The true superhero identity of our friend Yoga Dork is revealed in the New York Times (though not her face), making it the first yoga-related piece in the paper that actually breaks news and not, um, wind.
John Friend doesn’t like the way the New York Times fact checks its articles. The Anusara founder responds to Mimi Swartz’s piece last weekend on his six-figure sun salutations.

Demi Moore does Master Cleanse followed by the Clean Program and is lambasted for both on Twitter and in the NY Daily News.
