#18 Mainstream yoga classes are like zoos

They aren't perfect but without them, most people wouldn't know anything about their subjects.

Life would be better if all wildlife were actually wild instead of captive. Yoga would be better if it weren't perverted by various types of yoga knockoffs. Discuss.

I agree to some extent. But lets face it: just as zoos do great work to educate the public about wildlife, so to do the various yoga spin-off classes in bringing yoga to the masses. In this context, neither can be called bad. If zoos can teach us to care about the well-being of our wildlife, yoga teach us to care about our own well-being.

The real problem as I see it: when what is being taught is wrong.

Now, can you guess the guy on the right? Let's play 'Name The Ungulate' (hint).
