Yoga Teacher Barbie

I was reading this post from Spoiled Yogi on the new Yoga Teacher Barbie.

On the awesome side: you know Yoga has gone mainstream when Barbie is doing it! While Yoga going mainstream has its downfalls and in some cases causes Yoga to lose some of its depth, I generally consider more exposure to the general public a good thing.

The less than awesome side: [roll of the eyes] This is exactly why many of my students were hesitant to try Yoga. They have seen the Lululemon ads, the Yoga Journal covers and have the impression that Yoga is for thin, young women. Now you can add Barbie to the list. Don't get me wrong. Yoga is for thin, young women, but it's also for every other size, age and gender.
