You have really buff arms. Are you lifting? No just yoga. Wow yoga arms. Impressive. Where do you practice? I practice mostly at home, I do Ashtanga Yoga. Oh thats the yoga for 13 year old boys. Or at least that what all the teachers at the studio I go to say. That was my conversation from this morning. Ok I get it if you dont connect with or like Ashtanga Yoga but why go around spread stuff with the intention of putting another style of yoga down. If she had read it on the Internet thats one thing, but she said all her yoga teachers at the studio where she practices actually told her that. As a teacher of yoga I think its important to respect other styles. While its true that Krishnamacharyas yoga school in Mysore taught young Indian boys, Sri K. Pattabhi Jois being one of them, the full path of Ashtanga Yoga includes much more than asana. Not to mention that including women at all in yoga studies is a twentieth century revolution so how can we say what we should or shouldnt do based on what was historically intended for women? Guruji also recommended adjusting and modifying the postures as needed for each student in the traditional Mysore style method. Ashtanga yoga certainly is a demanding disciplined practice but thats no reason to put it down or dismiss it. ~ Kino Yoga
