Yeah. I’m really, really trying to change yoga culture so that our work is more professional.

That’s wonderful and so refreshing to hear. I think that’s just it exactly — most people aren’t educated enough to realize that they don’t know what they don’t know, so reaffirming scope of practice is a brilliant way of asserting those boundaries.
As a yoga teacher, I agree entirely.
Engineer broccoli to be 80% bacon! Call it the broccbac. Then pile it up.
Nope. Sorry. GMOs are designed to work better *in conjunction with* pesticides, and many are created to be resistant to the pests, diseases and related issues that require pesticide use. In addition, the pesticides used in modern conventional farming are substantially less toxic than those used in ‘organic’ farming…
After thinking about it, I am disagreeing with my own statement a bit here: the problem isn’t politicization, it’s that superficial, vapid and intellectually lazy people have taken over these discussions.
Right?!!!! I have a bipolar brother who is a recovering addict and I take antidepressants to help with my migraines, neither of us would be doing well if we just threw away our meds. Both of us would probably have hurt ourselves by now.
And these white people need to gtfo thailand. YES I KNOW tourism is good for local economy! but fuck that, stay in your country.
Unlike Black Twitter.
Shhhh, it’s okay. Come sit by me. We can snack on hummus and snark at the Food Babe together.
Lord... I follow a Yoga group on FB near my area and just last week they posted a meme with photos o nature and pills “This is an antidepressant” (the forest) “This is just shit” (the meds).

Counterpoint:
I feel this way about lots of yoga communities too. As a long-time yoga teacher some of my best friends are yoga teachers and the ignorance can be astounding. Like, I love these people, but we cannot have conversations about things like vaccinations and climate change because they just don’t fucking get it.
No fucking shit. Who are these fucking weirdo white people with so much time to kill?!
100% agree. I’m in the same boat as you. This dumb shit above is what gets attention and it sucks so hard. DAE is also frustrating
I literally can’t even finish reading this article because it makes me so mad. These fucking idiots (suggesting a girl could have lived if she ate raw vegan instead of going through chemo?!) make me so mad, and make me ashamed to be vegetarian-bordering-on-vegan. It’s so annoying being part of a community whose…
Isn’t it bizarre when you wind up in a little corner of the internet acting like a sleuth and trying to dissect drama that’s none of your business?? For a few weeks I was in this rabbit hole of some girl on tumblr who would beg for money and it turned out she just used it all on drugs and not her medical issues and…
