Yoga & Happiness {http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Yoga

... just added MIT OCW resource on 'meditation' -

"A Meditation on Mediation: A Close Reading of Olivier’s Cough"

(http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/comparative-media-studies/cms-796-major-media-texts-fall-2006/assignments/ford2.pdf)

to World Univ & Sch's 'Meditation,' wiki subject -

http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Meditation -

to extend the concept of meditation here,

and in the direction of MIT ...


*

... will probably add to WUaS's wiki Yoga page - 'Shit Yogis Say' ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IMC1_RH_b3k ... :) ... http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Yoga ... right on ...


*

... added this article

"How Yoga Can Wreck Your Body"

(http://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/08/magazine/how-yoga-can-wreck-your-body.html),

and the author of this NYT's article William J. Broad's forthcoming book on the Science of Yoga

to World University & School's wiki, Yoga, subject page -

http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Yoga .

(WUaS is like Wikipedia with MIT Open Course Ware, with free Bachelors, Ph.D., Law and M.D. degrees planned, accrediting on MIT OCW).


SM: MK - did you see this? :)

MK: Yes, it's been making quite the rounds in yoga circles


Oh, Fer Crying Out Loud | Bernadette Birney: It's about yoga (sort of)

JL: yikes I've been doing Iyengar Yoga for a couple of years now

SM ‎... glad for a diversity of perspective such as Broad (and Glaser) articulate ... hope your body isn't too wrecked :) ... am interested in looking at Broad's upcoming book ...

JL well, running marathons did more damage.

From the land where yoga originated:

What to make of this?

"India: The Curious Case of Draping Statues to Ensure Fair Elections" ...

http://globalvoicesonline.org/2012/01/11/india-the-curious-case-of-draping-statues-to-ensure-fair-elections/

Ah, socioculture ...

... will add to World Univ & Sch's 'India,' subject page, -

http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/India -

which is the beginning of the India World University and School ...

Check out the video news story ... Youtube in India ...



*

... still enjoying the Relaxation Response ... http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Relaxation_Response ... especially in the Harbin warm pool :)

I'm so glad people are rigorously, and sceptically, questioning yoga and meditation, as well as practicing them, ~ and that both approaches are part of, and inform, World University & School.
