More Yoga Talk in The Times

Capitalizing on the remarkable amount of back-and-forth conversation generated by last week's article on yoga injuries, including 734 comments on The Times' website (before commenting was closed) and a proliferation of blog posts elsewhere, The New York Times now brings us a "debate" of sorts on what it has identified as the primary nerve struck by the original article: yoga and the ego. Asking the question "How can we reconcile a spiritual practice with a fitness trend in a culture that already emphasizes the individual over the community?," Me, Myself and Yoga allows six different voices from the yoga world to have their say, which makes for interesting reading but doesn't really constitute a debate. Nonetheless, it's pretty rare to have so much attention focused on yoga in the mainstream media, so clickety click on over there.
