Both Funny and True by Allyson Whipple
Lauren Cahn has an editorial in the Huffington Post entitled "Namaste . . . Bitches." It’s hysterical and satirical, and one of the most enjoyable yoga articles I have read in months. Cahn’s humor moves from the true-to-life to the slightly absurd, and the entire time reminds us that yoginis and yogis are always human. Even the most diligent and inspired practitioners make mistakes and encounter difficulties.
We see articles illustrating these same points all the time, but Cahn does so in a way that genuinely reminds us not to take ourselves so seriously. Yes, we aspire to live a yogic life. Yes, we slip up. But that should not be a cause for shame or embarrassment. We need to correct our behavior, learn from those mistakes, but also laugh at ourselves.
Hilarious! I’m so glad you shared this…
