FutureNHLGm Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Us, for anyone, would imply that they are a member of the organization, Mr. FutureWHAGm. You are a member of the Sound Pussies organization, not the Canucks, amiright? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugemanskost Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 The Canucks are my favourite team. Have you ever heard the saying "We are all Canucks" ? Yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugemanskost Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Until you meet them, you'll think they run everything horribly but from the inside, this is a great organization and I'm proud to be apart of it. Mr. Snow is a top class GM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugemanskost Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 My point is, you can't say we're a horribly run organization just because you see signings like the Tim Thomas signing to reach cap floor and the Dipietro contract. Was the Dipietro contract a mistake? Yes. But he was projected to be an amazing goalie when we drafted him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldnews Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Would love to see the macho folks mocking yoga here attempt to get through one single hour of disciplined practice - or some of the tough talkers try to keep up with the 94 year old BKS Iyengar - that would be a hell of an entertaining thing to witness. http://www.bksiyengar.com/ Imo, if athletes want the benefits of yoga they should steer clear of Bikram (fashion/hot yoga), Hatha and Moksha - and opt for the most disciplined tradition - Iyengar yoga. Not fashion and gimmicks involved (lululemon outfits and a hot, smelly room are not the point) - and their teachers can't obtain yoga instructor certification in a weekend getaway. Iyengar is a seriously disciplined tradition which requires it's teachers attain significant knowledge of the body, focuses on alignment in the body (very beneficial to athletes and people with injuries), therapeutics, strength, mental clarity, balance is an obvious benefit, and has a wealth of practices designed for people with particular health conditions. It doesn't matter how great an athlete is conditioned - yoga can challenge and benefit anyone. People who mock it obviously haven't tried it.

oldnews Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Well said, oldnews! I was having a conversation with a yoga instructor who works with our grade 9 kids and she was saying that hot yoga, used at the right times during year-round training can be very beneficial, especially for flexibility. If you have sufficient time to re-hydrate before a major activity / match, hot would be OK, no? If you don't have time to re-hydrate properly, avoid it?

Hugemanskost Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 I'm not an expert, but I do have some issues with Hot yoga. First, because the practitioner is in an artificially hot environment, there is a tendency to push the muscles, ligaments and tendons beyond their healthy range of motion - ie there is actually a higher risk of injuring oneself in those conditions. The carbon footprint it takes to maintain these environments is an issue to some - and the artificial hot air has a questionable effect on the lungs and heart - and can be dangerous for many practitioners. Their is also the cumulative effect of all those people detoxing in a hot, confined space - a few Bikram's facilities I have crossed smell far worse than a hockey locker room lol. Bikrams classes are scripted progressions from teacher's who aren't necessarily adequately trained imo (it really just takes a load of cash and couple weeks to become a Bikram's 'instructor'). The practice lacks balance, as far as I'm concerned, between the postures that generate heat in the body, and the inversions, which cool the body. The practice is an overstimulation in a literal sense. It can be a good 'workout', but as far as the actual benefits of a disciplined yoga practice, I think it falls far short.

FutureNHLGm Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Thanks, oldnews. We don't do hot yoga, in its traditional sense. We just do "regular" beginner's yoga in a stuffy, hot gym with poor air circulation so it gets freakin' hot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xur Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 I can only make one more post for today. So. I bid you all adieu and I'll be back when I'm allowed to have a discussion. Hope that cold clears up, teach. Oh and by the way GO COYOTESSSSSSSS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimberWolf Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 I have engaged in yoga for the last little while. Tougher then running and weightlifting in my book but ever since I have been walking straighter and feeling much more coordinated like I used to as a younger man. That said, I'd like to see the Nucks get the opposite of Zen for the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaMacNamedDre Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 pedicures in Yaletown tomorrow for the boys if they get blown out tonight and maybe some seawall rollerblading, followed up by some vocal training by the Vancouver Choir, teach the boys how to sing kumbaya. That ought to get them into playoff beast mode. (troll post over) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
