As one would expect with anything that explodes in popularity, people are putting their own spin on yoga, and looking for new ways to practice.<\/p>\n<p>In the late 1960\u2019s, several respected Indian gurus brought yoga to the west. America\u2019s introduction to Kundalini, Iyengar and <strong><a title=\"Ashtanga Yoga Video\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/videos\/ashtanga-yoga-introduction\/\">Ashtanga yoga<\/a><\/strong> created a small yet devout group of followers who practiced the traditional methods as taught from the masters. Sticking to the rigid principals and concepts, these classic styles of yoga attracted those with discipline and a strong desire to live a yogic lifestyle.<\/p>\n<p>Today, yoga in America is a 6 billion dollar industry with over 16 million practitioners. Its popularity is mindboggling and the demographics of people who practice are extensive. From retired <strong><a title=\"Exercising Couch Potato\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/07\/are-you-an-exercising-couch-potato\/\">couch potatoes<\/a><\/strong> to retired athletes, yoga\u2019s benefits are now seeping into the minds and bodies of all types.<\/p>\n<p>Who knew that 5000 years after the birth of yoga we\u2019d be throwing yoga parties, complete with champagne and glow sticks, teaching yoga to our four legged friends, and doing an inverted lotus pose whilst hanging from a silk hammock? The course that yoga has taken over the last forty years is truly fascinating.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The following is a quick look at the wildest yoga trends to grace our nation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Yoga Rave<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Inspired by the Art of Living Foundation, a yoga rave is a party like no other party you\u2019ve ever experienced. If <strong><a title=\"Beginner's Guide to Corpse Pose (Savasana)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/10\/beginners-guide-to-corpse-pose\/\">post-yoga savasana bliss<\/a><\/strong> isn\u2019t enough, try doing yoga under a blinking laser show to trance-like tunes for four continuous hours and then see how you feel.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Workout and Wine<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Some of us do it anyway, let\u2019s admit it. We go to yoga and then pop open a nice bottle of red. What could be better? Several New York City gyms that offer yoga classes are now serving alcohol to their patrons after class. Your yoga and fitness center just became a one stop shopping experience! Pick up some inner peace and then add a martini to your basket of goodies.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bare Naked Bakasana<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For those of you who are familiar with crow pose, seeing someone do it in the nude might entirely change your perception of the practice. Although for some, naked yoga is much more liberating and confidence enhancing than expensive psychotherapy.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps we can wait another forty years for a class that combines all three of these wild trends. When the Alcohol Induced Naked Yoga Rave class becomes all the rage, I will be searching for a bearded man in a cave.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also Read:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a title=\"Stand Up Paddle Boarding\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/04\/stand-up-paddling-is-the-latest-fitness-craze-with-serious-benefits\/\">Stand Up Paddle Boarding is the Latest Fitness Craze with Serious Benefits<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a title=\"Defy Gravity with AntiGravity Yoga\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/01\/defy-gravity-and-get-taller-with-antigravity-yoga\/\">Defy Gravity and Get Taller with AntiGravity Yoga<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a title=\"Naked Yoga Revolution\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/03\/the-naked-yoga-revolution-has-nothing-to-hide\/\">The Naked Yoga Revolution Has Nothing to Hide<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You might imagine how obscure yoga was in the advent of its day.
