“[T]he success story of American yoga really begins in New England more than a hundred years ago, with a remarkable generation of independent women. . . [who] risked being branded an affront to Christian domesticity, members of a dangerous cult, and quite possibly insane.” (Stefanie Syman, “Boston Brahma: How a group of turn-of-the-century Cambridge women made America safe for yoga,” Boston Globe 8.24.03)
