Yoga aiming for Olympic Competition?
There is an article today in the NYTimes about how the founders of Bikram Yoga are promoting international yoga competitions and their goal is to have yoga recognized as an Olympic sport. As you might guess, this is ruffling feathers in the yoga community. Yoga is reduced to the physical. Yoga is over commodified. It's all about money. It's all a competition.....
What do you think ? Read the article here : http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/19/fashion/19fitness.html?em
There is one comment by a NYT reader that I like (I paraphrase) : " my chi can kick your karma's butt !"
