“Eat, Pray, Love,” Elizabeth Gilbert’s bestselling book turned movie, is more than just a blockbuster hit. It’s become a stylish and trendy mega event especially amongst the 40-something crowd, spawning a jewelry line, a line of perfumes, a limited edition tea and an entire collection from fashion designer, Sue Wong.

India Moves to Protect Yoga
|
|
|
|
Come up with an original yoga catch-phrase or what you consider a new style of yoga? Thinking you might copyright or trademark your very own yoga-ism?

To address this trend, many yogis are finding ways to offer the gifts of yoga to the younger generation.
The newest campaign of the Yoga Health Foundation, coordinators of Yoga Month September, is called Yoga-Recess in Schools. The initiative is aimed at bringing yoga based health education into the classroom in hopes of impacting the growing trend of childhood obesity.
