		<description><![CDATA[The New York Times just published an in-depth profile on celebriguru and former Ford model Tara Stiles titled &#8220;Rebel Yoga.&#8221; The article tries to spin her anti-yoga-establishment approach as some sort of Robin Hood Does Yoga &#8220;rebel&#8221; streak, making her out to be some sort of noble, ego-less avenger on a mission to take back [...]]]></description>

Inhale Yoga was made about 10 years ago, but it is still very popular! Inhale usually airs on the Oxygen television network but has been on hiatus. Ever since Inhale [...]]]></description>

I haven&#8217;t confirmed this for myself, but I have noticed yoga prices going up in Los Angeles. Yoga West, for example, used to charge $16 for a single class and it&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

Or do you have the opposite reaction, i.e., &#8220;Eeeuww, yoga has gotten so annoyingly trendy.&#8221; Or: &#8220;Great, I&#8217;ll never look like Cristy Turlington, so why bother.&#8221; Or is your reaction [...]]]></description>
