This article is about the legal feud between Baron Baptiste and his business partner, Rolf Gates and is another example of the fact that yoga is not invulnerable to the greed and viciousness of corporate practice. Yoga in the Western world is in its infancy by comparison to yoga in its Eastern home and it has rapidly turned into another limb of the fitness industry, yoga for better abs, for a better ass and for more $$$....

I am developing an online yoga studio myself, and find myself keenly aware of the danger of corporately motivated yoga...I am doing my project to make money, sure, I want to be able to sustain the life I want by selling yoga online; however, I endeavour and am dedicated to presenting yoga in its entirety as a lifestyle practice as well asana practice, as well as history and limbs of yoga that do not require movement, such as jnana yoga and karma yoga. I hope for myself and my project that I am able to balance asana practice with karma yoga and present the practice as a whole, and provide service in the process.
