5.0 out of 5 stars Interesting for the beginner, something to aspire to October 24, 2008

I am just starting my yoga practice, and as I looked for more details of poses and such online after class, I kept ending up on the YogaJournal.com website. Last time grocery shopping I picked up a copy, couldn't put it down, and ordered a subscription. As a beginner I have found it VERY interesting with articles on how yoga is helping patients mentally and physically with breast cancer, common sense articles on herbs for ailments AND yoga poses to ease an ailment also, many others--I read it literally cover to cover. I found it really helpful to go from class (a bunch of ladies bonding over our struggles to balance or stay in a pose) to how the rest of the (yoga) world perceives/practices/enriches through yoga! I found it perfectly readable for a complete beginner to augment class instruction (oooh the possibilities!!!) to wanting to set it aside and review as I get further along in the future. And their website is a wealth of information as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice Mix of Mind and Body July 13, 2008

By Lisa Shea HALL OF FAMETOP 100 REVIEWERVINE™ VOICE

I'm really quite fond of this magazine. It does a very good job of mixing in a variety of aspects of a yoga life, and addressing each aspect in a helpful and entertaining manner.

There are of course pages on poses, with clear photos, succinct instructions and explanations on how to modify them if you have to. There are pages on eating healthy. There are stories from people in a variety of walks of life, talking about how even minor changes in their lifestyle brought about significant results.

Then there are the pages which can make a huge difference in another way. A recent article had an article on forgiveness - how it is so important not to carry grudges and hatred. Those feelings rarely harm to "person who did you wrong" - but they eat up your own body, filling you with stress, tension, and unhappiness. It's amazing how many people I run into who carry these kinds of whole-heart grudges, often from incidents 10 or more years ago!

If you're more advanced, there is content for you as well. Articles about some of the intricate details of yoga might seem a bit complex for newbies, but if you store your magazines, after a few months going back and re-reading those articles can bring fresh information.

There are articles about youngsters doing yoga, older people doing yoga, and anything in between. There are ads for very expensive retreats in exotic locations - but also information on being mindful in a frugal manner.

I do have to say that most of the images shown are of young, 20-something sexy models, and it'd be nice to show a wider selection of people doing the poses. Still, that complaint can probably be made with just about every magazine out there.

Well recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Good January 15, 2009

This magazine is a good one to read if you are someone who practices yoga. It is subject to some of the same things that people will find annoying with many magazines for the most part. Yes, it has changed with more advertisements, but many magazines have had the same thing as they try to keep going. The subsciption is reasonably priced and they need to stay in business.

Basically you need to look past that and read the articles. There is alot of valuable tips and very good information about yoga in the pages that will benefit you and makes it worthwhile. Every month I glean one or two things at least that I find personally worthwhile and it keeps me up to speed about yoga in general. If you are concerned, just pick up an issue before subscribing and give it a chance and read the articles. You will be happy you did.
