Oh no, absolutely not just Yoga Journal. And I'm aware that in a sense I'm part of it, because hey, white Western person doing yoga. But people could at least acknowledge the source.

This reminds me of the whole flap over the Traditional Knowledge Digital Library, and the number of news articles portraying it as "oh noez Indians are trying to copyright yoga and take it away from us". No, Indians are actually trying to stop other people patenting yoga sequences and asanas and profiting off them.
