Idea: a wikipedia with updated reviews on yoga ashrams and courses
Comments (3)When I did a journey to India to do yoga 10 years ago I felt kind of lost because Lonely planet was outdated in the yoga retreats section. Now my idea is to have a page like wikipedia were people can send in their reviews/reports from ashrams they have been to. It could also contains reviews/reports from evening courses on yoga. Then like in Amazon people can say which reviews/reports they find useful. My aim is that the page should give you a neutral description of what cons and pros the ashram have. over time this could become an updated archive over all ashrams in the world. Right now I am seeking individuals who are willing to participate in the building of this site and right now all work is done on volunteer basis and I want it to be free of commercial interests so the reviews stays as neutral as possible.
sorry my first language is not english and I am from sweden so right now the first reviews are from Sweden and India only. Nothing is final right now and ideas and material is very welcome !

At an early age I got interested in Buddhism and the prince who left his kingdom in the search for truth. How can I apply this story to my own life ? to be able to sit I took up the study of yoga. Is there a contradiction between yoga and science ? Sure we can get a theoretical understanding through books, but without the experience we are stuck. Why is it so hard to practice non-violence when the mosquito is landing on my neck ?
