Come Om With Me - the yoga thread

[LCHammer]

Following on from the Yoga etiquette thread. I started yoga this week and I'm doing some catch up reading. It's a huge area so I'll just focus on doing a few basic things as best I can, for the time being. I'm also decluttering and cleaning. Is this a slippery slope? I have very little 'free' time.

I came across this article in Vanity Fair. It's from a few years ago and quite long but is a really interesting piece on the conflicts in yoga stemming from increasing commercialisation especially in the ashtanga community in the US, as well as some of the issues of lineage, authenticity etc. Some of the responses are quite interesting too.

That's an interesting article! Who knew the advanced practitioners are capable of such earthy feelings & actions. I also didn't know Vanity Fair did such lengthy articles and you can find proper stuff to read. Do thanks for that.
