I open tribe. I see that there is a post in yoga. I go. Its sex or preach.
Duh..
I wish you all well.
One of my resolutions is to use my time in a more nourishing way.
This tribe, for all the good it can do, has become a bit low energy.
Maybe we will see one another in the spring.

Re: I am sad this tribe has turned to sex and preaching
Sat, January 3, 2009 - 7:46 PMKathy is right.
first it was those guys out in the street with signs reading, " Will Work for Food"...... now it's "Yoga for Sex".
But I don't mean to get all preachy about it.

Sat, January 3, 2009 - 8:33 PMCheer up! Cheer up, CathyQ.
Good times come and go.
Life ebbs and flows
Like the tides.
Sometimes you're high,
Sometimes you're low.
Life ebbs and flows
Like the tides.
Sometimes you're up,
Sometimes you're down.
But sooner or later
Good times come around again.
So cheer up! Cheer up CathyQ.

Re: I am sad this tribe has turned to sex and preaching
Sat, January 3, 2009 - 8:58 PMWhat is tantra but sexual yoga, so whats the problem. And if anyone preaches just ignore them, they willget tired of talking to no one. When you respond, it only adds fuel to their fire. -

Re: I am sad this tribe has turned to sex and preaching
Sat, January 3, 2009 - 11:24 PMWe must understand that some enjoy yoga more than sex* (*dirty word, fellows!).
A neatly executed asana can be more satisfying than a mere mixing of yucky body fluids. [I'm playing devil advocate here, not preacher man].
Isn't Tantor the name of Tarzan's elephant? -

Re: I am sad this tribe has turned to sex and preaching
Sun, January 4, 2009 - 5:00 AMYa, but it's hardly christian..... nor Islamic, for that matter..... that's why Egypt and Arabia outlawed yoga as anti-Islam..... because as a body culture, it may contain some elements of s__ (or shall we use the term "intimacy" as the advertising trade does in contraceptive ads, delicately aimed at 'her' ....for fear of exceeding somebody's perceived comfort level?).
But then yoga, as in the words of the familiar mantra, aims to place the jewel squarely into the lotus blossom [Om mani pedme hmmmm.].... which is all about U-n-i-o-n....and that's about as graphic as I dare get on this tribe.
I tried to share some photos of a friend's (co-ed) nude yoga class here last year and the moderatoress deleted them Maybe this thread will be the next to be "disappeared" unless we excercise extreme discretion with our utilization of vernacular terminology.

Re: I am sad this tribe has turned to sex and preaching
Sun, January 4, 2009 - 10:19 AMCathy,
Perhaps Yoga has a place in every manner of Life. Sex included. Love included. I have experienced Union with another person physically while simultaneously experiencing it emotionally.. being completely present and in tune with that other. I don't think that's "low energy". And like Sam said.. Ebbs and Flows!!!! : ) I wouldn't write an entire Tribe off because of a few posts I didn't like, I'd just stay away from them. In fact, I haven't even opened the Yoge for Sex thread and peeked at it, because I'm not all that intersted.
If you're Sad about what this Tribe has turned into.. How ever will you deal with the world and it's ebbs and flows? Now's the time for you to practice your Yoga.

Re: I am sad this tribe has turned to sex and preaching
Sun, January 4, 2009 - 10:28 AMInhale and exhale. The only way I deal with tribe threads I don't agree with or don't care for, is just observe them like a good little watcher. These clouds will change and pass.
As for sex..., I really enjoy sex however, it's part of my bag of doing-ness. Which doesn't define me. It's only an expression.
And as for preaching! Well, some of us (myself included) sometimes become very passionate about a subject.
Across whatever distance,I send my love,
:D

Re: I am sad this tribe has turned to sex and preaching
Sun, January 4, 2009 - 10:35 AMCathy, maybe you should have a look at the "Yoga For Sex" thread -- it begins with a link to a current news report on a research study that shows positive effects of yoga practice on sexual satisfaction.
I think anytime yoga is the subject of a mainstream news article, that article should be presented and discussed here.
Why not?

Re: I am sad this tribe has turned to sex and preaching
Sun, January 4, 2009 - 12:13 PMIt should be no surprise to anyone here on tribe that topics dealing with sex are clearly amongst those getting the most mileage. We're all sexual beings, and whether or not we act upon our impulses or are even aware of them - that little beastie is always lurking in the background, ready to come out and play or to pounce, to love or show compassion, maybe just to be a nuisance. But there's no doubt it's there, and here on tribe it has little shame about rearing its hear, and apparently you find this distasteful. Not that I want you to leave, but maybe you'd be happier elsewhere. The question, though, is where would you go? -

Re: I am sad this tribe has turned to sex and preaching
Sun, January 4, 2009 - 3:36 PMCathy.. An honest question for you that I believe warrants an answer, unless your only looking for attention. (which I don't think is the case here..so I'll ask)
What is wrong with Sex? Why do you consider that topic specifically Low Energy? And as far as the Preaching thing you observed, I think the poster said something to the effect of NOT TO GET ALL PREACHY. Kind of joking with himself so folks didn't get that sort of idea, somehow you took that the exact way he didn't mean it to be.
What's goin on with ya lately? Is it really this Tribe that you are disillusioned with or something else? I'm getting the vibe something entirely different has got you upset and this Tribe might *seem* like what's upsetting you, but I don't think it's the root or anywhere close to it. Talk to us woman!

Re: I am sad this tribe has turned to sex and preaching
Mon, January 12, 2009 - 9:44 PMI HATE when the internet eats my responses!!! (ok, "hate" isn't a very Yogi-ish word but you get the point)
Yikes woman! You've got a lot on your plate right now. I really really hope things become easier for you. I'm happy we didn't loose you from this Tribe!
Sam and I were just talking about the character of a person and how when things are fine, usually we are too.. no big fuss to be had..smooth sailing. This got me to thinking even more about when the Fiber of who we really are reveals itself. I realized that personally, I don't do a wonderful job at sailing the more trecherous waters of Life. I can tend to get lost amongst the waves and swallowed whole. Then when the storm finally clears, navigating back onto my path takes a really long time and occasionally a fair bit of heartache. Had I just kept my eyes open and not gotten so scared during the storm I probably wouldn't have lost my path to begin with.
I don't tend to utilize hard times as a growing opportunity. I really don't know many people who do. A very small handfull at best. I want that to change. I want to be able to test the Fiber of who I am and I want not to keep forgetting what's really important to me.
Like I mentioned, I hope things become easier, but in the meantime.. Try not to loose your path. When the storm clears you'll be stronger for it and won't have been moved by Life's waves.

Re: I am sad this tribe has turned to sex and preaching
Tue, January 13, 2009 - 4:00 AMI know my path K
thank you tho. you are right.
I miss being in situations where my words existence ideas.. etc are appreciated and can be used.. havign tribe eat posts and no longer allow Pm's.. is another of many sitauations which is frustrating.
I wrote a logn thing..
Do youremember when you woudl look at your home page and in a day see Yoga tribe had 12 entries and then go and fidn wonderful topics to discuss? And to hav einterestign conversation amid that?
It doesnt exist anymore on tribe. For the most part trolls.. and yes, I got stuck in a couple tangles with one. -

Re: I am sad this tribe has turned to sex and preaching
Tue, January 13, 2009 - 6:50 AMWell, I suppose ever since Tribe has begun having so many technical issues, people may be less prone to post. It hasn't been allowing PM's much for me either. The connection is constantly 'timing out' whatever that means. I really hope they work out the kinks soon or else they'll be losing a lot of people. It does get quite frustrating.
Still, there are some great people here and we all have our good days and not so great ones. -

Re: I am sad this tribe has turned to sex and preaching
Fri, January 9, 2009 - 1:14 PMNow listen you daughters and sons of Adam & Even
it is a Sin to even consider Sex a as a Sin,
for born from sex out of a sex, and maybe back into a Sex again,
gosh, pray for us all we are toungue in cheek!
Nah, seriously, it sounds like a mind cannot bother to NOT bother
about reading the junk it doesn't want!
(Just like Newspapers.)
