I think part of the blame lies (IMHO) in, what I'd consider the American desire to "be number 1!!11!!" and the adrenaline rush. Just doing yoga is not enough; there have to be _competitions_ and challenges and so on. Why, regular yoga not giving you the adrenaline rush? Try "Acro Yoga" ! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMMlzQsQPk4
What the heck. Yoga is not about being competitive; it's just about you, and you alone. Do the same yoga that you do when you're alone, as when you're in front of 1000 people. Listen to your body.
An analogy is: yoga is like tango. The 'woman' is your body, and you are the lead.
