"The new yoga ecosystem values social-media savvy over the types of skills longtime teachers have honed — hence all the gorgeous yogis and yoginis contorting themselves into astonishing poses on Instagram. “We’ve definitely seen the phenomenon of Insta-celebrity, and they’re getting real deals,” says Taylor. “Once teachers can get their following up to a certain size, their business reality really, really changes.”

This may not have anything to do with their teaching skills. “A pretty picture doesn’t necessarily mean a great teacher, but it doesn't have to,” says Taylor. That’s because a big part of the business of yoga these days is entertainment, not instruction. “Yoga now is where the Food Network was 15 or 20 years ago,” she says. “There’s both, ‘Let me teach you how to cook,’ and, ‘Watch me cook.’”

"From there, it's clear who the star teachers are. And no, the stars are not those with the best practices, the most experience, or perfect bodies.

Uncovering evidence for what you believe is totally satisfying. Too much exercise hinders immune response.

"...chronic exercise training impacts immune function in different ways depending on the intensity and volume of the training. If you don't exercise enough the immune system is weak. Likewise, if exercise volume is very high, the immune system is weak. Somewhere in the middle, with appropriately challenging yet well-managed volumes of exercise, immune function is optimal. This relationship is known as a J-shaped curve and seen below."
