Can a yogi ever have too many yoga books? I highly doubt it. My current collection of yoga books takes up about three feet of shelf space...and it seems to be getting bigger. I'm always somewhere in the middle of a yoga book. If you're looking for the perfect yoga book, you've come to the right place. I recently added a page to Daily Cup of Yoga just for yoga books. The page is in its infancy right now, but should grow exponentially in the near future! You can peruse the books on the … [Read more...] about Check out the new Yoga Books page!

Oh my heck! I literally walked out of the yoga studio like a zombie. Although I tried to act as normal as possible when the class ended, I … [Read more...] about Primary Series and Lots of Sweat!
First Yoga Class in Four Years
It's been almost four years since I actually stepped foot in a yoga studio. You're probably thinking that's a bit insane since I have a blog about yoga and you're reading it. There's a multitude of reasons why I rarely go to yoga class. First and foremost, I'm cheap, especially when I feel like I'm paying for something that I could just as well do in the comfort of my own home for free. Not that I won't spend all sorts of money on books about yoga and stuff. In fact, just last night I ordered … [Read more...] about First Yoga Class in Four Years
