ME FIRST:
Yoga is the final destination i.e.; Unity.
yoga (lower case 'y') is the path we take to
arrive at our final destination.
Since each person is unique, everybody
has a different starting point. Thus everybody's
"yoga" is unique. (Hence "practicing MY yoga.")
The reason I say TM is not yoga is because
TM attempts to get everybody on the same path.
This (IMO) is equivalant to AAA giving the same
Trip-Tick to Chicago to 3 different people in spite
of the fact that one traveler is starting from Boston,
the second from LA and the third from Dallas.
