[edit] March 2006

These need articles if to be kept, external links alone not adequate

  1. Universal Yoga - Andrey Lappa - http://www.universal-yoga.com/
  2. Raja yoga (School) - sree gnanajothi sampangi swamigal - http://www.gnanadeepam.20m.com (use of the Raja Yoga path needs differentiation from the school. See the discussion at Talk:Raja Yoga)

Both here and in the Category:Yoga shouldn't there be a distinction between global philosophy movements and description & link to local guru intructors? Murgh 01:21, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
