Yoga - that was the weekend
Feb. 1st, 2004 11:54 amOkay so an hour before the class started yeserday my grandmother finally got arounf to doing what she promised well part of it and i got started on my yoga certification prossess.
the Block i started yeserday was Yogic Lifestyle and Philosophy
which means i had 3 hours of Yoga history 101 and then another 3 hours of Yogic Diet and Nutrition.
Yoga History 101 was you basic Hinduism class will alittle bit of pre vedic info tossed in for good measure - the rest of the class ws spent trying to get people to understand the diffence between Hinduism&Yoga and Yoga& streching
Yogic Diet and Nutrition
that was the most interesting class ever just to people watch - i was talking to people and they were simply apalled that - i would eat meat -
so after we got thought most of the lecture about why yogis eat the way that they do is to stimulate the frontal lobe of the brain and that eating meat simulates the reptillian brain and that is what a pure yogic lifestyle is trying to get away from .... the veggies almost grouped up and left ... Too Funny
that and 90% of a traditonal yogic diet i am alleric to - sooo oh well
How ever we did discover that meat does not impede meditiaon in anyway
Thank the gods taht that was the 1st and last Diet and Nutrition class i have
Now i just have to get thourgh nest weekend - 3 days of food i can't eat and am not allowed to bring other foods on the property - 12 hours of yoga on Saterday on veggies ? please -oh well
