To Spread Yoga

I keep running into these people who are mad about the mainstream trend in yoga and spirituality.  GET OVER IT.  If yoga brings people down a notch from their frantic, ego centered and antsy world and brings them even a tiny bit of compassion, calmness, inner peace and acceptenace, then it has done its job at making the world a better place.  Even the people that do it just for the bod and jump up and skip Svasana, it will most likely affect them in a positive way.  Just let go, let it evolve and flow and trust in its powers to heal all things and everything. If I were boss, I would make it mandatory in every school at every grade level k-12. So, please no more griping about the "mainstream trend" of all this eastern stuff. Do we really want it to remain an esoteric secret, to just a few? Its goal is to spread and heal the world, so let it flow and support it. If it makes some angry red neck in Oklahoma even a little more open to accepting the diversity in life, then great! (Some get mad that certain old traditons are not upheld...once again, let that go too..people can decide if they want to go deeper and study the roots after they get introduced and get their feet wet).
