Yes, you read that right. So yesterday I blogged about an article I found that discussed outsourcing the soul, and today, while reading the latest issue of New York Magazine I came across a big, splashy “best-of” yoga article, “Highly unorthodox poses from New York’s yoga vanguard,”<\/a> that included the newest, edgiest trends in yoga.

And the instructor comments of this particular yoga class: “A lot of pole classes are very seductive, but mine is geared toward fitness. With a little work, anyone with a pair of arms and legs can do this basic Pig pose.”
