“FAT YOGA” (October 11, 2014)
Thus The Guardian today. “Why yoga isn’t just for skinny people,” elaborates the newspaper. I skipped the article, it goes without saying. Yoga is for everyone, to be sure. The very argument is pointless from the start. But I am still amazed by the proliferation of words that go with the word “yoga” nowadays. Anything goes, or so it appears. Think of any word and attach it to the magical word. And presto, there are aficionados galore. The key word is “yoga,” and any word attached to it is immediately propelled into the stratosphere. Until the word “yoga” becomes despicable all by itself on account of so many words attached to it more or less at random. When will that happen? It is a matter of years, I would guess. But I am not complaining. Far from it. At long last, yoga will be rid of all the idiots that flock to it today. Hooray!
