What You May Not Know About Yoga by Ed & Deb Shapiro: Informative article succinctly describing the five branches of yoga: Bhakti, Karma, Jnana, Raja, Hatha, plus bonus information about Tantra. PS Tantra yoga is not just about sexuality. Shucks.
What’s a Sadhu with You? : In Hinduism, sadhu (see picture) is a common term for an ascetic or practitioner of yoga (yogi) who has given up pursuit of the first three Hindu goals of life: kama (enjoyment), artha (practical objectives), and even dharma (duty). The sadhu is solely dedicated to achieving moksha (liberation) through meditation and contemplation of God. Sadhus often wear ochre-colored clothing, symbolizing renunciation.
Study reports that 40% of Americans Tap Into Alternative Healing Methods: The latest survey…found “significant increases” in some types of complementary and alternative medicines including deep breathing exercises, meditation, massage therapy and yoga. GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO YOGA!
