"Yoga is big business. Its worth $10bn a year in America alone. Does
the growth in yoga's popularity, particularly in the West, mean that its
spiritual content and religious roots are being neglected? Can yoga be
practised aside from these roots? Are there even dangers in doing so?
Ernie
Rea is joined by Jim Mallinson from SOAS, University of London, Suzanne
Newcombe from the charity Inform and Ramesh Pattni from the Hindu Forum
of Britain."
