Headline: Yoga bad for your knees, Indian doctor warns. -Dean Nelson.
Guess what? Yoga can jack up people knees…
“Dr Ashok Rajgopal says he has performed knee replacement surgery on a number of leading yoga gurus.”
Guess what? Over stretching a joint isn’t a good thing and leads to orthopedic problems,
“according to Dr Rajgopal, the extreme stretching exercises at the heart of the discipline cause severe stress on joints, leading to arthritis.”
My joints feel….GREAT!
Guess what? Yoga can cure HIV aids and cancer..
“Some of its most charismatic teachers, like India’s Baba Ramdev, who has built a worldwide empire through television appearances, believe its breathing exercises can even cure diseases like HIV Aids and cancer.”
Yoda knows it’s B.S. and he didn’t even need to use the force for this one.
That’s right boys and girls stretching (which is important) and breathing (also highly important) can cure AID’s.
Not just HIV….
but full-blown AID’s
….seriously? seriously?
Who believes this??….
Yoda sure as hell doesn’t…I bet Yoda can’t even cure cancer let alone AIDS and he’s a freaking 900 year old Jedi master…
You’re a dude who stretches and breathes deep…
No, for real?…no…I don’t care if you like yoga or not but really?
Breathing and stretching can somehow make the freaking CELLS, in your body, change?
“Yeah, so um I contracted HIV but then I sat around and stretched and breathed a lot…got my karma back, and I’m good now…. Thanks for asking!”
Someone is going to read that line above and get really pissed at me…that’s fine. You should definitely be pissed at me and not the guy telling people that yoga can cure a deadly disease..yeah, really enlightened and logical of you.
Pissing cures a full bladder…that’s all it does.
But all in all this is a VERY good article about the good and bad of yoga. Basically, in exercise, it all comes down to this, “a significant number of people who have been not trained adequately to get into yoga and harmed themselves…”
Well worth your 2 minutes.
About Roy:
In the storm of life we struggle through myriads of stimuli of pressure, stress, and muti-problems that seek for a solution and answer. We are so suppressed by the routine of this every life style that most of us seem helpless. However, if we look closely to ancient techniques we shall discover the magnificent way to understand and realize the ones around us and mostly ourselves. If only we could stop for a moment and allow this to happen. May all beings be happy (Loka Samastha Sukhino Bhavanthu)
Let me bow to Indian Maharishi Patanjali and swami Ramdev of Patanjali Yogpeeth, Maharshi Dayanand Gram, with folded hands who helped in removing the impurities of the mind through his writings on Yoga, impurities of speech through his writings on speech, and impurities of body through his writings on Ayurveda.
The American justice Dept. have recently approved the power of yoga and meditation vide a recent judgement in the American court.” Man Who Slapped Wife Sentenced to Yoga, It’s Anger Management, Says Judge.” First there was house arrest. Now there’s yoga.Yogi is a seer or sage who, by deep and long meditation, prayer, study of man and the universe, at last reaches illumination or wisdom, whereby he thoroughly understands the many perplexing problems of life and can solve them. The Yogis have the very highest respect and the purest love for women. We know that woman is a finer organization than man, and in India, you never hear the Hindus of culture or refinement ever refer to woman as the “weaker vessel.” Man to reach his highest development must look up to woman, the mother of creation, and love her with the highest and purest love, and respect her with the highest respect. No man can become great until he has this respect for woman. Woman is the “finer vessel,” and not the “weaker vessel.”
