Yoga, American Style:
http://www.nytimes.com/roomfordebate/2012/01/12/is-yoga-for-narcissists/when-high-achievers-do-yoga
Suketu Mehta wrote the article using an ironic approach to criticize the way Americans practice Yoga. He
thinks that instead of managing every day’s stress and relaxing, some Americans practice Yoga to show off! He
condemns competition between people while practicing Yoga and the fact that Americans practice only one
type of Yoga which is the least important among many. He tries to transmit the message that Yoga is a sport to
clear people’s mind, help them focus, distress and become better citizens and positive people, instead of sport
where you compete to be the best and consequently hurt yourself.
