Oh yeah..this is the same guy that is, “gonna train HARDER THE BUDDHA to reach Enlightenment in one lifetime.” coach ilg sleeping away in a nap, his chances for Enlightenment while Temple Cat Being Charlie seems unperturbed by coach’s flagrant violation of yogic work. “Hey, it was a long workout and, well, at least i fell asleep with my YogaToes� on!” rationalized Coach.

“In yoga the development of inner strength is traditionally said to be impeded by six factors: overeating; excessive exertion; acting in ways that shock the body and dissipate one’s energies, such as taking a cold bath in the morning, eating at night, or eating only fruit;� the excessive company of people; irregularity or unsteadiness in one’s practices; and oversleeping.� The last – immoderate sleep – produces sluggishness, dulls the mind, obstructs the memory, and dissipates one’s physical and spritual strength.� Sleep in the daytime increases the three doshas and should be strictly avoided.� Ideally the {sincere} student should rise in the morning at dawn or about 4 am. {known as the Hour of Brahma or Brahmamuhurta}.� �With some effort, rising early will not be difficult but will become as natural as rising late.”
– Swami Rama
