J.Brown's latest blog post is a smart, kind and much needed reflection on men, women, sex, yoga, teaching and more...read it in full
here.
"There is a lot of conversation in the yoga world these day about the “yoga body” and the empowerment of women through yoga. And then there is a backlash of “Broga”
classes being marketed where men can be men and do their yoga without
having all those empowered women around. We must bridge this gap. Both
men and women need to abandon these unhealthy notions of beauty and
gender. Both men and women need to learn how to have genuinely mutual
relationship to one another.
But lets be clear, men are more to
blame. As Holland so eloquently states: “For we are the inheritors of an
ancient tradition, going back to the origins of the great civilizations
of the past which have so profoundly shaped our consciousness and
fashioned the dualism that lies behind our efforts to dehumanize half
the human race.” It’s up to us to either continue carrying the torch
for hurt and dysfunction or be courageous enough to forge a better way."
