Who Should Read DC Yoga Insider
According to a 2008 study by Yoga Journal an estimated 15.8 million Americans practice yoga. Seventy-five percent had been practicing for more than a year. More than nine million people intended to try yoga in the next year. In other words, most modern Americans are not religious ascetics.
American yogis are “householders” raising children, cleaning house, fighting traffic and balancing checkbooks. We are Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, agnostic or perhaps “spiritual.” We do yoga because it eases our back pain, lifts our droopy butts, calms our hornets-nest of fears, centers our hearts and makes us happy. Yoga may also open us up to the Divine, the Holy Ghost, Yahweh, or it may not. No matter. We just do it.
Namaste,
Diana V Morgan, Editor
