  Get your competitive juices flowing

The Mid-Atlantic regional yoga competition sponsored by Bikram Yoga is December 6 in Baltimore at Bikram Yoga Baltimore. More information in the Washington (Post) Express article.

I know, contests seem to be the antithesis of yoga's spirit, but it may bring some people to the mat. Bring your own towels.

And this news should be accompanied by this NY Times article: Is the Spirit of Competition in the Soul of Yoga?

I'm on the side of not being a huge fan of competition yoga. I just read a NYTimes article about this and, while I hear what they're saying about just hitting on the physical aspects, I think it might create some unhealthy yoga practices. Yoga is not a sport, nor is it competitive. Where's the love in this?

Cheers,

Emma

Many people hear voices when no-one is there. Some of them are called mad and are shut up in rooms where they stare at the walls all day. Others are called writers and they do pretty much the same thing.
