And like many things that start below the Establishment's radar, it has caught the eye of the mainstream and is edging into the galleries...

"We haven't had to do it by throwing money at it," says Parton...
...best-known formal system of stretching is yoga, now immensely popular in the West. Many different styles of yoga exist, some very vigorous and demanding, some quite gentle. I couldn't be more pleased to see yoga becoming so mainstream in our part of the world; I think it will increase the numbers of healthier and happier people here.
