Because it’s impromptu dude week after all! There are some spirited stirrings over a MAN on the cover of Yoga Journal March ’11. One commenter went so far as to declare “There is a guy on the cover! The times, they are a changing…” Well. Meet LA yoga teacher and [...]

We know it. Yoga is for everybody, right? Every Body. But, wait! Quick, just imagine for a second the picture of the “perfect” yogi? Who do you see? Is he/she fit, slender and pretty? Are they ready for their close-up for the cover of Yoga Journal? In a culture consumed [...]
