Every few years I find my stack of yoga magazines piling up. Eventually I convince myself to pull out the scissors and cut out my favorite yoga articles, which I then place in three-ring binders for reference. I recycle the rest of the magazine. It’s a bit painful to chop up the magazines, but it certainly proves a useful exercise in non-attachment…
Happily, I recently discovered that every single page of Yoga Journal, all the way from issue number 1, which was 10 pages and cost 75 cents back in 1975, to the glossy-covered December 2008 issue, are chronicled on Google Books for our reading pleasure. Hundreds of issues available at the click of a button. The entire issue, for free! Certainly makes the eventual separation from the physical copy less difficult. I highly recommend checking out Yoga Journal on Google Books and enjoying a veritable journey through the history of yoga in the United States over the last 35 years. It’s definitely interesting to observe the evolution of the magazine cover.
Thank you for posting this. I had no idea and I haven’t been able to afford them for a while. Now I can still read up and print the articles that really resonate with me at work.
Ps: I have a binder with my favorite articles for reference too!
Namaste,
