Just saw this notice of yet another type of mega yoga studio.
Stroga might just offer the best cooldown, too. Post-workout, after changing in the women's or men's locker rooms, exercisers are welcome to head to the couch-filled lounge area for tea and fruit on the ground floor, or hang out on the “chill platform” next to the functional training area — there's a big TV and a ridiculously good view.
Add in Wi-fi, plus the promise of a roof deck in a few months, and people might never want to leave. (Although they'll have to when special events are scheduled. The place is already reserved for a June wedding.)

My comment is that this type of place is great. But this has nothing to do with yoga.

Form based yoga (Iyengar, Mysore, Vinyasa, etc. ) is trying to modify consciousness by forcing the outer form of the body to conform to a predetermined type of position (asana) with the emphasis placed on correct alignment as determined by a consensus view of what an asana should look like if done properly.

What a fascinating development. Sugar pills beat the compounded drugs in an increasing number of trials.
The upshot is fewer new medicines available to ailing patients and more financial woes for the beleaguered pharmaceutical industry. Last November, a new type of gene therapy for Parkinson’s disease, championed by the Michael J. Fox Foundation, was abruptly withdrawn

An 18-year-old has secretly painted a 60ft drawing of a phallus on the roof of his parents' £1million mansion in Berkshire. It was there for a year before his parents found out. They say he'll have to scrub it off when he gets back from travelling.

Our habitual patterns of cravings and addictions leave traces in the subtle body, as well as alaya, and because of the subtle body, samskara imprints are left in the body itself.
IT seemed too real to be mere coincidence – and it brought joy to Kaden Delaney’s family.
Kaden’s parents Greg and Shelley spent two years finding

Really…. free bicycles! This is the greatest boon-doggle ever to hit the earth. The twits at this conference could not care less about their carbon foot print…. They just want to make money from you in a way that will keep the money rolling in to them pretty much indefinitely.
Free bicycles are available on loan.

Just now did a search on the CNN website for any story of theirs mentioning “climategate”. Here is what I got:
Your search climategate did not match any documents

The construction of this experiment is really flawed. A dog takes a while to really bond with a human, and they will bond to someone who takes them in, without any consideration of the deceptiveness or truthfulness of the human.
In the latest experiments, scientists assigned 24 dogs of various breeds to deceptive and trustworthy individuals.

Notice the last sentence in this excerpt. The commercial application of these studies is the primary focus of all anthropology. It looks like the negative has a much more powerful emotional kick than fluffy positive statements.

I’m not exactly sure what the phrase “evolutionary implication” is doing in the paragraph about the function of odor and consciousness and memory.
