Book Synopsis An American Yoga by : James Abro
Book excerpt: In 1960, Amrit Desai traveled from India to the United States to study art at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia. A decade later, he reunited with his family, founded the Yoga Society of Pennsylvania, and established a spiritual community (Ashram) and Yoga Retreat. The "Yoga Journal" called the Kripalu Center, "The standard bearer for integrity and professionalism in programs and services." In 1994, under a cloud of controversy, Desai was asked to resign as the center's spiritual director.
