Silly Goofy Face? Part 2…
Now what’s quite a bit scarier than a lion’s pose (not) is Japanese ladies’ facial yoga practice…
I don’t know … I guess practicing at a studio with no mirror has been a good thing – I really don’t know what in the world I look like. And that’s a good thing as otherwise, people tend to get too self-conscious, always pulling down their shirt or fixing a lock of hair, adjusting this or that, self-analyzing with those critical eyes of ours – so much judgement. It’s less about vanity and how you look but more about what’s inside… and yet, I guess it’s women’s eternal desire to look better and that desire knows no borders… Still, each student pulling out a mirror like this and gazing at their own face in a yoga studio and calling it “facial yoga” seems a bit … scary to me. Almost sacrilegious … Maybe I will get used to it once I’m there…since there are enough little shrines all over, maybe studios are not treated as a sanctuary the way I treat the place…
For now, I think I will just go do a down dog with a cat smile – and ponder on this matter…lol.
