I prefer the Greek Yoga, but the traditional Yoga is alright too. I also learned that it’s much better to buy the plain yoga, and add your own fruit and sweetener as the prepared stuff is loaded with sugar.

That’s about all I know about Yoga.

good one. Who loves ya baby? When I was racing, a lot of the team’s had physiologists and incorporated chiropractic, acupuncture and yoga and/or taichi. Along with diet and strength training and of course driving a zillion laps, it was an incredibly balanced routine, one that I continue today because it just makes me feel good. But yeah. I see the same s~~~ at my gym. And they’re so obviously trying to get attention just like a bitch. Smack em and say “what’s wrong with you?”

For in much wisdom is much grief, and he who increases knowledge increases sorrow.

i do yoga at home.
no carrying a mat in public.
no ‘look at me” bulls~~~.
.
it’s stretching.
feels great and gets you ready to rumble.
.
it’s not yoga that’s the problem,
it’s the ASSHOLE’S who want you to SEE that they do it.
ATTENTION WHORE’S .

Most guys today have turned into absolute f~~~ing slack jawed spineless pussies. The 2 brothers (ex mates) who i stupidly decided to see again after 13 long years were on queer as f~~~ water only diets and thought they were the bollocks and morally superior, yet they looked ill as f~~~ and I didn’t see the point. Especially as they were already stick thin. They had both turned into complete douche bags and would correct me or go anal as f~~~ if i threw an opinion onto the works. One of them thinks hes so cool because he smokes weed. What a sad c~~~.

I’ll f~~~ing speak my mind whenever i like. They were practically dictating to me that I should filter my speech and tip toe around their self indulgent mindset and i wasn’t having any of it. The c~~~ then wen on to character assassinate me and I left because there was nothing else to say to the 4 eyed hipster bell end anymore. I was gobsmacked at what a liberal lefty femninazi peice of s~~~ he had turned into. His brother had succumbed to the same s~~~ty mindset and kissed his ass in every debate we had.

F~~~ all these people. Light-weight, ball-less, gutless poofters engaged in a s~~~ storm of utter f~~~~~ry.

The premise of my post is primarily based on the general pretentious, yuppy attitude of todays men. Essentially they are making a SHOW out of what they are doing. Like the example I gave of the fake guy PRETENDING to be jogging…The guy going VEGETARIAN/VEGAN or whatever the f~~~ while stuffing his face with a 1,000 empty calories of bread. What’s the point of all that s~~~?

Sick of hearing how so many people are going vegan. “I’m a vegan”…. F~~~ing good for you, I’m gunna go make myself a nice greasy bacon sandwich, but I don’t ever feel the need to share it to the world. Its the pretentious announcement of their f~~~tard lifestyles that get on my nerves.

Or t~~~s ordering a big mac meal then having a diet coke. LOL.

Agree with Hitman on this one, YOGA is one of those things that you can do to prepare yourself or warm up and get you going, the problem is the people that they turn these things trendy, then it looses all purpose when that happens, yoga, tai-chi, meditation between other spiritual/physical exercises are mainly aimed at releasing stress and bad energy.

[Anonymous 6]

So you don’t advocate for DDPYoga???

[the roadParticipant 3125]

I don’t know. I think it’s kinda pussy s~~~ but I did see a friend turn his life around when he started doing yoga.

He was a drug addicted alcoholic and a f~~~ up. He got into yoga and used it as a crutch.

He seemed to turn his life around. He went clean and eventually became an instructor and volunteered his time to help children and the needy by teaching them meditation and all that s~~~ they do.

I respect that.

Yoga has been a positive game changer in my life. And I haven’t eaten meat in over a decade.

I’d like to see some of the muscle heads in the gym or tough guys at the bar just try and make it through some of the advanced routines I do.

I practice yoga consistently and am a vegetarian and yet I’m a competitive MMA fighter – so don’t even question my manhood.

With all due respect, some of you guys don’t have a f~~~ing clue.

[Zuberi TauParticipant 10606]

Yoga was just fine until the usual “culture vultures” got their hands on it!
Now we have “hot yoga” “naked yoga” and “beer yoga”. There is only one original yoga exercise.
The rest are counterfeits concocted by over privileged, sissified, culture vultures!

[AncientwisdomParticipant 6089]

To be clear – I think it’s fine if anyone does yoga.

What I dislike, is the charade, and show. I don’t like, men or anyone else for that matter, doing something simply for the attention-seeking/whoring aspect of it.

You’re going to exercise? Fine ‘n f~~~ing dandy! But don’t go parading around about it in your spandex f~~~ing pants and FAKE jog in front of me and flash me a FAKE smile…That guy is a complete fake, douche bag!

That is f~~~ing pathetic. Mental…F~~~ing…Midgets.

If any of you like stretching or yoga, cool with me. I don’t give a f~~~. I do give a f~~~ when others have the audacity and lack of mental fortitude to lack the realization, that one’s exercising or “vegan” diet or yoga/spiritual meditation, or whatever the fu$K the latest trend is, doesn’t amount to $hit to everyone else.

We. Simply. Don’t…Care…

Fu$k off and keep trying to keep up with the Joneses.

Want to exercise? Go ahead, but don’t make a fu$King show out of it, and do it ONLY for that reason. THAT is what I have a problem with.

Resident cynic.

S~~~, I should stay outta this thread. I actually am a big fan of yoga and meditation. Yoga feels fantastic. That said, there’s a yoga studio attached to my apartment and I never go. I do it at home in gym shorts and a Tshirt and my yoga instructor is YouTube lol.

I don’t get it though. Why is yoga pussification? Seems like a blue pill mentality to label yoga and meditation as feminine. So im not man enough?

I know that’s not what you meant, but still, your post seems very Alpha and blue pill to me.

You’re right, you do NOT get it. Read my post?

My problem isn’t with yoga itself, but the mentality of most men these days who do it; to be precise- doing it as a show and parading around about it.

I’m not sure how much clearer I can be in my articulation of these thoughts.

If you’re still confused, let me know.

I prefer Sky Yoga

Back loops, front loops, barrel rolls, etc while falling towards the Earth at terminal velocity.

[ManBearPigParticipant 103]

I gotcha brother. Didn’t see your latest reply till after I posted. I hope you work out your anger issues though, it’s obvious you have some. Quit worrying about other people and what makes them happy. Focus on yourself.

Not looking for a p~~~ing match. You get the last response if you want it.

That’s probably true and it’s for everyone who is serious about it. But a lot of guys will sign up for this stuff just to be around chicks. There’s a real athleticism to Yoga , no doubt about it.

But there are also Yoga crazy freaks running around wearing yoga pants who don’t even do it. And the video from ®MonkeyMind is an example that turns it into a silly novelty and a joke… with these womanatees on floor mats.

There are men who figure skate too. It’s an Olympic sport and there’ noting sissy about it. It’s all in the approach and why you’re into it in the first place.

I saw a fat woman in yoga pants at the market scouring through the sushi, picking up one container after another to see which one “looked better”. OK fine. But why can’t she be as critical of her OWN appearance?

That’s all.

If you keep doing what you've always done... you're gonna keep getting what you always got.

I’m not worried about other people. I’m bothered by other people who are worried about me!

Case in point is the guy PRETENDING to be jogging in front of me, with a: big, FAKE, smile. He is so worried about me, and what I think of him, that he has to put on a false pretense; which is total BS and the pointing out of which, was the original intention of my posting this topic.

“You get the last response if you want it.”

Last I checked this is a forum for a two-sided discussion. I welcome the discussion. Let’s not be passive aggressive and caddy about it – you don’t have to give me the “last response”. It’s not your gift to give, so don’t attempt to be gracious.

Discuss freely at your leisure.

@The Black Scorpion:
I’m kinda hoping you’re just not good at being ironic, but really?
You actually sound like you’re offended.
Please don’t get your panties in a twist if someone criticizes childish virtue-signaling behavior.
Haven’t you seen and heard all of the “I’m a vegetarian”, I’m into cross-fit”, I’m adopting black kids”, memes and jokes over the past couple of years? Get over yourself, lady.
You just stereotyped yourself to the subject matter in the most ridiculous way.
Please tell me you are trying to be funny.

For the record, yes. I have done yoga and I think it’s a good way to stretch and relax, etc.. I’ve even cut back drastically on meat, but I don’t promote myself and get all uppity about it. To each his own and whatever works for you, but keep it to yourself, bitches.

Ok, fair enough. Wasn’t trying to be passive aggressive, but I see how it came off that way.

My issue with your post is that it’s just negative, like so many other posts in this forum. I realize I’m new here, but it’s one of the things that turns me off to this community. A lot of guys here really are going their own way and just doing their own thing living it up in life, and I love that mentality. But then, there are posts like this, just bitching and complaining about the blue pill world.

It just seems like you’re angry, dude. Your original post has angry undertones to it, your replies have angry undertones to them, and you’re apparently so bothered about how other guys dress and the ways they work out or how they try to impress you or some girls that you have to post it here and bitch about it, hoping others will bitch right along with you.

Well, I personally don’t give a s~~~ what other men (or women) are doing, wearing, or how they work out. Not giving a s~~~ feels f~~~ing great, so the chances of me getting upset over guys in Yoga pants is pretty slim.

Since you’re so eager to keep this conversation going, I’m willing to hear you out if you’d like to keep trying to convince me to hate. It’s going to be an uphill battle though.

[CombatRollParticipant 2608]

After a long trail run or a good workout I like to stretch – but I’m not going to dress queer and go to a studio to do it.

Plus, girls in Yoga pants give me wood. I can’t stretch with a kickstand.

Don’t forget stand-up paddle board yoga. Anything less than HB7 in yoga pants should be jailed for no less than 30 days.
