9:00 pm
thank you now i'm a doctor. and i used to be a d.j. for 10 years and everyone in every club every. soldier everybody go to touch my sister 21st century version of a d.j. . come up it was for me radio is possibly the most unusual traditional yoga mixed with race culture minus the drugs and alcohol how do you know that this is still part of the ratios along. the way we were. seeing was really easy to. say. i mean we wanted to keep it that we'll build a little building up to this very traditional thing i say yoga and it was started
9:01 pm
to kind of get talky with. oh. going on the alleys that everyone has. all these new forms of yoga on just a fringe they represent a massive growth in the yoga market with international apparel companies like lemon athletica opening in downtown london to grab a piece. i think you know western mentality is a lot about business and how soon you come out and sell certain things right and that's very different from an eastern tradition and what you know that was originally and meant to be like even you know being in jail for a month earlier here looking to here is out there you know their image adapting the westerns and then in a way it's going to be seen they think it's hell it says. seeing and evolving and
9:02 pm
it's a matter of. integrity at what it was originally. but what was meant to be originally and how is it moving away from that i went to speak with stuart gilchrist who teaches a traditional and physically rigorous form of yoga. released into really straightforward. yeah. the aha. the won't do you. feel good about life is not a day like today that the. gymnastic time is but that's life it's what we do in years and never going to the highway what you like with your friends and your family what you're like in the restaurant how you are going to bicycle how you are
9:03 pm
at your work every day with your probably not just what happens not to do is run over and a half of the day it's also your because all of them. i think i was probably one of them was filing a pregnancy to post them i didn't do them right off the top they brought me brought up the heat. from feeling to fight the city i had a very serious accident and my daughter bike and i had to be a spinal injury and i was pretty much over my guilt is the stronger they're going to do and then opened my eyes to the broader picture of what you'll get the boys your good detachment. from everything mental and physical your possessions. and your desires your senses. everyone's attaching when you're going to their studios in gym and what have you there's all kinds of hybrid yoga coming out boxing yoga cycling yoga naked yoga all kinds of stuff of what your opinions on the. topic
9:04 pm
ideation and you consume and ideation of yogurt is appalling it's become so much of a business and become so much of a profit i've been referred to as the revenue stream or the us he might have a point when. 5050 you regret folks in the beer that i've got there you start a state of siege in the studio it's very interesting since you do not want to be on the road so. it was a really tough class it was a really tough class. because yoga is really about the mysteries of the universe's effect we're kind of commercializing this through and usually there isn't going to try to stay all absolutely just what to do about it we keep teaching we keep teaching something more from the old. i'm headed to the us where yoga was 1st popularized in the west it's one of the biggest yoga markets in the world it's mainstream fashionable cool glossy it's well
9:05 pm
american. hairstyles and it's all about work hard and playing hard i play the same philosophy doing yoga sanctioned and working. i believe in making my own rules and injecting fun and everything i do tara styles is symbolic of the modern transformation of yoga in america she's created her own form of yoga stronger and has marketing campaigns with the w. hotel and reebok joining me is the forget about the things that are getting i do it . the 1st person i put the 2 videos but you know mine like 2006 and all my friends are like that's so crazy i like what do you do we're going to make my friends back home but i backed away and i think the idea strikes what i do like here something you get out of your eyes with your palms you know bring it comes right into your heart to hear. the new york
9:06 pm
times describe you as you know the rebel made it and then do you see yourself and you know the rebel so the whole rebel you know got idea i think really came out of rebelling against the fact that it has to be in sanskrit or has to be super serious or it has to be has to be a certain way but if you look at. the approach of what we are doing it's it doesn't look rebellious it looks very simple and soft and it's all about ease and finding what works for you and it's very soft percent. higher. place isn't your thing you know you're you're quoted as saying why be when you can be fabulous. like her is that a correct well is part of the double you can do that indefinitely i read talk yes said this i mean i think the point is to get everybody talking it's like you know beings and i think is that is my point of view going to be like like you said connected with yourself i would think beings and it is fabulous you know it's the same thing but then you do and say about you can say you can let's be zen and
9:07 pm
fabulous so are you know fine i think but i think it's changing the perception and speaking to the people that have had abuse from the community it's like oh you went in and they said you're not this and said hey let me put a blanket over you i mean people have been like humiliated by the you know the community thing there's a little bit a sense in the younger industry of sort of holier than thou. you know i don't know going to sit around like complain about if i just think it's more important you know help people to feel better like so you're saying it's like stripping out i don't know the sanskrit the indian spirituality maybe i don't know and i. truly how would you like took the name you know got out of my company a couple years ago nobody noticed so it's a struggle. but you to feel sure so what i was taking i think it's a new definition it's an evolution of you know that you know i mean who are we really answering to. who are we ultimately answering to india ancient yogis can india still claim yoga as its modern cultural heritage. of the hindu
9:08 pm
american foundation seems to think so in 2010 they launched a take back yoga campaign to raise awareness about yoga's roots says obviously but i'd be too if it was considered you know the father rushed on it is the. direction to come under for a lot of these he's considered by the supreme yogi and master of mustard here yeah . one. thing. they need right is a matter that people should recognize as a hindu practice is that a 1st thing to say i like the term rooted in hindu thought because when you say it's a hindu practice it gives the impression that people have to convert you know your average person thinks of him who isn't as caste cows and karma and they have political arms and all the bull heads what your spouse is is this pluralistic view
9:09 pm
you know that anybody can do it the same way that him there was and has this pluralistic view of anybody can reach divine what's happened is that people have forgotten that you're going to is much more than just exercise we have seen so many manifestations i guess and we're seeing it in the kind of society we live in now when the something stop becoming you know i think that a lot of the new forms of yoga are there not yoga america's great at like taking what it likes from different cultures and then just like making it its own and i feel like that's a little bit of what's happened with yoga like it's kind of made it into its own version of yoga. who. already owns. this for everyone but the hindu roots is definitely rooted in hindu philosophy. i'm just like confused because i'm a hindu i'm
9:10 pm
a hindu by me because of the way i was raised and i believe in you know the general teachings of hinduism but i'm a very open minded individual. but i can understand what she thought was saying i really understood it that a lot of what yoga teaches us is what him the wisdom teaches us they're the same thing so i'm conflicted now because. i want yoga to be a secular thing the problem is if yoga is seen as a hindu practice it might drive people away from it i think it's the variety and diversity of yoga that makes it so popular it fits the practitioner. barstow population $23000.00 halfway between los angeles and las vegas in the heart of the californian desert it's an unlikely place to be doing yoga but i'm not here to do just any yoga i'm meeting the ladies appraise moves
9:11 pm
a christian alternative to yoga this is a very true as my husband and i got married and he never thinking he would be a pastor you know i went to yoga class in kansas ok and i you know i can do any of my you know what i'm here yeah it's such a workout it is hard i came and i asked my husband i don't want to offend and yeah you know but i said hey can i do a yoga class and barstow i know they have can i do it and he said wait a minute it all sounds from a religious. you know hindu you know we're not we're not you know and we respect you guys sure we're just not yeah absolutely yeah and so he got on the internet and he found this laura well this priest my. where you do similar positions but we quote scripture your body is the temple of the holy spirit who is in you whom you have received from god you are not your own you were bought at a price therefore honor god with your body 1st corinthians 619 and at 5 real to
9:12 pm
seattle we have prayed to. take care of our bodies and learn scripture and get in on this going to join our class today that's really exciting. is stephany's and then to. for ok we're going to start with mount zion posture and let's roll our shoulders cakes we've been sitting for a while. the strikes the movements of the arms who are here the skin nice movements back and for they're going to come forward reaching down kind of like a windmill in this good if we could all go the same way effect a fervent prayer for prayer of a righteous man all right avails much of it was my shame 516 by 16. i'm doing yoga poses while reciting biblical scripture i don't have any problem with the exercise but i find the whole situation rather odd it looks and feels like yoga but is it. 33 for. we
9:13 pm
certainly are aware that it looks like yoga you know that's totally fine if people say that but we believe yoga is a spiritual practice and we're not doing now there are thank you here and are saying. we can all pray. we just think you are that's really all we have to say they're not some god and we appreciate you giving us your word so we can move our bodies and say healthy. the debate over whether yoga is religious isn't just limited to the walls of churches and temples in america it's found its way into the courtrooms to. give appearance and incentives to california have their own warrior stance on free classes being taught in their school district saying yoga is a form of the sheriff's in this room that don't want yoga taught and practiced in
9:14 pm
the interview to school districts say that it cannot be separated from religion children were being allowed through sun salutation and while being asked questions about why they were thankful to the sign they were being asked to thank the sign for things they were lied to and something called a number a circle where they were asked to acknowledge the white and each other and what i found was that they were not at all talking just about actor science they were talking about teaching children a life skills based on your. about the almost a direct quote you know the whole lot the feeling is the very specifically religious philosophy the big story here is that america has been sold a lot i you know is being marketed deceptively dean broyles is a lawyer who represented the pair. and their lawsuit against the end sinitta school district american started say oh i can adopt this and exercise because we like to be healthy and they think that by removing the meditation the sanskrit terms that that suddenly transforms yoga into
9:15 pm
a non-religious practice but social science research has proven that just doing the poses and just doing yoga breathing is enough to cause spiritual transformation so have you ever done yoga before by accident actually you know not possible to well you know if it was just 2 moves i think it appeared 90 video ok yes i realize later were were i think one of them was a downward dog and i think one pose was a warrior pose and i realized later that those are yoga poses and so i don't do that anymore but if you call your god it's just a pose right if you're going to take you away from god if you do that pose when i know i'm not going to find that out because i've stopped doing it. but if you asked hindus in india if you was religious what do you think they would tell you i think you'd get a mixture of answers to be honest with you why i think the vast majority would say yes it is children all over in c.d.'s are spontaneously at birthday parties playgrounds on at weekdays and weekends getting into the lotus position putting
9:16 pm
their hands in the shonar mudra and and meditating. it seems to me the dean broyles and the n.c. need a school case is part of a larger cultural war in america and it's hard for me to see young get dragged into that battle back in l.a. my friend karen invited me to her neighbor's 4th of july party and i suspect dean would have had a problem with what was going on there for 1st tonight in america and i couldn't ask for a better player up or americano those kids to build a great bridge using the kids or the ultimate yogis. living in the moment i saw her do we have to learn a lot of what it. was .

9:23 pm
can hear you 3 to one and a whole take it up down the back plot hole 3 to one i told you the only oldies over there all doing all the different kind of other cool. q. limerick over here though you know because they're going to love the energy of that like i would if i saw someone who when i was the i did come over here because i was i want to be a part of that it's awful that your. addie. i mean a lot of money and professional wrestling really towards the end of my career in the game to be getting for years but. he has already doubled everything i've made there i'm not trying to change yoga in any way i'm trying to change the way people look at the work you know that's it it ain't so mom of the yoga. and. one thing is for sure the opportunity for money in yoga is changing the way people
9:24 pm
think about yoga and maybe even the way they're practicing it according to a recent yoga journal study there are 20000000 yoga practitioners in america and over 40 percent of i don't say they want to practice at a yoga journal conference in san diego business is booming. cool with it. it's just simulate. paddleboard on the water we just do it. all out in 1st thing i am attracted to a growth industry that's where you're going to expand and you're going to make some money. is obviously one of those it is because you remember when he can go out and go yeah gotta go in. this appears to be 1st a booth where i can get my picture taken. and put on the cover of a yoga journal it's kind of cool. so i came here i was like
9:25 pm
a lot of people just know but you know too much but now i'm like a kid in a campus i'm totally falling for you know all these like products that. you know are from a. spiritual materialist. saccharine and we've shown it very much so those people are there they're not in this necessarily to you know to make money there or they're trying to spread the joy of it but the same time for us to exist we have to be a business and we're going to get as more and more people capita. lies on the growth of yoga that means being competitive in the business world one area hotly contested today is intellectual property ownership. in the yoga world the battle over intellectual property started in 2002 when big 3 tried to copyright his sequence of 26 poses in a heated room big room is arguably one of the most influential and controversial names in yoga today with over $900.00 affiliated studios around the world he's
9:26 pm
facing allegations of sexual misconduct from former students and criticism over his efforts to copyright his secrets but i want to mark droste is a former student who spent many years teaching at the become school in l.a. when he left to start his own studio he was sued by big room he sued us on many different fronts many false charges but the core of it the goal of it was to get us tied up in court on the issue of the sequence and a summary judgment was won on our part to dismiss that idea because it's very clear that there is no such thing as a copyright protection for a yoga sequence and united states law one company that successfully got a patent for its approach to yoga is yoga glow a leader in online yoga classes they patented the way in which their classes are filmed derek males is you know the clothes founder this is a knife this is where we hold our classes we have this set up such that
9:27 pm
the camera is at the back of the room and he wanted to create an experience that was you know not like a filming studio recording studio is that the placement of the camera and the height is that sort of relevant yeah yeah the there are a variety of specifications of the camera placement the high court or the details of the court or and there are other specifications as well ok you know them off the top your head. and i don't want you know i think i'll leave a lot of numbers involved i'll leave that to the intellectual property turned. a lot of work goes into the entire class creation process to make sure that you know what people experience online is a high quality safe experience it's a look and feel that people have associated with yoga class and it's a look and feel that we certainly plan to protect last year goodloe did set out to enforce its intellectual property rights they informed
9:28 pm
a competitor yoga international did some of its yoga videos would be in violation of their pending patent. we received a letter from a from a legal firm who was representing an organization called the older glow a letter essentially said that we were in violation of their pending patent is come to our attention that yoga international operates the web site you're going to national dot com which streams in on line fitness classes that mimics the method and techniques set forth in yoga goes u.s. patent application which is enclosed for you reference the patent is pretty straightforward i mean they've patented putting a camera in the back of a yoga class room having an aisle down the center which seems fairly obvious because there are now you would be able to see this the teacher and pressing play and that doesn't seem to a lot of people like a particularly novel idea or something that's really worthy of an invention which is what patents are for protecting intellectual property rights of inventors are
9:29 pm
you trying to patent your own style of shooting a class now here at this organization the truth is we've thought about whether it's prudent to seek to patent our own camera angles because what happens if those get taken up i mean it leads to those types of questions. how do we know what's going to be left if we don't do it what you would think would be the most important thing is what is the quality of the teaching you're giving are you doing something that is helping people are you doing some of it is not helping people but this doesn't even look at that this is looking out what camera angle you feeling from it's not even about yoga at all it's really about this core business but it has deep reaching implications into what the future of yoga is going to look like yoga glow has an impressive repertoire of classes and teachers but owning a camera angle and stopping others from filming a certain way seems to me like it could prevent people from sharing yoga and besides people have been filming yoga this way for more than 20 years i showed derek a video of pataki joyce teaching yoga. at that video was shot in 1903 clear central
9:30 pm
as you can see obviously the mats are in a different place but i don't see how that's different from your patent so the mats are configured differently well they are configured different but so basic what you're telling me is the difference. is the configuration of your math correct but the math is facing you know forward and you know in parallel to the corridor or you are transformed your you're taken into the studio with with real students there may be other differences relative to what you don't understand people saying how is that an invention can you can you understand how people would ask that question i would encourage you to go look at the specifications of that and because there are you know variety of them a few weeks after filming this interview derek published a blog post saying that yoga glow has forfeited its patent however he says they will continue to protect the look and feel of their online classes which to me
9:31 pm
sounds like just another approach to owning yoga. not everyone whose contribution to the evolution of yoga feels they need to protect it brazilian born harmony tri is a respected yoga teacher in new york city he's been practicing yoga postures for decades and he's even created some of his own offering them as a gift to the world with a pleasure to meet you i'm busy doing like i have to practice so like quite a few. i have a hand is that like i'm i'm not saying i create but due to lots of practice these variations came but i don't say he belongs to dominate
9:32 pm
this is universe he's from yoga not from dharma i don't have any ego here. egress and the 2nd cause a pang is suffering is very different good but everything i do i think is that perfect you understand i think here in this physical plane. impossible to do something perfectly but of course deep inside you have your good intention to do it perfectly and do your best so that's the main thing i don't care about very sour. on hold on. did you go to study in india or where did you who do you know consider i never been
9:33 pm
named in my life. watch the part i love i want to see all of this holy place but that is appalling to me oh go on your find something shy that you knew you wrote on the lie on the other line while roots and. i was heading to india to the roots of yoga before going i spent an afternoon with sharon dan and david life at their home in upstate new york we're looking for a cat totem so we've been told. if you do yoga you've most likely heard of them they're the founders of jeevan mctee a widely practiced yoga method no god must atsugi no obama into means may all beings each and everyone everywhere be happy and free and may the thoughts
9:34 pm
words and actions of our own life contribute in some way when we started teaching yoga was not a career in fact it was seen as kind of where losers might have a possible last chance to do something in their life you know because they didn't have anything else going and it's not that now it's the big business it's a big business and the career of choice traditionalist on the one hand and innovators on the other david and sharon have turned to yoga into activism animal rights and veganism in particular a yoga someone who was striving to live in harmony with the earth with the environment with other animals like a fairy had yeah never entered yogis were not supposed to become involved in politics or activism of any sort they should be passive self-satisfied and content in their little lotus hut right. our students come to class yeah and they find peace but then they go out and they make peace all over the west has turned into
9:35 pm
a purely physical practice what are your thoughts on that and do you think even the physical practices is a good place no such thing as a purely physical practice that's the 1st there we need to have a new perspective so that no longer is spirituality in opposition to physicality but that nature and the world the earth is seen as a spiritual place as well. and mother oak tree nectar oh yeah for put it on your phrase. grandmother oak tree i speak on behalf of humanity you forgive our bumbling ness and you guide us so that we can live more kindly on this planet and enhance all of life on this earth yes we were tree huggers and we're not ashamed.
9:36 pm
for many in the yoga community india isn't just a country it's a place to find yourself to find wisdom the birthplace of yoga for me india is all of those things and a part of my heritage. you would think yoga has always been popular in india but like in the west europe has experienced a resurgence in recent years and no one appeared in my says that revival more than swami ramdev he's a household name in his yoga is a political one he's an outspoken supporter of the nationalist party a jump of party and prime minister narendra modi who himself practices yoga and recently spoke about its benefits at the united nations. the b.g.p. won a landslide victory in the last general election so i mean rahm dave was credited with bringing people out to vote get on the ballot york run the. risk about them
9:37 pm
make a very generic run. but he wanted them to leave them in the yard or. did on the ground that was. genetic granted will be genetic but he would be all there. but yoga is facing the same political battles in india as in america the supreme court in india is now considering whether yoga is secular and should be taught in schools so i mean dave thinks it should your busy honey get your honey. or your secrecy got my 70 without. your 100 percent secular secular trek to school going to mark but they get. the battle isn't only over the secular nature of yoga it's also about national heritage in response to us
9:38 pm
copyright claims the indian government has taken steps to create a traditional knowledge database of yoga poses to prevent anyone from trying to own yoga yoga your but you seek out corporate news that. you think above all the negativity that you need that he'll get you said get. your gimmick is out of the process york make it to be regularly with. you that you put that that you need. a mind to be it that your get it done. dave has shown that yoga can bring about political change but i'm concerned that politics can change yoga too and that using yoga in politics could be just another way that people try to only. have come to southern india to meet such a good judge give us a dave who describes himself as a mystic and
9:39 pm
a yogi and his followers around the world. i'm drawn to sat guru he appeals to the young and urban middle classes of india he speaks their language he speaks to me. first of all of girl born in. new satchel she also known as the id yogi the 1st ever yogi the whole system of how to york is just this to bring your system to a certain level of symmetry where there's a certain genetic perfection to you that if you sit or stand here everything is at least. how do you think india is changing today and is that having an impact on yoga in
9:40 pm
india so it's not just india the whole world the moment human to human intellect starts asking put in and relevant questions belief systems will start collapsing they will look for something more sensible more scientific which appeals to their logic and are both all something that works. so is that why you think you're becoming as popular as it is other reasons it makes sense and it works no the reason there's a lot of innovation in yoga is that a good thing is that it's just part of the that is the most painful part ok explain that to me you don't read a goblin put it straight you read it for your flowers but there is never a garland without a thread it is the most vital pain so you can add whatever you want but you don't distort the facts you cannot do innovations in the fundamental dimension of yoga but from your experience you can add weight as dimensions to it without distorting
9:41 pm
the fundamental nature of what it isa has yoga moved beyond being indian just because sun touches indian shores before it touches doha can we claim sun is indian because your guys just like that it's it's a certain light that arose here 1st this does not mean it's an indian in any sense india is an identity today's international in a political identity your god does not belong to that identity at all it is the sickness of modern society today that if i discover something in nature i must own it intellectual property what i'm saying is the nature of this culture has always been if something is for the wellbeing of human beings nobody can ever own it it must belong to everybody. busy busy busy
9:42 pm
i agree with such proof yoga should belong to everyone but i'm afraid that simple truth is getting lost in a world that's so commercialized and politicized. i set out to ask who owns yoga but i'm finding the question an impossible one to answer what i have found in my journey is that no matter how much people try to own it yoga remains deeply personal. it's all about attention it doesn't matter. whether you can stand on your header or you can do a handstand or something like that it's the attention that you come with to the mats and so the attention that you come with to the gadgets or any other place of faith or a pilgrimage. is a beautiful thing. before
9:43 pm
heading back home i went to meet an old high school friend of mine who's now living in delhi i'm at the night both practice yoga but we've had very different journeys i came to yoga as a physical exercise i'm it came to yoga as a last resort he's a recovering cancer patient who turned his life around when the doctors said there was no hope he brought it all home to me. meditation was such a key part of getting mentally to the right place to not only fight the disease but to accept it and then one step further to embrace it own. i'm here i'm a product of having tried so many different things and finding the right combination that worked for me and i think we all need to be on those journeys of self exploration to find what works for us because that is what's going to get us
