Late in August, YogaCityNYC, a New York yoga blog, sent me to Omega for their Being Yoga conference. There, I interviewed a lot of high-profile yoga teachers---Shiva Rea, Gurmukh Kaur Khalsa, Dharma Mittra, Sharon Gannon and David Life, Tias Little---about what they thought of their status in the yoga world. (Rodney Yee was there, too, but he wasn't giving interviews.) Rodney Yee and Colleen Saidmain, photographed by Michael O'Neill for Vanity Fair, June 2007 I also interviewed Glen Black who has taught and practiced for 38 years but in contrast to everyone else, has actually avoided the spotlight.The result of my weekend in Rhinebeck, NY? An article on celebrity yoga teachers. What do we do with them? What do we think about them? Is a media-friendly yoga teacher a natural outcome of yoga's presence in America's consumer culture? Turns out the peaceful yoga crowd at Omega had a lot to say, as well...Read the article and send in your thoughts.... had any experiences with"celebrity" yogis?
