Seems to be a thing of the west to take elements of yoga, tai chi, daoism et al, and distill them - mindfulness comes to mind - and as devices they're good, but together they amount to so much more than the sum of their parts, hence the eastern penchant for a 'holistic' approach.

You cannot market to the masses if 90% of your customers are going to stop coming after a handful of sessions. ... Unless you do a January promotion, pay the full year and get 50+% off. In that case, the wannabes subsidize the actual students.
