Unreferenced WP:Original research with no indication of notability per WP:GNG. Article is mainly about the pseudoscience of Electromagnetic therapy (alternative medicine). Can't find any mention of Electroyoga online in WP:Reliable sources. Proposed deletion contested by article creator without comment. OnionRing ( talk) 19:10, 27 June 2016 (UTC) reply

• The topic we are talking about is ElectroYoga. It's a newer word...not brand new - but it's time to define that word. There are lots of references to that word on the internet. Grounding yoga mats are a top seller - Infrared yoga studios are popular. A new word is being invented because of new inventions are being created and some of these new inventions are used in the practice of yoga.

Electromagnetic field therapy is Pseudoscience? Your opinion of this shows me that you are extremely ignorant of FDA approved technology and it's people like you that make sure the rest of the world is kept in the dark by deleting references to a technology that is safe to use and effective. In Canada, electromagnetic field therapy has been Heath Canada approved for depression since 2002 and the FDA approved it since 2011. Electromagnetic field therapy has been used for non-union bone fractures since 1976. Every major hospital uses electromagnetic field therapy for non-union bone fractures...The use of Infrared heaters in Yoga studios has been about for 15 years..Many incorrectly call it hot yoga, however you can sit in a steam room and practice hot yoga. The use of electromagnetic fields to heat the body IS NOT electromagnetic field therapy as you say. That is called diathermy.

ElectroYoga is a BROAD term that can be used as a type of music, a yoga event, a yoga mat. Yes a Tesla ElectroYoga mat can be used for electromagnetic field therapy - but is it really worth deleting this article because of one type of electroyoga that is mentioned?

And as far as internet presence and notability - the term electroyoga is extremely popular and many yoga studios are offering it. I will provide just a few links...It's even popular in arabic countries.

There is a major radio station in canada sponsoring an event dedicated to ElectroYoga in the park..It's not electromagnetic field therapy like you say it is. It's grounded yoga mats - while listening to electronic music presented by the radio station...

The term electromagnetic therapy can refer to several things, including the FDA-approved electrotherapy, and pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (PEMF) which is used for non-union bone fractures and depression, but that must not be confused with electromagnetic therapy (alternative medicine), which is indeed pseudoscience.

And none of the references offered here or now in the article are considered WP:Reliable sources on Wikipedia. As for the AM radio station in Canada referred to above, their website has simply included listing an ElectroYoga event in the events section. OnionRing ( talk) 07:46, 28 June 2016 (UTC) reply

• Delete. Fails notability guideline, seems like promotion of Yoga mats and therapy and also has unsourced, incorrect information like "sand/granite is highly conductive" while they are insulators. DeVerm ( talk) 05:01, 29 June 2016 (UTC) reply
• Comment also note that the definition of ElectroYoga here has changed substantially from the original article. Initially it was all about hot yoga plus electromagnetic therapy (alternative medicine); now the emphasis in the lead has been changed to hot yoga at musical events, evidently to match the few online mentions found.

• Delete. Non-notable fringe bollocks (promotion for biomat?) Alexbrn ( talk) 15:25, 29 June 2016 (UTC) reply
• Strong Delete Non-notable free-floating stray voltage article. Content jumps widely, is unstable over time, and has wildly unusual claims. The various usage examples merely conflate disparate terms, and do so thoroughly inconsistently. There are no proper underpinning citations - because there is no proper underlying conceptualization.
