"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 that's 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 don't 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 that's 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 it's important to respect other styles. ?
While it's true that Krishnamacharya's 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 shouldn't 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 that's no reason to put it down or dismiss it. ?
Sorry for the rant! But this pushed my buttons today. Share your thoughts below. Is Ashtanga Yoga only for adolescent boys or is it a lifelong spiritual practice?
