These articles on yoga selfies deserve more of an open debate. Why is no one mentioning B. K. S. Light On Yoga? Its a whole book of selfies. Iyengar only teaches ten postures from that book. Its purely for promotion. Or why should we accept some early practitioners display of asana with no understanding of yoga mimicking an advanced posture. At least Kino knows yoga. She has practiced daily under the guidance of her Guru and has been blessed to teach, shes the youngest certified female by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois and she has completed Advanced B with Sharath. I admit doing a handstand in the middle of Tokyo doesnt represent yoga but if a small fraction of her tens of thousands of followers actually feel inspired to learn the real meaning of yoga and a small fraction of those aspirants go to Mysore and make a connection with Sharath and yoga becomes a true part of their life, isnt she doing a valuable service? John Lennon was thrashed for making the statement, the Beatles are popular then Jesus! People burned their records, made Lennon the anti-Christ. But Lennon was right, due to TV and news papers, magazines, telephone, and the ability to travel by car, plane or train and go around the globe in a couple of days, they were more popular and had the ability to reach more people in a much shorter span of time. Isnt that what we are seeing now with social marketing? Theres good and there is bad. At least Kino And David are proper sources of information. They are doing their best to help and inspire people. If social marketing didnt work, they couldnt travel the world and teach what they know and love. You cant stop progress, does anybody still have a cassette player? Its pointless, you can resist but on the end it will take over. I wish there were CD stores!! I wish I could go to a record store owner and discuss music and discover new bands, obsolete!!! But that doesnt change my love and passion for music, it doesnt change how music soothes my soul, I just need to adapt. And I believe thats whats happening with yoga.
