Yoga blossoming as economy drops leaves


Check this article out. It's interesting to see that during these time of change people are seeking "refuge from the storm" in Yoga.


"At the YogaWorks chain of studios in Manhattan, a short subway ride away from the doom and gloom of Wall Street, attendance is up 20 percent from last year. “The community genuinely wants to help each other in acts of kindness and compassion,” says Regional Manager Jill Bauman. “The networking is a great benefit.” “This has happened before — in the dot-com bust of 2000,” observes Tim Dale, owner and operator of the YogaTree family of four studios in San Francisco. “Many people had to make a huge adjustment [and] downsize. But in yoga we had a surge. Change often empowers people to do something positive for themselves."


I'm hoping the same trend is occurring here in Aotearoa.
