It is very funny the twist thing takes on a thread when it reaches two pages long.

So I’ve been interested in yoga recently as a supplemental sort of workout. I’ve read that the right style can give you the sort of physique/strength results that a normal weight workout can’t. Has anyone had any experience with yoga? If so, what style and how did you like it? Any feedback would be great. [/quote]
yeah i have, twice a week at work. it’s REALLY ghey. good for flex, stretch and relax i guess if you don’t mind the ghey part. the girls aren’t even hot contrary to popular belief but more of the granola type.
i might do it once a week this fall. however i much prefer playing other sports as a supplemental activity.

You really, really need to get your ignorant head out of your ass and study Eastern religions.
- Yoga is a Hindu tradition. Hindus live primarily in India. With the exception of a tiny minority of India, mostly transplants from Nepal and Tibet, Buddhism is not practiced in India. So it doesn’t really relate to Yoga outside of milennia-plus old historical contexts.
- The fat laughing Buddha images comes from nations OTHER than India. Again, not nations where Yoga is big.
- In nations where the Buddha, Bodhisattvas, Jain saints, etc. are depicted as thin people with large bellies, the belly is a depiction of breath control associated with meditation, not fat.

I have enough studying bodybuilding, the guy wants to waste time with yoga, not becoming a buddhist. I accept my ignorance in that matter and don’t care who the hell the fat guy is.
That is exactly what my post try to say, the image that we asociate has nothing to do with the real fact. It is a mercadotecnical issue of yoga, not my fault.

anyway, yoga has the buda as central image: have you ever seen that guy: HE IS FAT! sedentary way of life, a couch potato glorified.
First off, it’s Buddha…not buda. Secondly, the fat image of Buddha is not the same as Siddh�?rtha Gautama, who is traditionally known as the Buddha. When he took up the monastic life he didn’t eat a lot since he had to go door to door begging for alms.
edit
Just noticed someone else pointed this out…oh well.
I apologize my spelling.
I am not so sure about his gut growing or not. I has been fat and made the mistake of not eating to (in my stupid opinion) reduce my weight. the result was insuline resistance with a gut larger than before, not to mention the muscle loss for lack of excercise. If I had continued that way, i certainly would look like the guy posted above. no matter how my name were. fat: body trying to warranty subsistance in no food/excess conditions.[/quote]
haha. ‘not a lot’ by today’s standards and those 3000 years ago are quite different.
yoga is great for your back…plus, the more you relax physically, the more relaxed you become mentally.
