Explosive Grid Game #3: "Namaste Yoga"[edit]

Like Expansive Grid, except more explosive! Like Expansive Grid, you start at the center of the main grid and associate radially outwards to the four corners. The blue squares in the main game and corresponding branch must be the same word, and must be bold. Unlike Expansive Grid, the blue square in each branch serves as the center word of a whole new (smaller) Radial game, where you associate out to the four corners of each of the four branches.

Game #2 can be seen here. It started with Athletics at the 1993 Summer Universiade, and expanded out to Costică Ștefănescu (branched to Corruption in Hungary, 2022 FIFA World Cup controversies, Witchcraft in India, and Cinema of Moldova), Airline meal (branched to Bottle bomb, Alcohol industry, Hollywood, and Brooklyn Nine-Nine), Sappho (branched to Folklife and Ethnological Museum of Macedonia and Thrace, Milos, Medieval poetry, and Jewish cemetery), and Love Starvation / Trombone (branched to Mooing, Washing machine, The Original Soul of Michael Jackson, and Wilson (surname)).

Game #3's starting word, Namaste Yoga, was chosen via Random Article.
