Who Owns Yoga? The people!…and the documentary is pretty interesting too…
Trying to answer the question, "Who owns yoga?" this Al Jazeera documentary is a pretty fascinating look at current trends in the yoga community, highlighting the variety and creativity of the modern yoga practice (which sort of drives me crazy sometimes, but to each their own...) as well as the tension between the ancient spiritual practice and the ancient never-ending desire to make a buck.
