This year, supermodel Christy Turlington made the cover of Time magazine in a classic yoga posture. Movie stars such as Madonna, Gwenyth Paltrow and Willem Dafoe often are captured by the paparazzi toting their yoga mats around the streets of Manhattan. Certainly, yoga has hit the mainstream and is in the height of fashion in American culture.
今年超模Christy Turlington在時(shí)代周刊的封面上展示了一個(gè)經(jīng)典的瑜伽姿勢。狗仔隊(duì)經(jīng)常捕捉到麥當(dāng)娜、格溫妮絲•帕特羅、和威廉•達(dá)福之類的電影明星在曼哈頓島的街道上提著瑜伽墊的身影。當(dāng)然，瑜伽已經(jīng)成為了主流，并且在美國文化中是最流行的。
Yoga made its last Western Hemisphere splash in the '70s. Although yoga was widely popular at the time, it still seemed to be a practice for the more eccentric vegetarians and peace-seekers.
瑜伽上一次在西半球引起注意是在70年代。盡管瑜伽那時(shí)廣泛流行，但是它仍然看來是較為古怪的素食主義者和和平追尋者所進(jìn)行的。
Today you can't escape yoga. It is a standard class in any health club, available at all resorts and spas, and cities such as New York and Los Angeles have about as many yoga studios per block as they do coffee bars. What has made this 6,000-year-old tradition the latest, greatest thing? For starters, it is no longer reserved for the esoteric; it's truly for everyone.
