Mars In Leo strikes again…As you know, the planet of aggro, lust and competitive drive is in show-offy, golden Leo until middle of 2010. That’s a long time for Mars to spend in such a brazen sign. And so now….this! Competitive Yoga is becoming the thing in the U.S.A., sending those who believe the last thing yoga should be is competitive, into a towering frenzy.

now competitive yoga is the stupidest thing I have read about today! But, not surprising as we compete to open chip packets as humans!
-
Isn’t this just contortion….
I did acrobatics & for years worked on different postures to stretch & ultimately contort but it is harrrd. There are peeps out there who are naturally able to contort & surely that would win them a gold medal in this sport…
-
Wow, I certainly hope he has good insurance! He’s playing with fire right there big time.
Pisces used to lay face down on the floor and I would start from his feet and walk up his body. Then with one carefully placed foot, pop his back under his scapulas. Did his neck with my hands a few times but drew the line really. I am not a Chiro even though doing massage have worked with them for almost twenty years.
Also popped the ex Cancers back with my feet. But mid back only. Not low back or neck.
Did a yoga class at the gym one time….ten years ago after my back surgeries and not flexible at that point at all, and the teacher was making reference to someone needing to be a “show off”. Guess it’s been going on but now exacerbated by Mars in Leo?….

) -
Barista, well done on studying next year. Go gettem girl. Remember change muscles to move bones… Hope you really enjoy it. The world needs more ppl like you and WAY less knob-heads like that one above.
The Effing Scientologists are at it again peddling their deluded sh*te to kids in Australian schools now under the guise of a DVD on “Human Rights”. Can never tell it straight can they?. The gist of the DVD is that old L.Ron is a human rights activist right up there with Ghandi et al.!!!!! Jaysus Effing Chri*st. HOW do we let this happen? Its beyond me.
But back to you Barista… Good work. Go well.
-
If the Scientologists hijacked yoga, the above pic is what it would look like.
Yes, baristagem, good luck!
-
-
Fab Barista … there’s a bit of career change in the air with us lot lately isn’t there? Hope it works out for ya … does being a chiro mean you will become all anti-caffeine in the future?
-
Haha, I am hoping it is just what chiro’s tell us but secretly they are hiding out in underground coffee houses sipping espressos…
Thanks Prowln! x-
I wouldn’t be surprised after all the fitness industry/naturopath types I have met who smoke and drink!!!
-
-
-
well done Baristagem!!
-
Haha, yes some actually do but not me, coffee is my vice.
Thanks scorpalicious x

SP, you didn’t mention tht you are petit ass i have gathered you are.
It can only be done by someone not over 50kilos, even that weight be dangerous,
but jeez don’t it feel good
-
That was meant to read petite as……hahah, came out as little bottom!
-
Am medium size and build Pegs but he 6′2 200 lb. He needed to be walked all over anyway since I’d been
I’ve since mended my ways. No walking all over men unless they truly deserve it (and I mean that in both ways!)
-

-
-
look at the horrified face of the chick in red !
-
Maybe someone should wake the guy up behind her…. or is that his last victim..
Oh & I love how all the men get to sit around in their reg grundies while the women are in gym gear, fuq that I would stripping down!
-
-
Don’t you love the headband and wittle pony tail. Im sure there are some leos who would have something to say about that style. The Bikram guy is a true scammer. Trying to copyright yoga postures is like pharma co.s trying to copyright genes.
Fuq I despise people like that.-
Can’t trust mainstream can you?
Another ‘Look what they have done to my song, Ma’.-
Tantra is not about sex either.
-
everything is about sex Peg
-
the more i know about men, the more i realise that they truly believe that .
nothing personal dave’l..hit a nerve thats all -
UP, it’s okay. I took a break from dating…The whole shebang since got tired of feeling like a piece of prey meat. Davey kidding anyhow…He’s not a creep like some out there…But do know about the “nerve thing” as been through it.
-
and sex is about everything. its the palindrome of our lives. sorry UP, I would never like to say anything to upset you x I much prefer to make you laugh
Now, about that nerve it struck ? it wouldn’t be connected to some dumb bull ? Out with it. -
crikey I had to look up palindrome and then read the sentence a few times lol!!
-
the sentence with the one you began up above…A real puzzle there….Sneaky, but good!! snap/check and all of that aussie ‘tude
-
ah you got me davo. yeah the dumb bull. man for someone who is so unworthy of my time and mental energy, he sure takes up a lot of it still. my own fault. I have now put an end to things again, this time got nothing left for him so i reckon is truly finito. i’ve said no contact til xmas/ hanukkah / 2010…i am trying not to break my own rules… *S
SP thanks (again!!) i know our man DL usually has a cheeky aries glint in his eye as he types these things
-
Ha, that USED to e MY line
-
Peg? I would love to know your opinion as (I think) a sex therapist (?)…does it really all boil down to shagging? if not, what does? can you share some of your philoshophy …I am genuinely interested in your profesisonal opinion here… x hope this isn’t too off topic
-
Dear U*P*, I know you didn’t ask my opinion and I am sure that Pegasus will answer your query with her full wisdom… but for what it is worth from my perspective, the answer to your question is “No, It Most Certainly Does Not All Boil Down to Shagging”! Life is so much more complex, deep, multi-dimensional, joyful and profound than mere rooting, as enjoyable as it is! This is no place to theorise about mixing love up with sex, but suffice to say that I think you might be feeling a bit betrayed at the moment. A bit (lot) let down & disappointed by an essentially good man (?) who is failing to grasp the lessons he needs to learn and failing to step up to the plate as you would dearly love him to. Or maybe he is on the journey he needs to take and you must continue on your own for now?
Sorry if I am way off the mark here UP. I’m running on intuition and sense that you have been through the ringer a bit lately about this Taurean bloke. Can I suggest a couple of things that might help bring perspective?
* when people fail to meet our expectations we feel hurt. This is normal. What can help is to look at whether we were over-loading that person or relationship with too many of our own projections, desires, dreams and other assorted expectations. This shifts the power back to ourselves, the only thing that we have any control over. I’ve mentioned it here many times before but “Intimacy & Solitude” is a wonderful book for un-knotting what we bring to a relationship from what the other person is bringing (or failing to bring) to it. Only when we can see what is ours and what is not, can we make some progress in our own lives and our own growth.
* of course shagging is a wonderful PART of life, but it is just one part and just one area of ourselves that we express. And this changes & fluctuates all the time. I know it seems like the best drug in the world when you are not getting any, or you are trying to avoid something important, or you are feeling insecure about whether you are lovable or not (entirely different issue to sex btw) or you are consumed with jealousy that the person you want to be shagging you is out there shagging someone else. It rips right at our basic human feelings of abandonment, betrayal and our desire to be loved. We can easily become obsessed about ‘it’. None of those feelings in themselves will help you to move through this and learn what you have to learn. If you like books, and would like an interesting perspective on sex and self-mastery try “Passionate Marriage” by David Schnarch. Not for the feint-hearted and a bit American in tone, but it is an interesting approach to sexual issues and responsibility for our own growth. Nice bit about spirituality tucked away at the back too.
Good idea to cut communications from the Taurus for a substantial period. Very difficult to get the space and perspective you need without a proper break from him.
You’ll be right U*P*. You’ve got it going on! Keep going girl & keep supporting yourself. Don’t doubt yourself now x
-
can I step in again , pweeze,…as a sex addict, a professional ?
Good sex like good food, nourishes completely. All maliferance, (?) can be banished, all disease can be eliminated, all karma burned up. Its available as a source of nourishment to all people of all types, is usually free, and can usually beat most other pastimes for pure enjoynment. Post orgasm ‘light’ is when you can see a little bit further and feel a part of the cosmos instead of feeling like the observer.
Shagging on the other hand, is basically ‘unloading’, in the male version, and ‘taking on’ in the female version and should be avoided. If it was food it probably would be a Mc D…ds. burger. Religion has twisted the minds of most people in the world with regard to sexual practice. Its the ultimate control. -
thanks guys, i’ll keep this shortish… yes …Nat – is defo the effect of Toro aftershocks I am feeling. You guys are great – if it wasn’t for this blog and my mates I would have been arrested for stalking or worse a while ago…lol
Intimacy and Solitude is a great book and I have been learning a lot from it – borrowed it from the library a while ago and it;s rather enlightening to say the least. Now to finish the book and put that into practice…aggh…I rarely use sex just as a, well, cheap way of relating – i think i almost always have to make sure it’s going to be a …red hot experience otherwise what’s the point ? well most of the time at least. I mean its not a stage show. davidl had to giggle about the cosmos part, I am usually struggling to work out where i left my brain, if everything went right
!
trying not to make too much of the dying embers of this relationship but yeah it’s pretty sucky. Thanks again for your most helpful and supportive words xox -
hahahaha
(no it isn’t)

I am more concerned with his jesus christ pose in spandex brief’s! Horrific! I didn’t even notice he was standing on someone else for a few seconds. How boring would that be to watch honestly… I love the headband to hold back his giant receding hairline as well.
Is there something in the astro where the flirting IS competition and AT you rather than engaging and fun? my aqua finance forecaster is going through something very weird at the moment and I seem to be part of its symbolism.
-
Leave it to Westerners to F*^$ up something beautiful like yoga with competition. They tried doing this with kyudo in the Olympics, but so far, i think it’s no go.
-
That pix is just Scary, Mary.
-
That dude gives me the shits. Wtf?
-
Only my country could do something so absurd.
Sigh. Get me out of here! -
I think it’s Borat.
-
Ha!
-
-
Note the crucifixion pose anyone…?
-
I be Jesus….Not only do I walk on water but your back too!
Here, let me show you my skateboarding techniques. Oh, that hurts? Well damn, it’s not supposed to…
-
he’s sublimating other people’s egos to feed his own
-
haha
-
exactly

-
Thought yoga was for moving the energy through the body after meditation and/or during so one could transform the physical of it’s blocks, etc.
This is sad and sick indeed…
Yeah Pegs, “”Look ma! I can stretch further than you but I’m still an idiot!”
(Perhaps I need some dinner for my blood sugar levels…
) -
Bring back the love budgie. I’d rather see that than this photo. Something deep inside me just wants to whack him with a cricket bat. Very un-yogic…
-
disturbia disturbia. Sometimes I weep for our species.
-
horrible. i think i just threw up a little in my mouth.
-
He strikes me as the kind of dude who left the rat race as it was too competitive “insert chanting preaching to the converted hippie rant” but was just not good enough to kick corporate arse as he wished so he is infecting spiritualistic pursuits with his underachieving power hangover. Disturbing attire can be attributed to possible midlife crisis holiday where he considers beaches in france and italy to be hip and is now trying out a new age continental look to hook a sexually confused bendy 19 year old art student who is “open minded”
-
lol… You did quite the laundry there Ms.
-
She nailed it didn’t she Sweatpea…lol
-
-
-
Lol, Ms, my partner was just joking about his chances of hooking up with that very same 19 yr old student on the weekend. I suggested it might be unsafe for his health, in so many ways. Does she exist, or is she a collective phantasm conjured by all men over 35?
-
It’s Chris Cornell … he’s left Soundgarden and is now doing tantric Jesus Christ Pose sex workshops for yummy mummys and random black gay men in downtown LA. No actually there’s no way that Chris could get that ugly and bald that quick … competitive yoga?? for freak sakes ….
-
He’s still quite a stunner and his head full of hair.
The short crop suits him…sigh…exposes those eyes of his even more.-
isn’t he just?? … gorgeous man. Cancerian with moon in Sag

Well, yoga is all about balance & I think yoga gets way too serious- this is worth a giggle, a laugh, a smile at least… I have recently started doing yoga again & my eureka! moment has been acknowledging that I get an ego boost from my teacher acknowledging how flex & good shape I am after years of non-practice & self-denial!
-
Can see he sure ain’t our type, seems he’s insulted our bodies & minds!
-
NoNoNoNoNo that’s appalling! That’s the antithesis of yoga. Competition? Olympics? It’s supposed to be a spiritual pursuit! Or at least an antidote to all the other physical practices that are so brutal on one’s body.
Well, as long as they don’t eliminate the gentle, healing yoga classes, I guess it’s ok… sort of… but they really shouldn’t call it yoga. -
Looks like a Bikram class to me judging by the sweat and the budgie-smugglers. Apparently Bikram is another USA invention and the dude who dreamed it up is trying to patent it – yetch. How can anyone belive they can patent a spiritual belief that’s been around for thousands of years just by bunging the airconditioning up to ‘tropical’?
-
TLE lol- I think she is collective phantasm totally for older men who think they are still in with a chance (without having to be accountable for anything) find a million of these dudes practicing any kind of pseudo finding thyself hunting for developing females. Yes laundry indeed!, its the jesus christ pose (points to whoever got the chris cornell ref) spandex thing, what would motivate someone to WEAR that whilst destroying an ancient eastern spiritual practice, why we ask, why?
-
I heard that his hairstyle was illegal in 29 states in the USA…
-
and the United Nations is preparing a (ahem) position paper …
-
word on the street is that the wearing of high wasted speedos is soon to be an indictable offence……..
-
o thank god…except in surf clubs i assume, where it is compulsory…like religious clothing…
-
nah babe – surf clubs are on *high* alert – setting examples you well understand………………! !

This so mpt yoga and shouldn’t evne be called that. its torture for wankers. Lets not insult any sign by guesing this guys. He is not of this planet and as for her well she is his soul mate . Imagine what they talk about over breakfast!
-
kinda concerned for the person behind the horrified woman in red top…um…MEDIC!
love yoga…tried bikram once…eye candy fabulous…but seriously…since when was yoga about dehydration and heat stroke? Not even gonna start with the spinal damage if he slips due to sweat slide. at the end of the day isnt yoga about feeling balanced?…not posing and posturing. Got to love the headband tho…hahaha.
-
OMG, you’re right! I didn’t see there was an actual corpse there.
I seriously worry about Bikram. I know a woman who seriously screwed her back doing it AND please don’t do it if you have high blood pressure or any other heart condition.
-
-
Well, that yoga thing back up there is not pretty… and isn’t yoga what one does to allow soul to suffuse more fully into body?
-
interesting sort of “christ -complex I walk upon thee” kind of thing
going on there it appeals to my martyr complex yet strangely
empowering also …. I need, I master, I need, I master,I feel like putting down the whiskey for once.. I am healed…
-
what wankers! had to post this ny times story on facebook for the world to see!
