I would love to write a book on how yoga can bring people together. This morning I read a great article for those interested in yoga and romance.
Here is an excerpt from the story.
At the same time, Bruce was impressed with Sunny’s “low key, simple existence.” As the couple’s money relationship melded, Bruce was molting out of his Cincinnati doctor identity and becoming a full-time yoga instructor and acupuncturist. Yoga practice allowed him to be still, to relax, to find something with soul and spirit within the body. As his transition happened, so did his relationship to money. “I left half my stuff in Cincinnati,” Bruce grinned. “Then I lost the other half in the divorce with my first wife. And the thing was, my material goods were diminishing, but my happiness was increasing.” He estimates that now he makes about a third of what he did as a doctor.

After reading this article I am planning on mapping out different conditions yoga has helped. If anyone wants to supply personal experience and quotes just send me an e-mail or leave a comment.
This article discusses Pat Krentzin,Yoga, and Multiple Sclerosis.

“I am not an exercise person,” said Krentzin, who is in her 50s and lives in Farmington Hills. “I went one week and then I didn’t go the next week. I went again and missed the next few weeks, but now I would not miss a class.”

That is how Kristine Edwards feels when she is teaching her doga classes. Here is one of her quotes, “Some dogs aren’t as relaxed as you’d think, and most of them really enjoy it - they socialise with the other dogs in the class,” she says.
