I took a Yoga class at my gym the other day and I was so irritated by the teacher I needed to vent my frustrations! Yes, I believe Yoga is a spiritual practice. I believe one can probably spend a lifetime studying yoga and improving their practice both physically and spiritually. I have not made the choice to devote that kind of time to yoga. I take whimpy 60 minute classes at the gym in my spare time that help me focus on my breathing, alignment, and core strength. The other day I decided to try a new teacher and I was quite irritated when the first 10 minutes of class were spent with her explaining about how religious yoga is, the solstice, and random yogi Gods and Goddesses. We were already 15 minutes into class once we really started moving and even then we went into periodic childs poses while she told us random stories about how a Yogi God something or other rested and we were resting and renuing ourselves. I also want to note that this teacher had a fat ass and maybe if she spent more time NOT resting herself and lecturing and actually participating in poses....she would have a smaller ass and be more in touch with her inner spirituality!!!!!!
