Man Bites Downward-Facing Dog: Dr. Timothy McCall Takes On William Broad of The New York Times

by Nina

Could yoga make you fat (especially if you're a woman)? Does it cause hundreds of strokes per year? Sex you up so much you'll engage in unethical behavior? Did the entire discipline start out as a sex cult? If you read The New York Times you might think so. As much as I've often disagreed with him, up until now I've been diplomatic in my responses to William Broad's writings about yoga in Times and in his book The Science of Yoga. But after his recent article in which he asserted that "yoga is remarkably dangerous — for men," I felt it was time to speak up. —Dr. Timothy McCall

In his new paper “Man Bites Downward-Facing Dog,” Yoga for Healthy Aging blogger and Medical Editor for Yoga Journal Magazine, Dr. Timothy McCall responds to William Broad’s ongoing sensationalistic claims about yoga. In his post on our blog Is Yoga Really Dangerous for Men?, Timothy addressed Broad’s most recent claim that yoga is “remarkably dangerous” for men. In this new paper, he goes further and responds to other over the top claims that Broad has made previously, such as that yoga can make you fat or that the entire discipline started out as a sex cult. He also makes it clear that he is not denying that yoga injuries are a problem; and he acknowledges that he is not in disagreement with all of William Broad's assertions.
Mugsy, the Yoga Dog by Nina Zolotow
Timothy's article is on his web site, in  PDF format rather than on a web page. So if you want to read it, you’ll need to download it and view it with Adobe Acrobat. To get your copy of the paper, you can either use the link in the previous paragraph or go to Timothy's web site www.drmccall.com. I highly recommend that you go ahead and download the paper. Then feel free to pass it on to your friends. We really want to get the word out!
