Talking about coconuts... I'll be enjoying coconuts in Mysore really soon.

Master, you have an insight – from eating the Filipinized Indian food. But I disagree…...just a little bit. If we do not want to dilute the teachings of yoga, then we shouldn’t even be teaching it to women; but we are; and well. Welcome to the 21st century. – from grasshopper
In the Hathapradipika of Svatmarama, one of the ancient hatha yoga texts, the Lord Shiva was teaching his consort Parvati the different hatha yoga techniques. This provides the evidence that yoga was made available to both men and women.
In the old times, the women took care of the family while the men were free to openly pursue their yogic pursuits. The women were doing more of the subtle practices like pranayama, meditation, and service, while the men explored the asanas.
When society changed and the tight grip of traditions loosened up, women were given the same opportunity to pursue all aspects of the practice, but the teachings remained the same... pure and undiluted.
