The average yoga class has three women for every guy.
You can’t beat that.
Everyone seems to be nice in yoga. It’s a warm supportive non-judgmental environment.
People bliss out.
Women in yoga are vulnerable physically, socially and spiritually. Because it is a safe place, they have their defenses down. They say hi in a friendly way that they would not employ at a bar or on the street.
Don’t try hard to pick up chicks. Just be your best highest self. Explain that this is your first day/week/month in yoga and how you are eager to grow physically and spiritually. Chicks dig that kind of talk. Become hip to energy talk and chakra talk and bling bling about old souls. Drink the yogic tea and put your hand on your heart and greet everyone with a genuine "Satnam!"
Moses would want you to.
I brought Joey Kurtzman with me Monday night. He emails: "Hey, the class was awesome, I got worn out toward the end, which is good. Guru Singh really focused on limbering down the hamstrings and calves, which are my least limber muscles, so I’ve been working on that ever since. I’m definitely looking forward to next Tuesday, and might go again this upcoming Monday."
Folk theories are assumptions or "common sense" things that people generally believe to be true. Over at Guruphiliac, my pal Jody Radzik presents a list of folk theories that he’s identified in guru-based spirituality and invites readers to contribute their own. It’s fun to see how folk theories can be used to get people to "buy in" (often literally) to almost any bullshit. Here are a few tools Jody says are in any "flimflamming, big-time guru’s" box:
• The folk theory of everything being connected
• The folk theory of ancient wisdom
• The folk theory of holiness
• The folk theory of sex being a loss to the spirit
• The folk theory of harmful technology
• The folk theory that only the heart knows what is true
