as regular readers may recall, last week i had the privilege of taking a yoga workshop with rodney yee at jivamukti . ..

while waiting for the workshop to begin, one woman came through with this month's vogue magazine, which breathlessly reported that madonna had given up her ashtanga yoga and meditation practice for jujitsu. (to paraphrase vogue, "yoga doesn't do enough for your thighs and butt.") or perhaps she was responding to the current popularity of movies like crouching tiger, hidden dragon, and other hong-kong inspired action films.

which for me raises an interesting question: when the celebrities, supermodels, and oprahs of the world move onto the next fad, what imprint will yoga have left on our current society? any?
