"Still, the combination may appear to be odd to some. Consider the
warning labels on every beer bottle notifying drinkers of potential

to prevent the same potential illnesses warned about on those beer
bottles. But perhaps the two together create a certain harmony. It's a
yin to the yang, so to speak."

In a Land of Spiritual Seekers, Kundalini Teacher Guru Jagat Is Rising
Above Them All
http://www.lamag.com/longform/in-a-land-of-spiritual-seekers-kundalini-teacher-guru-jagat-is-rising-above-them-all/
"The demise of Golden Bridge was sparked, many believe, by the actor
Russell Brand, who felt the studio was treating his teacher Tej Kaur
Khalsa unfairly. One morning in January 2013, Brand came to class and,
in protest, led his fellow 200 students out the door—an act he
gleefully dubbed a “yoga coup” in the recent documentary Brand: A
Second Coming. A few months after the Pied Piper-like walkout, RA MA
opened, and Tej Kaur Khalsa began teaching there."

Benefits of Yoga May Go Bone-Deep
http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2015/12/21/12-minutes-of-yoga-for-stronger-bones/
"Yoga enthusiasts link the practice to a long list of health benefits,
including greater flexibility and range of motion, stronger muscles,
better posture and balance, reduced emotional and physical stress, and
increased self-awareness and self-esteem.
"But definitively proving these benefits is challenging, requiring
years of costly research. A pharmaceutical company is unlikely to fund
a study that doesn’t involve a drug, and in any event, the research
requires a large group of volunteers tracked over a very long time."
