Everything I Need to Know about Yoga I Learned from Pro-wrestling. ~ Lori Flynn
by elephantjournal.com on Sep 13, 2011
Wrestling is fake. That’s what we hear over and over. To clarify, the outcome of a match may be pre-determined, but the actions that take place are real – the lifting, the throwing, the flying, the punching, the kicking, etc. A professional wrestler spends years in training with a reputable school before getting booked for a reputable promotion. During that training, we learn to work together and protect one another, while creating the illusion of struggle.736 views

Call it abundance, success, prosperity, cold hard cash…can you have that and be spiritual?
by Aminda R. Courtwright on Sep 12, 2011
I believe that it is almost incumbent on the yoga/mindful community to practice business in a mindful cooperative way because we should be the leaders in doing things differently...and I'm not alone in these beliefs.....face it; part of the reason for getting into was to actually enjoy what we do...but why do we have to sacrifice monetary compensation? Why can't we have both????1,501 views

Laverne and Shirley Get Grilled By Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid (AKA Bob and Waylon)
by Jennifer Cusano on Sep 12, 2011
Sometimes you come online and there is this opportunity to be a web rager, just like a road rager. You're a web rager on comments or blogs because you don’t have anywhere to take out your frustrations. You’re kind of in this traffic of all these people moving, like five lane traffic in L.A. My Yoga teacher always says, "You think you're enlightened and then you get out of Yoga class and someone cuts you off, and you flip them off? Well, think again."669 views

Yoga & the Commodification of the True Self.
by Carol Horton on Sep 12, 2011

by Jackie Summers on Sep 11, 2011
