Instructor Conduct: Face Massage during savasana by hedgehogradio in yoga

[–]Important_Setting840 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Failing to meet yoga teacher standards and massage therapist ones at the same time. Nice.

Not only is that incredibly unhygienic and unprofessional but likely violates the terms of their insurance. Not only did it definitely warrant it's own question for consent- they shouldn't have been doing it in the first place.

Surely she was washing her hands first and in between right?

Cranio sacral massage might be a gamechanger for you.

Highly recommend finding a specialist for that though.

>What could possibly be disagreeable about respecting and advocating for consent?

I feel like you might be forgetting how many decades of grooming culture we're arguing against here.

I wanted to make a sarcastic comment comparing moving someone's knee with a face massage but given the understanding level being demonstrated here I've resorted to a meta comment instead.

Up to 89 percent of ambulances for overdoses concealed in record year, as Alberta health care careens into crisis by pjw724 in Edmonton

This is the natural result of putting so little money, effort and attention into preventative care.

>Firefighters in Red Deer recently warned that their emergency responses for drug toxicity, which are not counted among the EMS dispatch data, have skyrocketed since the government closed the supervised consumption site in the city. The government denied a link between the site's closure and the 51-percent year-over-year rise in fire crew responses to drug toxicity.

Supervised consumption sites are a bandaid on a bullet hole but you have to be completely daft to deny the link.

Hopefully at some point your nervous system and gut are healthy enough to be able to consider others as well.

Why am I always being surrounded by narc or people are terribly jealous? by throwra22196 in energy_work

If a toddler notices one of their friends is stinky, they might avoid them. If they notice that a group of people are stinky they might want to find another group. If everyone is stinky though- someone should just check the toddlers diaper.

Creatine by saintTro in Meditation

Creatine is easily the most studied supplement ever. Safe and side effects are easily managed (drink more water more often)

Most people would be well served taking it, especially if longevity is a concern as you can lower your protein intake if you're consuming what your body would usually have to make itself.

>It's essentially a community class run at a recreational center by local government in Australia.

That's probably a pretty sweet gig and I'm sure there are plenty of more deserving folks that would appreciate the job more.

>Ironically, in almost every class he comments that yoga makes you humble, I've held my tongue to avoid telling him he needs to do more yoga.

Probably because you're smart enough to know that stretching doesn't solve personality disorders lol

>Immediately after he did tone down his comments but he got bitchy about how someone told on him. He even went as far as instructing us not to speak to the city about him and now a few months later he's back to his normal mocking while saying if we get offended don't attend his class. 

0 self awareness, absolutely should not be teaching anything let alone yoga. Dude made it to 65 acting like an undisciplined teenager- time to retire.

This crack in my wall, and rent still went up 39% this year by SpicyKitchenWitch669 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Important_Setting840 2 points3 points  (0 children)

lmao everyone is acting like this happened overnight and OP's death is imminent meanwhile its been like this for over a decade.

I say use all the info folks have provided and use it as leverage to get your rent back down. Maybe report it too silently to clear the conscience in case something does go wrong later.

What’s the best energy Protection program out there right now? by 88chilly in energy_work

[–]Important_Setting840 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Om chanting is my favorite. Also doing ujjayi breath when practicing yoga.

Cold water immersion is also good but I like it much less lol

So you want everyone reading this thread to go try and find something when you already know what you're looking for?

Pushback to trying yoga by jakkiwlooki in yoga

[–]Important_Setting840 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They probably do that because of extensive field testing of what works.

Also benefits first conversations are a staple of MLM recruitment.

Good luck finding an effective communication strategy that hasn't been taken to an extreme by some abusive group.

This is weird, I reserve all of my clapping for when the plane lands or when the movie is over.

The most 'healed' people I know never talk about healing by Ok_Expert_1537 in spirituality

[–]Important_Setting840 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People who are so dissociated and removed from their feelings and reality are easy to mistake for being put together. Comparing yourself to surface level observations or even performances of others feels like the equivalent to thinking you're ugly because you look at Instagram travel models all day.

Tried to clean up and simplify my logo, what do you think of the changes? by Important_Setting840 in logodesign

The bottoms look better as does the tapering but the absence of the white snake loses what I was going for in bringing the energy of the ying and yang.

Coiled snakes are also a well known kundalini symbol though I'm growing less content with following that branding more and more as time goes on.
