I agree and will be participating in my local dc event. I'm a little bit disapointed though because it has ten times as many sponsors and costs twice as much as it did last year. I hope commercialism doesn't drown the original purpose of the day.

I do believe peace comes from within. Living the yoga philosophy is to be the healthiest one can be. There is no end to the benefits of yoga.
This is the reason I would so like to see it as an olympic event. We musn't be blinded by the spiritual aspects yoga brings believing it cannot
be an olympic event as well. Yoga is everything. Omni-present!

This sounds like a really good idea, as long as it doesn't get too commercial.
