Guru Patsy

Patricia says:
yoga will help that
Patricia says:
I hope the instructor is good
Jessica says:
that's what I hope. She is good
Jessica says:
it isn't hippy dippy new ageyness
Jessica says:
she keeps you VERY focused on the breath
Patricia says:
I like a little new ageyness!
Jessica says:
i like the music
Patricia says:
well that'll do it
Jessica says:
i don't like chanting in sanskrit
Patricia says:
never done it
Patricia says:
but I might dig it
Patricia says:
om
Jessica says:
between that and the athlete's foot I got from their mat, I didn't go back
Patricia says:
gross
Jessica says:
yeah. so gross
Jessica says:
the place was in Barrington. the people there were the lobotomized new age type.
Jessica says:
like the oms, but being handed a card and being asked to pray felt wrong
Patricia says:
yeah, no thanks
Jessica says:
no one said, here's what we do, here's why we do it
Patricia says:
Cinde goes to crazy sun dances with the Sioux out west
Patricia says:
and she is tattooed
Jessica says:
that's awesome
Patricia says:
definitely not the goofy new age type


Jessica says:
i like a little new age myself, but within reason
Patricia says:
exactly
Jessica says:
i want a good workout that is ergonomically correct. I do not want to appropriate cultural practices totally out of context
Patricia says:
btw I only want to appropriate them slightly out of context
Patricia says:
bwah ha ha
Patricia says:
sorry
Jessica says:
well, it is slightly out of context. I like to think of yoga as a Western workout routine that is inspired by ancient Sanskrit whatever. It feels amazing and is great for my health. Beyond that, if I'm going to appropriate something I want to know what it means.
Patricia says:
I agree
Patricia says:
the physicality translates, but the religion part doesn't need to
Jessica says:
definitely. I feel like a got a deep tissue massage in all of my deep tissues
Patricia says:
it balances my moods, definitely, which feels spiritual'
Patricia says:
nice
Patricia says:
that is key
Jessica says:
i was a dork last night
Patricia says:
endorphins!!!
Jessica says:
Poor Amity. She was just a little dark raincloud
Patricia says:
she needs a yoga class
Jessica says:
that's what I said
Jessica says:
She's heading to the tropics instead
Patricia says:
that might also do it
Jessica says:
i'd concur
