Yoga event straddles US-Mexico border fence

On June 22nd, a group of yogis rolled out their mats on both sides of the fence that separates Tijuana, Mexico, and San Diego. "The international group stretched and meditated together before exchanging hugs through the fence bars," reports the Associated Press. "The session was organized by the Border Meetup Group, which promotes cross-border understanding by staging social events on the divided beach." Did anyone participate? What do you think about using yoga "to make friends across cultural, political, societal, even emotional barriers?"
