The meaning of our self is not to be found in its separateness from God and others, but in the ceaseless realisation of yoga, of union; not on the side of the canvas where it is blank, but on the side where the picture is being painted.
“ALEISTER CROWLEY”
Yogi Wares Prada was an interesting presentation by our classmate Alexis Munoz, which brought a different aspect of private sector to my attention.
When I started practicing Yoga, I fell in love with the spiritual feeling of it, how yoga could present me with the fine well-rounded body movement as well as connecting my mind, body and sole together.
In class we discussed about various cultural, religion and traditional prospect of Yoga and how relevant/famous this exercise is becoming in the western world.
Some thought that there are people in America, which are taking advantage of spirituality, healthy routine and some thought we should not invade a holy enriching practices of other cultures.
So now that we know about various positive effects of this exercise, which is a great complement to our hectic life style, what recommendations do you have to reduce the behavior of private segments that are taking advantage of this great practice?
What do you suggest to enhance the promotion of structured, relaxing and consistent out look of Yoga?

The beauty of a country like the U.S. is that other cultures and traditions can be carried over and customized to suit people with money. The only problem is that for those people that have migrated from the places where these traditions are taken, it is seen as an exploitation. I recently saw some print at target that I know for sure came from Ghana. I was rather disgusted because the print is reserved for a particular kind of clothing and here it was sitting at target as a purse; I also saw that same print at macy's where it was a halter top. In any case, I had to let go, because granted they were making profit of of something that holds a high meaning for me, they also allowed me to express myself however I want, including my clothes and jewelry from home.
