Or don’t you know about Lululemon’s association with Ayn Rand? What a joke. Lululemon made themselves political when they gave out the offensive "John Galt" bags. I highly doubt most of your silly ambassadors even know about this controversy. If they do, I wonder if they too believe in this Wilson/Rand “rise above mediocrity” foolishness. Please stay out of politics. With Paul Ryan bringing Ayn Rand’s philosophies to this election season, all the folks who work at Lululemon must be so proud.

It makes space for us to allow acceptance, teaches us compassion, and reaffirms integrity. We are better versions of ourselves when we practice these things, and form a deeper sense of self awareness. Yoga is not about politics, nor were either of the articles written above. Yoga was brought to these conventions, it seems, to offer a calm amid chaos, to reconnect with ourselves and our community, and to offer a few moments of probably much needed release. There are no biases discussed, no opinions projected, and no reason to be offended by the simple acknowledgement that despite our views, both democrats and republicans appreciate an opportunity to find a little peace of mind. I am grateful that this was available at both conventions. Yoga may exercise your body, but the philosophy behind it can change your mind.

Politics or any other profession needs yoga. I was delightfully surprised and happy to hear about the involvement at both conventions. Way to go! Way to spread health, vitality and "expansion" to all forms of professions -- especially politics. I worked in politics for over 15 years in Canada and I can definitely say yoga is a needed element for anyone working in such a stressful occupation regardless of political stripe. Sarah & Meg are not pushing politics on anyone -- they are pushing health! Way to go ladies! I completely disagree with Cathleen. Politics or any other profession needs yoga.

I thought exercise was a place where I don't have to be a democrat or republican - just a person doing yoga, and being healthy. why don’t you just do yoga and stay out of politics? what does yoga have to do with politics? we need some space that just doesn’t get political. no presenting sides “equally”, just keep out of it.
