Recent events in Missouri and Virginia have again how important it is for the yoga community to self-regulate. If it refuses to define itself, others will do so – and they will have interests such as regulation and taxation motivating them.

The question is: are we willing to begin consciously creating our own identity? It requires both knowledge of the tradition, and a clearly articulated vision of where we are going. It seems to me that the Yoga Alliance is our single best in-place tool for accomplishing this ambitious creative act – whatever its flaws.

Here, Dr. Seitz sets out all the relevant issues with clarity and balance.
