That's great
it's ok, yoga was culturally appropriated from sweden by Indians and then culturally appropriated back by white girls
Wait, really? It's from Sweden?
swedish gymnastics -> YMCA -> Indian national fitness program -> Yoga -> California hipsters -> white girls
That's hilarious
originally yoga was just a theory of meditation/mental discipline
We wuz yoga
then it developed some poses like basically sitting, standing, etc. Still meditation focused. Then YMCA introduces static stretching from swedish gymnastics and India attempts to incorporate it into a fitness program with their national characteristics so they merge in the meditation/yoga part
then it migrates almost directly to California and white girls
All the classic poses can be seen in the original gymnastics texts though
That's really interesting I had no idea
Japan has this thing where students do stretches before class. I think every higher functioning society sees the benefits of such exercises.
Physical and mental
fit school kids would hurt the stock market
are you trying to ruin our economy?
N-no....
how are we going to raise the next generation of soda addicts?
pepsi-cola is the backbone of our great nation
Marketing! 😂
Sounds like preventative medicine, now how am I supposed to make that into insurance premiums and subsidies?
Wine and dine doctors with the express purpose of influencing them to "prescribe" the exercise program
Lmao a committee designing things, that always goes well.
They want us sick and dumb
They want us dead and they think it’s funny
We wont let that happen.
does anyone know a good Summer job when you're in college and don't have any useful skills yet?
Not Summer job but UPS driver helper is a fun end-of-year seasonal job, lots of exercise and overtime
@Jacob to be honest I've heard Amazon isn't a bad gig and they hire part time
to do what?
@Jacob concierge. Client facing Customer service
You ride in the passenger seat, and help the driver deliver packages for the Christmas season
like sitting at a front desk? that sounds decent @VinceChaos
Sell yourself to future employers that you’re a problem solver @Jacob
People get you to solve weird problems
Pretty sure that’s what my sister is doing this summer
I could use a problem solver in my life right now 😂
We should have an intern for IE
Half joking
