Things to do on a fine Saturday afternoon in downtown English Cardiff? There are a lot of options: shopping, walking in pubs, going to the cinema, theater, museum, to an exhibition of rabbits or a sports match - but you never know what! But the people who gathered for a flash mob in front of the central city library at two o'clock in the afternoon were confident in their desires and united in their impulse: yoga, and only yoga.
The Hayes - this is the name of the central district of Cardiff - was in full swing last Saturday (February 12) in anticipation of the beloved British sporting event - the Six Nations Cup (rugby) - and Valentine's Day, too. It is not surprising that at first no one attached importance to the most ordinary crowd of casual English townspeople with some kind of trunks. But when they simultaneously laid out these trunks and removed the rugs from them, everyone immediately realized that this was no joke.
What if they are radical Islamists, and they are going, having performed the last prayer, go to heaven with a piece of the library ?! But such suspicions lingered in the minds of the audience for a short while, because the participants in the flash mob immediately started the most peaceful of the classes - yoga. Slowly stretching and gaining a full chest of Cardiff prana, casual yogis reminded everyone present that you can simply enjoy the world and be in harmony with it - even in the middle of the rushing people in the center of a big city.
Looking at the guys in camouflage pants and berets in the background, it might seem that the "yogis" are protesting against the wars with a peaceful Vedic demonstration. But in fact, serious camouflaged guys have nothing to do with the military: they simply collect donations for the benefit of the RNIB - an organization of the blind and visually impaired people in Great Britain. We can only hope that as a result of the flash mob that turned up nearby, they did not miss too many fees - especially since, in accordance with the well-established unwritten laws, seven minutes after the start of the mob, not a single yogi remained on the square.
Sometimes, watching on TV at the bloody demonstrations of demonstrators against the authorities, and especially the authorities against demonstrators, I really want mass yoga classes to be able to solve political problems. Say, fantastic? Mahatma Gandhi has something to object to this. But this is another story, but for now it remains to summarize that the flash mob of yogis turned out to be very relevant.
