To Obtain the Benefits of Yoga Requires More than Just Putting on the Garb of a Yogi
I’m re-reading Yoga Mala by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois and rediscovered this gem on p. 5, which I love because it motivates and reminds us that true understanding of yoga only comes through diligent practice: We now have to ask whether it is possible to realize the true nature of yoga simply by understanding its meaning as a word.

The Vernice Vita Yoga Mat is Absolutely Amazing!

Most beginning yogis scoff at dropping a hundred-plus bucks on a yoga mat, but if you stick with the practice you’ll eventually begin to collect mats like they’re tupperware and you may end up with a closet dedicated just to all your yoga gear. Now that’s a biographical statement… Anyhow, I’ve had a ton of yoga mats sent my way over the years to try out, and yes, I have a closet full of yoga gear. … [Read more...] about The Vernice Vita Yoga Mat is Absolutely Amazing!
