Last night at yoga class, we were doing jumping handstand prep and I decided to give my wrists a much-needed break by taking child's pose. The guy on the next mat over looked at me and said, "Aww, is this your first time?"
Excuse me? I have been doing yoga for 2 years, thankyouverymuch. I was a bit annoyed until I remembered that yoga is not about competition or anyone else but you. It doesn't seem that way though. These days, it's like everyone is trying to bend themselves as far as the next person, more concerned with having a tight butt than peace of mind.
I found this article on the subject, and liked how it summed up the spirituality behind yoga. Check it out if you get a chance and let me know what you think. Are you a competitive yogi?
