The Week contest: Furious stretching
Last week's question: A yoga instructor in Calgary, Alberta, has begun offering "Rage Yoga" sessions, in which participants are free to curse, drink alcohol, and listen to heavy metal. If a guru were to publish a New Age book extolling the spiritual benefits of stretching while drunk and angry and listening to Metallica, what would it be called?
