Posture Exercises You Can Do Right Now
If bad posture has become a norm for you, then you may have realized that it's time to do something about it.

Making Money in Yogaland
Yogaworks has opened a new studio in New York, at the corner of Broadway and Grand Street. It's got bamboo floors, showers with impressive pressure, electronically-locking lockers and walls painted in restful Ralph Lauren colors. The only thing missing? People. On the two days we went there there were few students. What's wrong with this yoga picture? Disclosure: I'm not going to rag on Yogaworks too badly. They gave us two free classes. But I think the empty studios are symptomatic of a pricing and marketing approach that is not working. For you non-yogis, bear with me, because this will become a metaphor for monetizing the web, particularly web journalism. (Metaphors, like yoga positions, can be...

Practice Life With a Focus on Integrity, Not...
I was in yoga class the other day when I discovered that after a two month hiatus from classes, my biggest challenge had nothing to do with flexibility, strength or technique (though all three had regressed)-my biggest challenge was my ego. My teacher asked us to either practice handstand against the wall (a pose I had done a gazillion times before) or practice a modified version of handstand which, given my current physical conditioning, I knew was in my best interest at that moment. A modified handstand meant working into the pose progressively, building strength and improving technique incrementally until I was eventually strong enough for a full handstand. My ego, however, had its knickers in...

How Much Yogis Earn
The Yoga as conceived by the yogis who first practised it thousands of years ago in India was not primarily for providing basic relaxation technique, but at a much higher sought liberation of the soul.
