Although I can't say I discourage people from reading it, I found it to be annoying. <br /><br />Written by a Pulitzer Prize-winning NYT reporter and yogi, it focuses on seemingly endless research proving that the fitness benefits of yoga are highly overrated and misrepresented, and the dangers understated. Then it makes a non-segue to the last chapter, which spends an inordinate amount of time talking about the connection between yoga and sex in great -- but to me, completely irrelevant -- detail. <br /><br />As you said, you can hurt yourself, no shit. But serious injuries relative to practice time are statistically insignificant. And I don't care what "research" says, it is always easy to find research to fit any conclusion. I -- and many others -- am walking proof of the fitness benefits.<br /><br />As for yoga and sex, well, whatever. Maybe it's good for your bedroom life, maybe not. All I know is that when I am trying to hold scorpion, the only banging I'm thinking about is my head.<br /><br />All in all I thought it was a stupid book. That's about the most concise review I can give.Michaelhttps://www.facebook.com/hotdogyoganoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8472650269693325361.post-10164724657073644032012-02-07T18:15:35.794-08:002012-02-07T18:15:35.794-08:00Am loving your two cents!
