Practice Yoga with the Best of Intentions
...Of course, you practice yoga with the best of intentions. Now, your thinking, doesnt everyone practice, learn, and teach yoga with the best of intentions? In a few words: No, they do not.
Some yoga teachers over-step their boundaries. We have yoga students who were abused verbally and physically, before they came here. Some were picked on for being overweight, insulted for their lack of flexibility, and one of my current students had her back jumped on by her former yoga instructor, while holding Downward-Facing Dog (Adho Mukha Svanasana). By the way, this student had told this yoga teacher, she had back problems, before she took her first yoga class.

2. Flash is the number one killer of yoga web sites
Flash is a powerful program that can produce stunning graphic displays and play music on web sites. Many web designers build beautiful yoga web sites completely in Flash.
Unfortunately, Flash can sink a web site's chances of success before the site is even launched.
Search engines like Google can't read text saved in Flash. If Google can't read what's on your site, it certainly won't rank you very highly in search results -- even if you offer exactly what people are looking for. And if Google doesn't rank you on page one of its search results for key phrases related to your business, your site might as well not exist. People rarely scan past the first few search results.
The solution: Have your site built in HTML so that search engines can read your content. Use Flash sparingly for visual effects on part of your page, or not at all.
