I will miss Fridays with Tanuki for sure! But, I hope that we'll manage to figure out something else to deepen our understanding of yoga.
Arigatou.

Modern yoga retreat is said to have begun by the young Swami Vivekananda from

India made a deep impression on the American he introduced to. Yoga masters began to travel to the west, attracting attention

and followers. In the 1920's, Hatha Yoga was strongly promoted in India with the life long work of T. Krishnamacharya .

Krishnamacharya traveled through India giving demonstrations of yoga poses and opened the first Hatha Yoga School.

During the 1950s one of the foremost Yoga teachers of his time, Selvarajan Yesudian, wrote the book "Sport and Yoga", and it

was through this book Yoga entered the world of sports. Today we can observe many athletes and sports teams that has

incorporated Yoga in their injury reducing, strengthening and focus oriented training regimens.

In the middle of the 60s, Yoga got a real promotional boost when the Yogi Maharishi Mahesh taught Yoga to the famous

pop-stars in the Beatles. Many other artists and musicians where influenced to take up Yoga as well.

Yoga became especially popular in Hollywood when Russian born Indra Devi, opened a Yoga studio in Hollywood in 1947. She

taught movie starts like Gloria Swanson, Jennifer Jones and Robert Ryan, as well as educating hundreds of Yoga teachers.
