Yoga: Al Jazeera comes to Los Angeles



() Devout Hindus in California are unhappy with the way American popular culture has commercialized their religion. They say the modern yoga movement has forgotten its deeper identity and profound spiritual roots. Moreover, it turns out many practitioners as well as yoga studios are "actively de-linking" yoga from Hinduism or any spirituality at all. Al Jazeera's Rob Reynolds reports from Berkeley, California.
  • The controversial but very reliable (or only slightly infiltrated) organization Al Jazeera English is now available in Los Angeles. There is a half hour segment on KCET (the local PBS station) as well as radio coverage on KPFK (90.7 FM) and KPCC (89.3 FM), both of which have worldwide free access to their audio archives for podcasting.
