Yoga spreads

The practice of Yoga has spread across the world like wild forest fire. People of every culture and continent are practicing Yoga, creating a sort of a global community, similar to the aim of the hippie movement in the west in the 1960s. It seems the reasons why the hippies tried Yoga, to find universal love and brotherhood is truly coming into being with the increased popularity of Yoga, except the drugs and indiscriminate sex has been renounced, and a more pure process has been revealed.

When Yoga first arrived in America, it was only the younger generation that took to it. In a mood of rebellion against the system they embraced anything that was alternative, being frustrated with the ways of the ‘adults’. The adults of that generation were skeptical with this new ‘fad of the east’ and thought of Yoga as too esoteric and probably not condusive to their modern lifestyle. How wrong they were, and how times have changed. Today yoga is not only being practiced by the older and aged people, it has replaced anti-depressants and anti-stress medication. People are taking to this holistic approach of Yoga; which cures physical and mental stress, reguvinating the mind and body of the practitioner.

Today Yoga culture is spread across the globe as new clubs and societies are opening every day in all parts of the globe. Yoga practitioners have created their own communities, living in them trying to follow the ancient way of life expounded by Yoga.

A whole new manufacturing industry has thus been born to cater to the needs of these ‘Yogis’, creating modern Yoga wear. They are very stylish and fashionable clothing, coming in various colors and designs. Today you can walk into a departmental store and ask for the Yoga wear section and will be guided to a section where you will find very colorful and beautiful Yoga clothes, designed for every type of person. This latest Yoga fashion is also spreading like a wild fire. To be seen in a Yoga club wearing sweat pants and a tank top is no longer ‘cool’. You have to be wearing the Yoga clothes being sold by the manufacturers, and shall then not only be a practitioner of Yoga, but a fashionable one at that!

As the teachings of Yoga spreads through the internet, more and more people are joining Yoga clubs….wearing the latest Yoga wear!
