Well, Doc, Yoga is a wrong thing to practice to control the stupid ego.
I heartily recommend the person to play golf instead.
That will teach him to realize the futility of the vanity of the big ego.
I play golf and always end up to be humble each time.
I guess you know me... how humble I am. ㅎ, ㅎ, ㅎ.

I agree, WM, the humble gentleman I know,
playing golf is a lot better for us than practicing yoga.
It is interesting, indeed, to note that the practice of meditation and yoga
produces the opposite effect to the teachings of Buddha, i. e. killing the ego.
As the articles pointed out, the attitude of the practitioner may be the reason,
that is, their purpose of the practice may not be what Buddha teaches but
to calm their nerves and anxiety.
Nonetheless boosting ego and self-esteem may help you fight for your survival
or possibly destroy you in this tough world.
