When I take the long commute into the office once a week or so I tune to the local news station to grab a traffic report so I can choose my route.
Sometimes... inadvertently I end up hearing some of the news.
This morning I heard some thick headed, dimwitted Yoga instructors have applied for a U.S. Patent on their yoga positions.
Seriously.
I am so embarrased to be an American.
I'm sorry, I don't bring cash with me to the gym...guess this means I can't continue with my yoga class at 25c a pose?!?!

You've heard of Bikram Yoga, yes? The hot yoga dealeo. It's basically the same yoga poses over 60 minutes in 104 degree heat. If you go to a Bikram yoga class in Peoria it will be exactly the same as a Bikram yoga class in hoity toity New Yawk. It's patented. Patented yoga moves.
ReplyDeleteI would imagine this is what the yoga patenters were basing their patenting on. They're basically protecting an exercise program they've developed aka... Buns of Steel. Though I imagine you don't need that (right Prunella?).
ah ...yes... bikram - i have heard of that Americanized yoga. I have also heard there are Bikram competitions.
ReplyDeleteomg.
more embarrassment.
pathetic... competitive Americans.
Oh, I get it now. This is not the blog of a mild mannered, yet to the point, Friday tip of the day cleaning lady. It's really the blog of a subversive anarchist subtly pushing a radical, Socialist agenda via seemingly benign posts about yoga patents.
ReplyDeleteConsider yourself outed.
hmm - subversion implies overthrow, i much too busy mopping floors to overthrow anything or anyone.
ReplyDeletei am simply embarrassed.
as for my radical, socialist agenda... well, i am hardly benign about that - now am i.
There were lots of floor moppers partaking in the French Revolution. Speaking of...
ReplyDeletebut i am italian.
ReplyDeletewe are lovers.
