After last week’s turn of yogic bedlam, we’ve been operating on a cocktail of exhaustion fumes and settling dust, but we must march on! If you’ve ever heard the story of Virabhadra you know he is one mean battling machine. Though really it doesn’t take a scholar to recognize that the yoga poses named after this warrior demon – virabhadrasana I, II and III – are super fierce. And can burn like the flaming devil! Still, we soldier through because we know it’s only for the better – tapas right? Because yoga takes courage! And don’t let anyone tell you different.

I think everything published made a lot of sense. However, what about this? what if you were to write a killer headline? I mean, I don’t wish to tell you how to run your website, however what if you added a title to possibly grab folk’s attention? I mean Maison Atlanta Blog » How do you say Glamour? We say Dorya. is a little boring. You should glance at Yahoo’s front page and watch how they create post headlines to grab people to click. You might add a related video or a related pic or two to get readers excited about everything’ve written. In my opinion, it could make your posts a little livelier.
