Great form of exercise

I think Clare Tyrrell missed the point in her article on the Fila Yoga Extravaganza, headlined 'Yearning for Yoga', which appeared in the South China Morning Post, on October 9.

Just about everything that human beings do is subject to fashion. Why should yoga be any exception?

It is a great thing that yoga is fashionable. This means that more people enjoy a great form of exercise and hopefully, also learn and enjoy the benefits of meditation.

And, just as things become fashionable, they must also, at some point, become unfashionable.

Yoga has been fashionable and unfashionable in the past as it surely will be in the future. That is inevitable.

Clearly it will survive this process as it has done before.
