Black People Don't Do Yoga. Really?

Yes honey, it's about that time of year, the weather is getting warmer and ladies have to get bathing suit friendly. Ew. I've been excersing alot latetly, and although I'm all about the gym and the park, you've got to switch it up bit, so I decided to go to yoga. Yes, I said it, I'm going to yoga. A black woman, who is not Oprah or Gayle is going to Yoga, say what? Say yes. And do you know how hard it is trying to get one of your sista girl friends to come to yoga? It's like pulling teeth from an actorwith no health insurance. I got alot of , "what? come'on nah, you know we don't do yoga..", "or, damn, you trying to work it out like a a skinny white girl" and my favorite - "i mean, really? now isn't that like a substitute for sex or somethin'?" -- Well let's break it down for minute - why wouldn't we practice yoga? Cause it's too expensive? There are cheap places, in fact I found a place that's free, it's a suggested donation, check out www.yogatothepeople.com - Is someone losing their black card for going to yoga? I mean, what's a little stretching and heavy breathing have to do with being black? If we're getting into crazy beliefs n sh*t, then what about people telling us we shouldn't listen to rock & roll? Or have interracail relationships? Or read? Or vote? I mean please, we gonna believe everything someone tells us we should/shouldn't do? You know what other black people do yoga? Okaaay? Music and fashion mogul, Russell Simons ... And guess what? There's even a style of yoga called Egyptian Yoga, I mean, how black can you get it? I found it on this website, check it:http://www.blackvoices.com/blogs/2008/03/12/five-benefits-of-a-yoga-workout/ So next time bredgrin, please think twice about going to yoga and experiencing something very cute and healty! Cha mon.
