UPDATE: A reminder to bashful cube dwellers, the toilet is also a type of ‘chair’, ahem. Time for Friday stretchies! It’s been a long harried week. Maybe you’ve built up some tension? If you’re anything like us, we’re going to assume yes. And chances are you’ve been sitting in a chair, perhaps some of us [...]
Blogging Yoga
Have you heard of Yoga Bear? They’re a non-profit org promoting healthy living and offering yogic support for those whose lives have been affected by cancer. We yogadorks are huge fans! We’ve mentioned them before as Yoga Heroes giving back, and since it’s a pretty awesomely heroic week so far, we thought we’d give em [...]
When we’re not snarky sassypants, we yogadorks do have a heart (take note recent commenters, sheesh), and do believe in focusing on the good people of the world, every once in a while. In an age of economic turmoil, wars we may sometimes forget we’re involved in, and other atrocities of this great green Earth, [...]
Here’s a fun one! On this Wednesday afternoon – as we’re pining for Friday to get here already! – comes the eternal question of the (happy) hour, “To booze or not to booze before yoga class?” “Asanas on Ice” wrote in to Chow.com with the query, requesting an ethical/health check on pre-yoga buzz form A [...]

As in, how has yoga positively affected you guys out there? You know, guys who actually practice yoga and aren’t too insecure to admit [...]
somewhere over the rainbow… ‘Moron’ the real yoga discussion: Are you a Yog-Gay? Are you ready to get into a heated bunched-panties discussion about the moral implications of Yoga and Homosexuality? Elephant Journal’s ringmaster Waylon Lewis takes on the debate with great form. So which are you, hedonistic heathen or forbidding puritan? Clearly it’s cut [...]
The word on the yoga blogs…all about keeping ‘things’ in place. Yoga Mat Sticky Origins: Have you ever wondered who created the yoga mat? Maybe it was while you were hovering face down in plank staring at the pool of sweat gathered below your nose. We sweat on and beat up our mats so much, [...]
Ordinary Time Travel: Time can seem to creep, or swoosh by at lightning speeds, but really it’s as steady and constant as anything can get…tick, tock. We have no machine to go back in time (yet), but encountering old friends or revisiting a memory is our own ordinary time travel. We’ve been a fan of [...]
