What are your thoughts about the way yoga today is What are your thoughts about the way yoga today is understood and expressed? Contemporary yoga sometimes barely acknowledges or resembles the ancient practice that was taken from India and adapted for the West. Goat yoga, I’m looking at you ... 👀 Influencers promoting yoga as a way to achieve a “beach body”, I’m looking at you too ... 👀 Does it even matter though, as more and more people are taking up yoga for better health?
