Sharon Gannon "Take Responsibility"

[loveisthelaw20042004]

Asana is not yoga.

[loveisthelaw20042004]

I dont believe it is my duty as a yogi to teach people to live harmoniously. I think the truth is what is and a lie is what you want it to be. Not my job to save the world. Maybe survive and pick up the pieces of whats left.

What crap is she talking about!!

[MrCarlybundy]

of course it doesn't hurt to be a millionaire either - flexible or not

[boydpdx]

Cynicism and negativity are two of the greatest blocks to spriritual progress. They are clear demonstrations of the negative ego asserting it's "reality" that nothing is perfect, and you aren't good enough. Yoga is union with god, plain and simple. Live it.

[annainloved]

Staff is rude and sales oriented, pricey cafe and boutique and you have turned what is intended to be a spiritual practice into a circus. Yoga is intended to be a simple practice designed to tune the mind and body into quiet contemplation, with the end result being peace and harmony in the world and for all. Yoga is not about $100 yoga tops, $150 yoga pants, smoothies at $12 a shot and a sales pitch. It is obvious that you have forgotten the true meaning of yoga.

[MeEatEgg]

@annainloved It is obvious that you have spent little time there and truly got the full picture. It is easy to judge from outside and to have resentment or jealousy but the reality is that if we all live in this community (NYC especially) we will need substantial money to keep a business afloat and build a life that can afford one the opportunity to give back substantially. If you were up to great work you would spend more time doing it rather than complaining about what you dont know.

[claudelebel55]

doesn't sound very convincing ....

the real yoga has nothing to do with postures

the real question is do you know who you are ?

[franbenleb]

yoga is an excellent way to relax your whole body because is like a very deep tissue massage using different postures and breathing. This leads inevitably to a deep relaxation of the mind and to an experience of inner peace and wellbeing. The crap thing is that most yogis believe that this is what life is about. Let us all be relaxed and "happy". Nice fairy tale

[cspace1234nz]

Oh crap !

Yoga is just a pseudo-spiritual gym alternative with a whole bunch of fluffy philosophical ideas like the ones this woman is sharing.

Call it what it is, it's a dressed up money making venture.

[stellasdaddyful]

@cspace1234nz most things are dressed up money making ventures, hamburgers and coca cola for instance, but you don't see much resistance to those devices. Call it what it is, it's still a better substitute than what many are currently into.
