Oprah even once led a yoga clinic on her show. Mundra, a yoga aficionado who comes from a mixed background of Indian and American heritage, has seen American and Asian cultures both clash and converge. He believes that the introduction of Eastern philosophy to America has had its benefits and its pitfalls. It's a good thing that Eastern philosophy has made its way to the West, where some of the tenets of the East were absent. But the main source of criticism for the import of Eastern philosophy is that sometimes Americans distort what's being brought over, so it's not pure anymore.
Yoga is one Eastern import that can improve a student's way of life.
It does wonders for a person's flexibility and concentration, according to Mundra. It makes my body feel better and my mind clearer. One day Mundra even led his studio class in an impromptu yoga session. The students performed sun salutations, which are a series of various poses that pay homage to the sun and sky. Sun salutations give a good full body stretch routine.
