Yoga's name used everywhere
Marketing some person's wares
Losing meaning faster as
Fitness has breached its hands
Once brought down in prayer position*
Now omitted to prevent offense to
Some who wouldn't pay
If Yoga retained it's original ways
Scary to the dogmatic** crowd
Yoga has lost its beauty now
Just another sweaty competition
Designed for status, style and sales
Why use the name Yoga at all
If it's essence offends the masses so?
