Y-O-G-A Yoga Yoga Yoga! Hi team, you lovely 3% of Americans who practice, and some other probably awesome percentage of yogadorks abroad (sorry, we don’t have exact numbers). We’re all family right? CyberSangha ho! Now that it’s steadily creeping towards Holiday hysteria, we’d like to take this opportunity, a brief time out, to give thanks to the amazing virtual community we consider ourselves honored to be a part of right here on YD, on twitter and on facebook. Y’all are the cat/cow’s meow. And we’re even talking about Lady Gaga in her underwear. One love.
On that note, don’t forget to find your own pause button, maybe even for gratitude, and participate in the Stop, Meditate & Listen 365 Hour Challenge. Just 145ish hours left!
