Like "California Uber Alles" Never Happened

From the April 30 issue of Maclean's, I give you, Punk Rock Yoga:

Invented by Seattle-based Kimberlee Jensen Stedl, Punk Rock Yoga classes, which are held to the sound of punk music, are being held in places as far apart as Toronto, New York, Beijing, and Louisville, Kentucky. Beyond altering the music, converting a standard yoga class into a Punk Rock Yoga class involves such democratizing changes as holding the classes by candlelight, avoiding mirrors to negate body image issues, arranging the participants in a "sunburst" semicircle instead of rows that suggest hierarchy, and finishing the class with an "anarchist mantra."

Candlelight and mantras. Yes indeed. Very punk.
