At the one-minute mark or so the yogi does a sequence that reminds me of a good old-fashioned yoga demonstration. Definitely love all the cracking joint sound effects. Check it out if you're looking for ten minutes of entertainment and/or want to beef up on your yoga fighting skills. … [Read more...] about Kung Fu vs. Yoga…Who’s Gonna Win?!?

Spice Your Practice Up with a New Yoga Poster
While books on yoga asanas are a great resource to consult when learning the fundamentals of a new asana, the continuity and visual effect of a poster can be a great aid in maintaining the harmony of one's practice. Most would agree, it can be a bit disruptive to one's flow to have to turn the page in a book or magazine to move between asanas.
