A woman after my own heart 💔 You embody the all emcompassing ever-growing Amercian!! Don't forget there are Aghori Yogis who maintain a level of oneness/openess and negate cognitive bias at all costs. Very much a 'Nothing is true; everything is permitted' meta model. Guru's will often initiate the aspirant with the thing they feel the upmost aversion to. In retrospect this happened to me when I was put on a Sattwic diet that included 'no heavy weights' When you love lifting and EATING it can feel like a challenge. I suppose we can go deeper into what is yoga? There are 8 limbs of yoga. Jnana yoga deals with non-attachment. Must we learn to relinquish those things we hold dear and beloved? For if it were not for disease nor death this 'yoga' would never come to be..

Tara, have you ever met Arnold Schwarzenegger? I’ve been reading him a lot, and he’s always been into intense body awareness. I agree with you, treating your body with great care and respect is definitely the way to go! ❤
