And a nice advert for taking up yoga, from a recently qualified yoga teacher

Lovely post.

This. Great to read a very good climber being unashamedly open and articulate about mental and emotional aspects. As well as climbing harder than 3-9 ever will.

Yeah what Mina describes is very mindfulness-like, in-line with current trends.

Three-nine you'll probably dabble with your own 'hippie bullcrap' one day, my bet is around mid-thirties, if you ever get a life distracted-enough to benefit from it.

Nice post - I've also learnt that Mina's full name is Marina...

I am in my mid-30s, and no I wont! I hate stinking hippies.

Marina makes me think of last of the summer wine.

It's hardly surprising that Pete thought you were younger

You're missing out 3-9, yoga is brilliant. I am however amused by your violent reaction. Can you show me on the dolly where the man in the kaftan touched you?

Much as I enjoy the physical aspect of yoga, I can't be hooped with all the spiritual blah blah associated with it. And the white cotton everyone is dressed in for the photo.

[petejh]

Are you really in your mid-thirties 3-9? Genuinely amazed. Good effort keeping hold of the early-twenties persona! I must be an 'old' late-thirtysomething.

[Three Nine]

Well maybe not really mid, i'm 32.

I thought it was a flippin awesome blog post. Well inspiring.

I've been to at least four different yoga classes over the years and only one teacher has managed to pitch the spiritual side at the right level for most of the class to engage with. After a while I found it the most interesting bit. Having said that I won't be going to Goa any time soon.

In case anyone was wondering this is a picture of Three Nine...

[abarro81]

Actually that's a picture of 3-9's messiah

[Oldmanmatt]

I'm mid forties.

And I figure, sitting still and thinking about things (even with limbs tied in knots), is a restful and calming activity; which allows you to put your world into perspective.

Stretching is good for mobility.


The rest is BS.

Nice BS, like Unicorns; but BS.

I tried yoga many years ago, but found the stillness quite unbearable and anxiogenic.
So I took up thai-chi and it went better.
But the thing that I find most calm inducing, is lifting heavy weights.

Where did Unicorns acquire this 'nice' tag from?
