Ethics In Yoga: Georg Feuerstein Throws Down
In Yoga Morality: Ancient Teachings at a Time of Global Crisis, the prolific yoga author and archivist, Georg Feuerstein, throws down on the physically-fixated body orientation emphasized in yoga today. He's even bashing the fuzzy, delusional concepts and practices which often masquerade as spirituality and yoga today ("neo-tantra," anyone?). Bravo!
“It should not require much imagination to appreciate that a person can be superbly fit but mentally lethargic, emotionally insensitive, morally corrupt and spiritually bankrupt”
Georg Feuerstein, Yoga Morality: Ancient Teachings at a Time of Global Crisis
As an independent scholar, Feuerstein has compiled, written, and translated a wealth of books on yoga and yoga-related Indian/Eastern philosophies, presenting them clearly to a western audience. Now he's calling for more than a little lip service. It's all about the ethics. Walk the walk. The Dallas Morning News sports a little summary for us...

Thanks. Yep. Sometimes hair product seeps below the scalp and attacks the brains, good thing this chap combats these neurological invaders with mindfulness meditations.
