Which yoga programs offer a personal success plan these days?

Even though yoga is more fashionable than ever, at times it can seem a little hollow – at least, as it's offered by many of the less holistic programs out there. That's why Dahn Yoga offers personal success plans, community-centered healing and warm, caring, interpersonal connections.

After all, if we don't make yoga what it's supposed to be, who will?

That question is implied in a recent article written by yoga expert Justin Hakuta and published by the Huffington Post. In it, the author laments that yoga seems to be becoming more and more a game of consumerism and fashion, especially with the recent explosion of yoga clothing brands and trendy accessories.

Speaking rhetorically, Hakuta asks, "Has commercialization diluted the practice to the point of triviality, becoming just another easily bought, packaged and sterilized commodity? In other words, has yoga lost its soul?"

Fortunately, his answer to his own question is: no, it hasn't. However, yoga students have to be pretty discerning these days in order to pick a program that offers genuine healing, regardless of fashion.

This may mean doing a little homework – that is, visiting Dahn Yoga community centers, talking to current students and listening to personal success stories.
