Is Yoga Ruining Your Life?

“On a cold Saturday in early 2009, Glenn Black, a yoga teacher of nearly four decades … was giving a master class at Sankalpah Yoga in Manhattan. Black is, in many ways, a classic yogi: he studied in Pune, India … [and] is known for his rigor and his down-to-earth style. But this was not why I sought him out: Black, I’d been told, was the person to speak with if you wanted to know not about the virtues of yoga but rather about the damage it could do.”
 — The beginning of this weekend’s NYT Mag long-read, “How Yoga Can Wreck Your Body,” is funny if you misread that as a different Glenn B.
