On Six Reasons To Ignore The 'New York Times' Yoga Article
@Brave New World Yoga, as traditionally practiced is not simply a form of exercise, that is the Westernized version. For many, including myself, it is the the practice away from asana's (movement) that are the most beneficial. Western yoga is already so different from traditional yoga, but the core idea - that it is a spiritual practice rather than a fitness practice is true for many. In direct contrast to your statement, I have found the teachers that bring the most spirituality to their classes are also the practitioners with the most experience, both personal and professional training. I know some equate yoga with new age practices - but its ridiculous to call a documented process that 500 years old "New Age" - and to assume that something is wrong with it.
To quote the article - The problem with yoga (in the United States) is not yoga...
Namaste.
