The Ayn Rand/Lululemon predic-ridic-ament is gathering steam, with people in the yoga world outraged (and probably the same amount unfazed) over the “Who is John Galt?” shopping bags and subsequent alignment with what some deem controversial, or “non-yoga” philosophies. The quote is from Rand’s 1957 novel Atlas Shrugged, which is considered by some as the “bible [...]

Unity.” Other celebriyogs like Russell Simmons, Deepak Chopra and yoga hootenannier Michael Franti joined the cause.

It’s about that time again…election time! And that jolly bunch of folks on capital hill are chomping at the bit to secure the 37 Senate seats up for grabs this November. Naturally, this calls for action! Press conferences! Funny politician-isms like describing things that “give taxpayers the blues.” According to GOP Senators Tom Coburn of Oklahoma [...]

Fox News have been on a role lately…when not chasing the ‘making sex better’ yoga beat, they come through with an almost-as-sexy Michelle Obama + Harry Reid= presidential yoga duo! OK, not sexy (in the least), but it’s all for the kids, folks. As part of the First Lady’s “Let’s Move!” initiative to battle childhood [...]

“If you sweat this much in the morning, you will never get old.” Guess that guru! Nope it’s not Bikram. It is none other than India’s foremost Yoga Hero, Baba Ramdev. Not for nothing, but we kinda knew this guy was a big deal (we’ve mentioned his yogevangelism, cleansing of the gays, curing cancer, and [...]
