Just saw this very interesting video about Bikram Yoga on 60 Minutes.

Copywriting Yoga poses? I don't know, seems a little sketch to me. Yoga in America straddles the border between fitness and spirituality, and we all know fitness programs have been legally protected before (Richard Simmons, Billy Blanks, etc.)

The question is, can you copyright spirituality? Brings to mind Scientology and Dianetics. In this day and age it will become a bigger question: does commercializing spirituality really work for the benefit of society, or are the risks (mainly, the *slight* conflict of interest) too great?
