Al Gore Says: We’re F****d!
by Jennifer Cusano on Aug 10, 2011
Could you blame the poor guy?!? It's not like we have done a whole hell of a lot since his documentary aired in 2006. One has to wonder how long the man will go on talking about our planets imminent demise before he truly does loose it. You're not alone Mr. Gore!2,015 views

Jesus and The Jersey Shore?
by Jennifer Cusano on Aug 10, 2011
Correct me if I am wrong, please, but both the men and women who star in the show pride themselves on how many people they can have sex with-which must also mean that none of them are married. They even have a name for it SMUSHING. WTF?513 views

Why Am I Doing This Again?: A Review of the Documentary “Ashtanga, NY”. ~ Esther Liberman
by Esther Liberman on Aug 10, 2011
Are your friends on your case because you always insist on getting home early so you can make it to yoga the next morning? Is your mom on your case because you keep refusing her pot roast the night before your yoga workshop begins? Have you been wondering lately why you “do this” in the first place, what benefit there possibly could be in having an asana practice? The short, sweet, and incredibly inspiring documentary “Ashtanga, NY” may change their mind (and yours) about yoga, about Ashtanga, about community, and even about documentaries.999 views

The Good Samaritan. ~ Sara Young
by elephantjournal.com on Aug 9, 2011
While I have been in Portland, I have been meeting many different people to have them take me to their favorite Portland Places. I was telling my yoga teacher about the project, and she immediately told me she had a place to take me. I was so excited that I got a little carried away with myself. What follows is the story of my yoga teacher’s favorite place or as I like to call it, Portland and the Good Samaritan.321 views

Celebrity/Luxury/Exotic/Intensive! Yoga Spa Retreat! ~ Lee Graham
by elephantjournal.com on Aug 9, 2011
Some of the best classes I have ever had were with unknown yogis, who were just passionate about yoga and not so overly enmeshed in the business of yoga. Just because a yogi is a killer self-promoter, doesn't mean they are a bad yogi, necessarily. But it doesn't mean they are the best yogi for you, either.249 views
