The Stream

Finding balance

The Stream explores how yoga has become a global phenomenon.

Yoga is exercise, or is it meditation? Yoga is ancient, or is it innovative? These are questions often debated within the community. But what is not disputed though: the practice is more popular than ever and it’s a worldwide industry worth billions of dollars. So who actually owns yoga, and what is there to own anyway?
