Here’s some fun and silly…uh, we mean VERY serious news. Apple debuted new emojis and guess what? We’re finally getting a yogi! For when the prayer hands and om symbol just won’t cut it. World Emoji Day was July 17th (you knew that, right?) and the iPhone overlords at Apple celebrated by announcing some fun [...]

If you’re streaming pre-recorded yoga classes online, apparently you’re doing it all wrong. Now technology allows for yoga teachers to give live, personal instructions from virtually anywhere in the world. We wrote about the Finland-based company Yoogaia last year. At that point, they were riding high on a wave of crowdfunded bliss after raising 192,172 euro [...]
