Meditation & Yoga Occupy Wall Street (Michael Franti, Deepak Chopra, Russell Simmons…)



A fascinating thing to watch as yoga becomes more popular not only as an individual practice, but as a unifying (peaceful) battle cry and demonstration of dissent. Controlled chaos and harmonized yoga for a better world. Namaste, peaceful warriors. – Yoga Dork

Protesting with Peace.

    Nice post, so great to see so many people embracing the yoga way!! Not only do I practice yoga, but my idea for my company popped into my head while in downward dog!! Yes, I know I need to clear my mind during class, but for me, yoga is also about thinking time. One of the few places, I have to myself– and oh how nice that is!!

    Keep spreading the word, and I will do the same with my cool line of USA made bags–
