I know how frustrated I can get behind the wheel but it’s been surprising to learn just how world wide the road rage epidemic is! For example, this past summer, the Vatican released the Ten Commandments for Drivers, which revolve mostly around being more patient and responsible; among many incidents, last year a man was shot when he took someone’s parking place in San Francisco; plus aggressive driving has become a leading cause in the death of young children, according to the US Dept of Safety in a recent report to Congress. Drivetime Yoga is a step towards relieving this and the collective denial that we all are encountering various degrees of rage behind the wheel.

There were a couple of corrections needed in the NCTimes article: I have been practicing Yoga for decades but a teacher for only a couple of years, this is stated in the book; also, I didn’t consult with a psychologist but with physical therapist/ergonomic consultant, Julie Garner, who contributed to the book/cd. The psychologist’s comments were part of the research gathered.

Namaste,
