Stressed Out Yoga Chick. ~ Toni Nagy
by elephantjournal.com on Sep 4, 2011
If I consider myself to be spiritual, does that mean I am more at one with the universe than you are? Not that being connected to all things is a competition, but, just so you know, I am actually connected to everything, so I win.984 views

What if Krishnamacharya Trademarked his Brand of Yoga? ~ Dani McGuire
by elephantjournal.com on Sep 3, 2011
As I surf the internet, checking out my favorite yoga studios and teachers, I find that trademarks are everywhere---What have we done to yoga in the west? Who owns Yoga?...sometimes I feel like I need to trademark “my style." Isn’t trademarking about being attached to results, and doesn’t the Bhagavad Gita teach us to live with dispassion, and to not be attached to results?764 views

My Best Daily Practice: Throwing Out The Trash ~ Greer Van Dyck
by elephantjournal.com on Sep 3, 2011
I've always hated taking out the trash. We all have chores around the house that we like more than others. For me, I would rather clean 100 bathrooms than take out the trash. It is that metaphorical trash, that has always kept me structured into a very particular kind of "Greer."365 views

Whatever your story is, re-write it.
by Nadine McNeil on Sep 2, 2011
How would your life be different if instead you had been told to do onto yourself as you do onto others? Herein lies the delicate balance between selfishness and selflessness. Inbalanced, many of us are left feeling angry, afraid, resentful and weary.1,701 views

Sexy Is Dead. ~ Nicole Maniez
by elephantjournal.com on Sep 2, 2011
I think of sexy. I hear it in my yoga classes sometimes. I read it in my self-help books, cook books, and women’s empowerment books. My favorite online mindfulness journal has a sexy section. What is sexy anymore? We have killed the word sexy.291 views

Buttons. We All Have ‘Em.
by Amy Nobles Dolan on Sep 2, 2011
After a decade of practicing yoga, I can say without a doubt, that one of the best gifts I have received from the practice is a cooler head. I’m better able to roll with the punches. I’m more likely to let the little stuff slide. I think I’m easier to live with. I know I’m more level-headed. And I’m pretty sure that it takes more nowadays to push my buttons.479 views

Dancing without Fear. ~ Tania Kazi
by elephantjournal.com on Sep 1, 2011
In that moment of complete surrender, a sudden and unexpected sense of fear gripped me. The fear of completely letting go, feeling myself free-falling off the edge of my mind, willingly allowing just the wind and this music to carry me seemed vast and unfathomable. As a bigger, deeper, larger-than-self took over, a side I was unaware of, a strength I was not familiar with; something small and anxious within me suddenly constricted and surreptitiously started to hold me back. The ego began to make its presence known.4,706 views

Union Warrior. ~ Julie Balter
by elephantjournal.com on Sep 1, 2011
For close to ten years I kept a framed photo in my office of Sally as Norma holding the union sign. What's so interesting to me now is that as I was writing this, I realized her iconic celluloid image assumes the exact essence of Warrior One, the asana that is my latest obsession.691 views
