NYTimes.com: How Yoga Won the West

Hello Yoga Friends:

Interesting article on how it got started in America. We may want to do some search and find if there was an earlier introduction. Also what Swami Vivekananda brought was more of the spiritual kind like we have in B.Gita in which each chapter's title has the appendix name of Yoga such as Jnana Yoga, Karma Yoga etc. but not the physical and mental exercise that Yoga in America means. 

Atul, you may want to circulate this to students.

Thanks.

S. Char
