Riding a wave of US and European visitors since its 2001 economic crisis, Argentina is in the midst of a well-documented tourist boom. Trendy fusion restaurants, boutique designer stores, and uber-modern Puerto Madero clubs and hotels now augment Buenos Aires’s famous all-night tango milongas, French Architecture, and world-renowned beef. The cafes of Recoleta and Palermo are full of the sounds of English, German, and French guests, adding their voices to the ever-present buzz of Argentine castellano.

Now, Buenos Aires has added “OM” (pronounced, “Ohhh-emmmm”) – the universal sound of Eastern meditation practice – to its lexicon. Yoga has officially taken flight.
