If I were the one who had typed out those words, I’d instantly be branded as some backward, intolerant Neanderthal. It’s funny, really—those are the exact kinds of insults hurled by folks who pretend they’re chasing Nirvana, acting as if they can somehow float above our earthly struggles toward some state of perfection. Except, instead of practicing Yoga, they just substitute it with the HBK or various bishops and such.

Could you please, for my sake, tell me what specific kind of Yoga teaches that? Honestly, I think Yoga is just a subculture, much like how goths or punks used to be twenty years ago (and still are today). I truly believe there are people out there who take Yoga seriously and find it incredibly beneficial for both their intellect and their physical health. Though, I don't suppose any of those serious practitioners would ever bother showing up on a topic like this.

So, what exactly is my problem here?

The issue is simply that you are uninformed and heavily biased.

I’d argue that isn't actually instinct—it sounds much more like intuition to me.
