What a bullshit response. Just say "No comment, you can talk to our lawyer", douche.

This couple and this yoga center are weird enough to deserve each other.

Agreed

Wrong answer, Mike.

Considering the fact that she peed herself, I find the yoga instructor's comments to be HIGH-larious.

a sleazy male yoga teacher? i'm shocked.

Insert cliche joke about the downward-facing dog pose here.

Jonah, do they teach classes on "headlines as puns" in journalism school?

If this were an episode of Law and Order (Criminal Intent?), I'd be chuckling to myself how badly written the "yoga instructor" character is.

Well since it was in a class it should be easy to prove which side is right. Though it might be hard to tell who's more nuts.

My "headline as pun" class would involve some sort of lesson on when it works (cat up tree, politician sex scandals, petty thievery) and when it doesn't (alleged molestation).

Dear God, Jonah sucks balls as a cops reporter.

"The incident happened in October but was not reported to police until last week."

Fail.

where's this place?

do they have cute, gay, male instructors with Roman hands and Russian fingers?

Inqueering minds NEEEEEED to know!

Jonah, your headline is horribly awesome.

is this the Stranger's attempt at being The Onion?

This can't be real.

Charles, please write a movie script for this. Please.

None of this makes any sense. I want lunch.

I see no mention of sexual favors for a dog. Slog is slipping today.

Sound like a total crock. All this happened in a class full of students? Really?

Oh come now. Who doesn't pee their pants after having their chakras properly re-aligned?

I'd like to press charges against the guy in my yoga class who farted and because I couldn't stop laughing I could never go back there again.

HA HA

At least it wasn't hot yoga.

19 peeing in pants is an acceptable substitue for carnal canine favors.

thanks, #22, I just laughed spit all over my screen.

This instructor must be an ex-youth pastor.

I had a yoga instructor who would sometimes place his hands where they probably did not need to go. This guy also marketed himself as a "shaman" even though he was clueless. He would utter such trite one liners as "there is no such thing as coincidence." This may be true since the word sham comes right before the shaman in the dictionary.

My yoga instructor is always reaching down my pants.... is this not normal?

"Anybody can have the truth to their perspective. We just promote health happiness and peace in a way that allows people to heal their bodies. Sometimes those feelings can be strong," Mike says. "Until you actually get into water, if you’ve never been in water, it’s a new experience. You have to be open to that experience."

Well at least Mike cleared that all up for us!

@30 Typical yoga mumbo jumbo. I completely understand the health benefits of yoga. Yoga is great for the body. But those who practice yoga for some kind of spiritual benefit are gullible fools.

Maybe he was only thinking "Until my hand actually gets into her pants, if my hand has never been in her pants, it’s a new experience. My hand has to be open to that experience."

will grope again

If you are concentrating on not being molested, and are even thinking about the, uh, openness or otherwise of your naughty bits, you are clearly not concentrating hard enough on your peace. Your yoga instructor and a pack of dogs should be able to penetrate you ten different ways without you even noticing. Otherwise you're doing it wrong.

name yoga studio and instructor please. i have a bet in on his identity.

C'mon...tell us where this happened!

You ga pee.

So this whole "listen to your master" thing really works? I can try this on my boss is what you're saying?

This is yet another sad example of the inevitablre outcome of "bending out of shape," deviating from common sense and facts of Yoga/Hinduism....all the various Yogas (progressive religious/spiritual disciplines) are Hinduism. There is no problem with the study of the Hindu/Yoga religion. There is an issue of separating/divorcing and redefining the disciplines of a specific people and their religion and then falsely practicing, and/or teaching it...this is unethical, deceptive, exploitive, etc. The indisputable facts and some often misrepresented Yoga/Hindu religious words are below:
Yati
~Sanskrit: The ancient language of the Hindus [Webster's] Note: all subsequent terms are Sanskrit (Skr.) and thus Hindu
~Aum/Om: The most sacred syllable in Hinduism [Oxford World Religions]
~yoga: Skr. "Hinduism" [Webster's]
~yoga: Oneness of Atmana and Brahman [Dict. of Skr. Names]
~yogi/yogini: (male/female) Hindu Ascetic [Oxford World Rel.]
~Atmana: Skr. Self/Spirit; Hinduism [Webster's]
~Brahman: Skr. Hindu Religion [Webster's]
~yoga: Skr. A Hindu discipline [Oxford Am. Dict.]
~ yoga: Skr. A system of Hindu religious philosophy [Thorndike Barnhardt]
~yoga: Skr. general term for spiritual disciplines in Hinduism [Columbia Encyclopedia]
~Swami: Skr. Title of respect of a (Hindu) Holy man or teacher. [Oxford World Religions]
~Guru: Skr. A teacher of worldly skills...more often of religious knowledge...liberation (Moksa). [Oxford World religions]
~Moksa: Release/liberation - the fourth and ultimate goal of Hinduism. [Oxf. World Religion]
~The first recorded evidence of the Skr. word "yoga" is found in the Vedas.
~Veda Skr. The most ancient sacred literature of the Hindus. [Webster's]
~Upanishads: Text in Hinduism which ends or completes the Vedic corpus (body of [Hindu] laws)[Oxf. World Religions]

that guy, literally, said nothing. i hate that bull shit spiritual crap.

"Until you actually get into water, if you’ve never been in water, it’s a new experience. You have to be open to that experience."

Well technically we have all been in water before we were born.
I hate New Age type responses like this.

You can make up lots of them to sound like you are some trained healer/ Shaman blah! blah!

Some can sound even dumber than his response. Some wise or just plain Obvious as in, DUH!

"Until you actually breath air, if you’ve never drawn a breath, it’s a new experience. You have to be open to that experience."

"Until you actually get in shit, if you’ve never been in shit, it’s a new experience. You have to be open to that experience."

"Until you actually get laid, if you’ve never been laid, it’s a new experience. You have to be open to that experience."

"Until you actually walk on water, if you’ve never been on water, it’s a new experience. You have to be open to that experience."

and on and on... see it is easy to make up stupid statements.
