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).
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.
"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."
@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."
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.
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:

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.
