WHAT'S
NEW
All of us here at Yogi Times are delighted to be celebrating our fourth
anniversary. Looking back, it is amazing for us to consider where we
are now compared to where we were just one year ago. Yogi Times Los
Angeles and San Francisco are growing by leaps and bounds. Yogi Times
BUSINESS, the first ever trade publication for the yoga industry is
about to celebrate its first anniversary issue this summer and we are
fast approaching our first ever Yogi
Times BUSINESS Retreat in Maya
Tulum, Mexico at the end of September. When we reflect on the original
mission of Yogi Times, which was to create a vehicle through which the
community could come together and benefit from its shared wisdom,
experience and knowledge, we are proud to see that those goals are
being realized in ways we never could have anticipated. We trust that
you will enjoy our July/August yoga celebration issue. It is a way for
us to celebrate our roots and pay homage to the rich and vibrant
community that has so enthusiastically embraced us and our work.
Namaste,
Martin Hughes, Managing Editor
Sophie Parienti, Editor-in-Chief

SNEAK PEAK
Release
into Peace - Letting Go & Learning to Live
By Jessie Unmani King and
Darlene E. Paris
We
live in a culture that values progress. We love to figure out new ways
to make everything around us look, sound, feel, taste and work better.
We ourselves are no exception to this. We’ve all spent hours
scrutinizing ourselves in the mirror, checking for wrinkles, sucking
in, fantasizing about a nip here or a tuck there. We make resolutions
to eat better, act better, always driving ourselves to do and be more.
For us, efficiency and results reign supreme. We have learned to look
for ways to derive the greatest possible benefit from the least
possible effort, whether it means taking a pill to relieve an ache or
having a pizza delivered in under half an hour. While this attitude has
lead to tremendous advances that have improved the quality of our
lives, it has also ingrained in us a belief and an expectation that all
of our problems can and should be solved immediately with minimal
effort.

Lost In My Living Room
- How I Learned to Practice at Home
By Ann Bui
One
day, I was in class with five other people. We were sitting quietly on
our mats facing our teacher. Instead of leading us in a meditation as
she normally does, our instructor asked if any of us had a home
practice. There was dead silence. I was looking to my left and right to
see if anyone would respond with an affirmative. Finally, someone
did.
I’ve been going to yoga classes for less than a year.
Sometimes I take
five yoga classes in a week. I really enjoy these classes for many
different reasons. They get my body moving in ways that it normally
does not. I get to work on my strength, balance and flexibility. I also
get to work with my feelings towards my body. Afterwards, there is a
nice reward – the after class yoga high. I always feel like I
can run a
marathon or hike up a mountain. It’s a fantastic feeling. So
that begs
the question, “why don’t I have a home
practice?”

Yoga teacher Jennifer Durand created the Yoga Garden Game to help
children see and feel the positive effects of yoga. The goal of the
game is to plant a flower garden before night falls. Through having the
kids work together to achieve this goal, instead of competing against
one another, they’re able to learn classic yoga poses as well
as invent their own. Read

| YOGA
TIP |
Learn to distinguish between pain and sensation. Pain is a signal that
you need to stop. Sensation is a new awakening from an unfamiliar
movement. Regular practice of yoga helps to develop awareness of the
"edge" between challenge and unhealthy struggle. visit here |
