    The Year Yoga Came Home to Roost

    For the modern yoga world, 2015 was a time of reckoning. The veneer of yoga lifestyle branding dulled further and the un-photoshopped belly continued to garner greater market appeal.

    Despite it All, I'm OK

    Recent events and the turn of season have landed on many like a celestial wet blanket, casting a hue of funk and resignation.

    Yoga Extremism

    Polarization seems rampant across all sectors of modern life. Debates on money, politics, religion, and even yoga, readily devolve into diametrically opposed camps. Moderate voices are lost in the din of intolerance and most folks understandably turn away from the discussion with disgust or lament.

    Pros and Cons of Yoga Teacher Training

    Yoga teachers don't really make a living off teaching yoga classes anymore. Many rely upon conducting yoga teacher training.

    Statistics show that Americans are working harder, for longer hours, and are more productive than ever. Yet, few are getting ahead and most are grateful if they can just make ends meet. As stress-related illnesses account for an increasing number of doctor visits, the call to slow down and unplug has gotten louder.
