This Week In Yoga: Elena Brower Quits Anusara, Lulu Murder Verdict, YogaMatMcRibs

Man, it’s like these days are just getting shorter and shorter. Daylight must be saved! Yes it’s dark at 5pm, but we won’t let that keep us from eating all our halloween candy for dinner shining the light of our pre-holiday spiritude. This week was full of surprise resignations, scenes from a horrific lulu murder and fake-ish meatlike substances concocted from yoga mat materials. Are we approaching yogapocalypse or will the dawn of darker days lead us to toward freewheeling transformation and enlightenment? You’re asking us? That’s one for Deepak’s video game Oracle!

Here’s What Happened This Week In Yoga:

Firstly, a PSA: Would you rather eat a McRib or your Manduka? How about both! McDonald’s McRib Shares Same Ingredients As Your Yoga Mat
