In a society where people are proving to be more health conscience than ever, newer and more advanced combination of exercise and nutrition are being created. A large following of "Yogis" are interested in a cleaner and healthier planet, body, and kitchen. Although a more nutritious diet is common for many Yogis, it is becoming increasingly more acceptable to eat meat, eat fatty foods, drink alcohol and still be tolerated in the Yoga Community. Years ago, yoga was strictly for vegans who are oftentimes found to be astrue. Mary Taylor, a Yoga teacher in Colorado, is teaching her students that it is acceptable and healthy for them to talk about food and cooking while preforming yoga. Yoga should be anything that is relaxing that opens one's senses. Chefs and yoga teachers are similar in that they take everyday actions such as eating and moving and slow them down for people to fully appreciate them. Yoga is one of my rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Each day I do it, I feel even more alive and happy.

I would agree with Lauren.Yoga has only been in this country for about 90 years. However, it has been around for thousands of years and is much more than just stretching and holding a "weird" position for as long as you can. In some forms of yoga there is a science to it. It involves the three things that make up humans; mind, body, and soul, and it brings them all together.
ReplyDeleteI have no interest in yoga whatsoever. I've always felt it looked boring and thought there were much better ways to stay in shape. But, that's just my opinion and what's great is my opinion can't affect your right to do what you enjoy. So keep pursuing what makes you happy haha.
