Yoga Reduces Smoking Cravings
|
|
|
|
A recent study found that a single 30-minute session of hatha yoga reduced cravings to smoke among daily smokers.

NYC Bikram Studio Loses Yoga War
|
|
|
|
When Bikram Yoga Manhattan sent out their newsletter last week announcing studio closure of their Penn Station location, owner and director Raffael Pacitti lambasted nearby studios Yoga to the People (YTTP) for offering Bikram classes in all but name for over 50% cheaper, making it “impossible to continue.” The charges stem from Pacitti’s complaints that YTTP recently opened three locations within walking distance of Penn Station, offering “traditional” or “hot yoga” classes that are identical to Bikram from instructors untrained in the Bikram approach.
