really nejoy your blog, thanks for sharing so deep questionsAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05574865004096836980noreply@blogger.com
