According to this substantial study recently published in Psychological Science, "lower general intelligence (g) in childhood predicts greater racism in adulthood, and this effect was largely mediated via conservative ideology.". As the Daily Mail summarises, right-wingers are less intelligent than left wingers.

I don't think that ashtanga practice is the "best" style, but I certainly think that for those willing to give themselves over to the principals it espouses, it can be powerful. I think this blog post is onto something (though, i think the something it is onto can be found in Iyengar and Sivananda yoga, too).

A great interview.

“I suggest a new strategy, R2. Let the wookiee win.” Yogi Ruminations on Food. @[663881338:2048:Angela Jamison] runs Ashtanga Yoga: Ann Arbor. I continue to take great enjoyment and fresh inspiration from her wit, wisdom, and (seemingly) against the grain grit on all things spirituality. She is able to meal together (again, seemingly) disparate threads of philosophy and practice to make something truly whole. May the fourthbe with you.

Yeah, I'm going to need you, @[821580710:2048:Amaya Naomi], and @[27000776:2048:Lindsay Gutekunst] to get on this. Statements like: “…we nonetheless expect all guests to recognize that minors are onboard and, refrain from engaging in inappropriate conduct in public areas.” sound a lot like “Refrain from acting gay because there are children present.
