Yoga Licensing Issue: My Update on Yoga Dork

I'm excited to have a guest blog post on YogaDork today! Yoga Dork is one of my very favorite yoga blogs out there, covering yogic issues with sincerity, humor, pizzaz. (Others think kudos are due, too: YD got a great mention in Yoga Journal this month!) Thanks, YogaDork!The issue at hand: as you know, in early May, New York State launched a smack-down on yoga teacher training programs, suddenly requiring them to apply for costly licenses, and to cease and desist services until all paperwork was done. Needless to say, there was a big freak out.Lots has happened since then. To get the latest on the licensing issue, the changing case of characters, and the power of unity in yoga, go to yogadork.com and read my post!Hasta la vista (and watch for more guest posts on YogaDork about the licensing issue).

What is Yoga?

A few--just a very few--thoughts on what yoga is from the Web site and blog, yoga-abode.com. As the editor, London writer Lucia Crockcroft notes, no one can agree on a snug definition.

She says, "Perhaps it's sensible to follow the lead of yoga teacher Jo Stewart, and give up the pigeon-hole approach. "Yoga defies a rigid definition and is not practiced dogmatically", she says."
