Gluminal: February 2020

The younger woman told me -- again, unsolicited and her words, not mine -- that I was old-fashioned. One woman told me that she was glad she found my class -- this woman is older like me, I would say in her 50s. She told me she was glad she found a "real yoga" class -- her words, not mine, unsolicited. I found the exchange interesting. Geez, M'Liss should have shoplifted herself some pants because that dress barely covers her assets. Changes have already begun by my signing up for a training in teaching yoga to trauma survivors. In spite of knowing nothing about yoga other than it was supposed to help calm her down, she somehow knew she wanted to take a "real yoga" class. But perhaps the markers help point out the stitches, making the photos easier to understand? Out of the mouths of students. She was dismayed at the lack of commitment from the drop-in students. The second woman, younger, main 30s maybe, was also dismayed at the lack of students in my class. Despite how "mainstream" yoga people love to believe yoga is nowadays -- and I would really like someone to explain to me what mainstream is -- the number of students in class is diminishing.



I cried, I was pained, I was frustrated, I laugh and I fell in love but I don't want it any other way. It was strange, after nearly twenty years, we could tell each other stuff about the other from way back when, like knowing that he grew up next to Flora's grandparents in an Coonawarra town, that my birthday was in August, his in October, and that I came from Myponga - that I used to have an old, green EJ Holden and worked at the local department store on Friday nights and weekends. That is why my seva is at my local domestic violence shelter for almost 10 years now. She said that yoga right now is trendy and popular, it's merely "the thing to do", main just another fitness trend. According to my student then, "mainstream" merely means "popular." But is popular always a good thing? The system drives have been set as source partitions by default in step 1.

We are on track to start school the 24th. I am still very upset with the options available but at least I know Little Buddy will be watched closely. The dumbbells should start just below your knees. I shrugged. I have no answers anymore to questions about yoga in OMerika. She asked why students feel that a yoga class is supposed to be convenient for them, instead of making it a priority like anything else in their lives. I asked her what she thinks "mainstream yoga" is. I was asked to take over this class to try to build it back up -- I had heard that the class had too many subs and people had stopped coming. 3c: The needle is drawn out through the top of the blue stitch, and next inserted from the back to the front under BOTH arms of first stitch bound off (green). There were plenty of rocks to avoid and some sand and dirt on top of the snow.



Your thoracic spine often gets hunched at the top because of the pull on your neck and shoulders and these muscles trying to balance the body. The last thirds involved a lot of chasing between Ivan and Malone; the chases were fine, its just as good as any other climatic cat-and-mouse scenes I've seen but it gets tiring eventually albeit some good stunts, mulling over the fact that so much of its running time could have been given to more memorable sequences or gory deaths. Our immediate welcome is overwhelming, the children shower us with hugs, our spouse is full of love; it feels good to be home. She told me that there is plenty of yoga around her house but it is the "fast food yoga", as she calls it, and will have none of it. Sure you can survive on a diet of fast food, but how healthy is it for you in the long run? She believes that people are so used to moving fast in their daily lives, that that is the type of yoga people want instead of yoga to slow them down, to go inward. I have had more than a few experiences in India that some call "shakti blasts" and they are impossible to explain unless you have felt them.



I have been told by more than a few spiritual adepts and most recently by the jyotish in India that I am destined for great things, things I will not write about because they would be misread as being egotisical and indeed, impossible. This student also believes that with the popularity of yoga nowadays, the sheer number of yoga classes being offered outside of yoga studios (her emphasis) actually devalues yoga and cheapens the real message of yoga, which is personal transformation. This student lives in a suburb that is far from my class. The next time I return to India it will not be as a student. She had been coming to this venue for yoga for a long time and told me the class used to have about 20-30 students in it. Last night in class I only had two students. So since it was a loosey-goosey class, we yakked for the first 30 minutes, me and my two students about the State of Yoga in America. Currently, the two button single breasted with a more tailored silhouette is standard, with the younger generation opting for what is known as a bum freezer.
