Expert Yogi Posts: 8442      | Well, if you practice at home you have the benefit of deciding what the temperature will be and not having to worry about a mirror or the timings. Usually it is suggested that you time by counting your breaths to start but if you really want a timer - go for it. Teacher guidance you gotta go to class for until his/her voice starts talking in your head while you practice  | ||

Expert Yogi Posts: 8442 | So Cyndi - are you saying that you practice in your bathroom?  Not that there's anything wrong with that.... | ||

Expert Yogi Posts: 5098 Location: Somewhere in the Mountains of Western NC | Actually, I wish my bathroom were that big!! My little house is so small that I took the bathroom door off because it was just big and bulky and in my way. I hung some nice curtains instead...so, when I practice, I can open the curtains and the humidity flows into the other room which is where I do my yoga. I have a small sink area in the Yoga Room (like a bar - sorry Bruce, no Guiness or Vodka) that I fill with hot water, for more humidity. We get lots of rain here in the mountains, so there are some days it is way too much - humidity. I wish I did have one of those sauna bathrooms that was mirrored all around with tile floors and fancy fixtures...then YES!! I would do my yoga in there and then I would slide into the sauna bath - sounds just heavenly. Hmm, maybe after I get my car air conditioner fixed I can work on arranging my dream Sauna/Yoga studio! Sooo, if you come to my house and don't like not having a bathroom door...house rule is girls only upstairs if you need to pee, downstairs is where the boys bathroom is - with a door, or we have the Jungle (as Satyam calls it) that is very vast and open, no neighbors to worry about  Yes, I know Bruce, we mountain hillbillies are very strange!! You know what though?? In the countryside of Nepal, my husband says they don't have their bathrooms in the house...its outside and you have to go fetch your water from the main water area for some houses. | ||

Expert Yogi Posts: 8442 | You got that right, Bruce! Every time someone starts talking about living closer to nature or how wonderful it would be to live the simple life in some third world country, I bless my running water and indoor toilet. | ||

Expert Yogi Posts: 5098 Location: Somewhere in the Mountains of Western NC | You guys are too funny. Of course we Americans LOVE our bathrooms. My bathroom is my sanctuary. But, if I were living in Nepal or India, I could get used to NOT having the bathroom in the house and I would, in my mind, think of camping all the time - which is what I do alot! I guess its just a matter of what you are used to. There are some really cool mountain homes here in NC and I have spent lots of time ruffing in on the Blue Ridge Parkway and the NC mountains. Afterall, my Father took me on many hiking trips on the Appalachain Trail...once it rained the entire time due to an unexpected forecast...talk about fun and sleeping inside a dirty old hunters cabin and not having a choice...it doesn't bother me to be in nature at all, although it is more convienent when you can set up your tent before the rain. What bothers me is being clean. I look at the natural forest, dirt, trees, Rhodenderons and a nice waterfall or creek as clean...Dirty to me is seeing Sh%t and toilet tissue laying everywhere and human trash...that to me is disgusting. I believe in the "leave no trace" policy for using the forest, we bury our crap and burn the rest. I wish the people in Khatmandu would practice that way and I sometimes don't understand why they don't.  If anyone is going to Amdo Tibet...none of the above applies...totally different. Not only are you dealing with the above mentioned...your are freezing your A%$ off and there are no trees, no outside bathrooms, only a big ditch. My friends who went to a monastery there said they had to hold up a blanket so the monks couldn't see you. They also lived in tents which are very pretty and very big. Talk about ruffing it. The high temperature in the summer (1 month out of the year if that) is maybe in the low 50's, if your lucky you get a couple of warm hours...but, look out at night!! | ||

Expert Yogi Posts: 8442 | Yeah - we've had some nice discussions about stinky carpets here in the past.  Where's that gag icon, Bruce? | ||
