'Kiss my asana': why this yoga instructor believes peace comes from profanity

A yoga instructor in Prince George, B.C., believes the path to inner peace is outward profanity.

“It takes away the self-consciousness,” said Zandra Ross, the creator of the Peace Through Profanity program, which started this year.

“If everybody’s saying the F-word together, they’re laughing and they’re not thinking about how their bodies look.”

Ross’s desire to create a yoga class that encourages laughter and profane outbursts started after she had her own “bad experience” as a student.
