Trip to America: Yoga Journal looks back in gratitude
to America's yoga pioneers.
"In
America is the place, the people, the opportunity for
everything new," wrote Swami Vivekananda before
he left India in 1893. Vivekananda had learned from
his guru, Sri Ramakrishna, that the world's religions
"are but various phases of one eternal religion"
and that spiritual essence could be transmitted from
one person to another. He set about to bring that transmission
to our shores. His first speech was at the World Parliament
of Religions in Chicago. "Sisters and brothers
of America," he began, and the audience was on
its feet, giving him a standing ovation. Our love affair
with the East was born, and so began a steady stream
of Eastern ideas flowing west. In 1920 Paramahansa Yogananda
came to address a conference of religious liberals in
Boston. He had been sent by his guru, the ageless Babaji,
to "spread the message of kriya yoga to the West."
Although his early works had unpromising titles like
Recharging Your Business Battery out of the Cosmos,
his 1946 Autobiography of a Yogi (Self-Realization Fellowship)
remains a spiritual classic." - Yoga

"Springtime
is magical, dynamic, and even sexy. As nature moves
out of the cold, wet, dark winter toward spring, the
pulse of life quickens, the earth warms, and blossoms
unfurl, reaching for the sun. Nature makes it look smooth,
but for us humans it's not as easy to transition gracefully
from one season to the next”especially from winter to
spring. More often we find ourselves feeling heavy and
sluggish, like a cranky bear reluctantly coming out
of hibernation". Yoga

Yoga's

Yoga
in hot room harmful:
"Every
day, in New York and Paris , Tokyo and Houston , students
grab towels, bottled water and rubber mats and enter
a very hot room. As the teacher calls out instructions,
they sweat profusely, performing a sequence of 26 postures,
repeated in every 90-minute class. ... Bikram or "hot"
yoga took root three decades ago. The Bikram Yoga College
of India in Los Angeles , named for its founder, Bikram
Choudhury, has 314 certified schools worldwide. More
