On the commodification of yoga

Who owns yoga? Check out this great little documentary from Al Jazeera, which asks questions about the appropriation and commodification of yoga. It’s a 45-minute jaunt across the UK, USA and India, offering glimpses into the world of a rave yoga subculture, Tara Stiles (who has dropped the word ‘yoga’ from her brand), and Indian yogi-politician Baba Ramdev.

There is a lot in this documentary that resonated with me. Tell me what you think!
