I have to admit that I do try to be nice about other people's yoga obsessions... I really do. I get that people get religious about their yoga, but I have been getting more and more annoyed with the hot yoga fanatics - there are more and more injuries that result from this form of yoga and more and more people who crow about it. It makes me sad and a little angry because I've seen people rip hamstring muscles, throw up, faint and generally have a really bad experience doing yoga this way.
So try a little tenderness. Try some Type B yoga. Sit on the mat. Breath. Stretch. Do poses mindfully and slowly. Hold them long enough that you can tell what's happening. Be in your body; watch your own reactions. It's not supposed to hurt; it's not supposed to move so quickly that you can't ground your experience. Be mindful; have fun; relax.
