Selling Yoga
A rather intellectual look at the evolution of yoga to the current day. Very interesting for for those yogis (and we all are yogis in my mind) that want to look at the perspectives on this “thing”, the expression called – Yoga.

Read MoreThe Yogi as artist
Imagine if you will a ‘few’ thousand years ago and a group of yogis are sitting around in a glade near the Holy Ganges talking it up on the shape of the world, and their chakras and the “Why-are-we-here?” and “Who-am –I?” questions that we still explore to this day.
