As a Yogi in Nigeria, Ilorin specifically, I've come across people that threatened to arrest me because I was acting 'seductively'. I've been reported by mosques, young and old men, even women. Practicing outside became scary at a point
Still, I took my mat, and resumed practice
It wasn't about the amazing body, and ass that attracts some of us to practice it for me. It really goes deeper, and once you unearth that part of your practice, you'll find out its not just Yoga. It's the balance it provides.
It's the beauty of the solitude. The clarity of
purpose. Before you know it, the determination to get a pose right soon reflects on your desire to get accepted into THAT school, and no matter how much they reject you, you got up and tried again...till they accept you
That there is Yoga it should be. It's not the fancy poses
or 'positions' that gets most of you all excited. It really isn't.
Unearth that part of your Yoga practice, and see how it'll change your life for the better.

Namaste
