Posts by elephantjournal.com:
I am Utterly Obsessed. ~ Chelsea Tegtmanby elephantjournal.com on Feb 10, 2012 I believe I have become utterly obsessed with my body image and what I am putting into my body. I would probably even be considered to have an "eating disorder." Geeze, what a huge bummer! Or is it? Maybe this realization isn’t such a bummer; maybe it’s the doorway to loving myself again and the window to seeing the true image of the person in the mirror.20 views |
You Call That an Article? ~ David Regelinby elephantjournal.com on Feb 10, 2012 The article had taken a fragment of our two interview sessions, wherein I spoke of the transformational potential of a yoga practice, and turned it into a four page rant and complain session.97 views |
The Loneliness of Meditation. ~ Sheila Singhby elephantjournal.com on Feb 9, 2012 After more than six months of consistent practice, my meditation has become an almost lonely place of self observation. I watch as various thoughts fire off, one at a time. And each time I return back to my breath. Trying not to judge, to anticipate, to linger. Just returning to the breath.155 views |

Tending Love’s Fire. ~ Christian de la Huertaby elephantjournal.com on Feb 9, 2012 Similarly, though its initial spark might be as simple as lighting a match, maintaining a relationship is a complex endeavor requiring effort and attention. Using a bow, string and spindle stick to make fire is not easy, and neither is keeping a relationship alive.242 views |
For The Brokenhearted From My Heart To Yours. ~ Leah Neasby elephantjournal.com on Feb 8, 2012 Heartbreak truly is one of the worst pains that we can suffer. There is a light at the end of the tunnel- the pain will not last forever.173 views |
Denver: Kirtan Event with Dave Stringer this Friday, February 10th.by elephantjournal.com on Feb 8, 2012 Catch the live music/yoga class with Denver's own Denise Cook and Hilary O'Toole at 6 p.m., or come for the Kirtan (sacred chant) concert at 8 p.m. The call and response form of mantra chanting known as Kirtan is a consciousness-transforming practice, directing the singers to vanish into the song as drops merge into the ocean.138 views |

Off the Uniform, into the Practice. ~ Rachael Arabianby elephantjournal.com on Feb 8, 2012 So here I am, about to end an eight year military career to teach yoga.84 views |

What Yoga Does to Your Sleep. ~ Max Zografosby elephantjournal.com on Feb 8, 2012 Life is temporary. I have another fifty years, sixty even (best case scenario…if I stay vegan and don’t get hit by a bus).155 views |
It Starts Here. ~ S. Ashley Huntby elephantjournal.com on Feb 8, 2012 On how to direct your energy physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.166 views |
The Missing Link between the Physical and Spiritual: How the British Colonialist Deliberately Sabotaged Yoga. ~ Simon Hollingtonby elephantjournal.com on Feb 8, 2012 Human evolution was never meant to be left to chance. The means to work with one’s own biochemistry in order to alter negative health and emotional patterns, by altering your own DNA, is central to the tantric alchemical tradition and the missing link to evolution through yoga.213 views |
Flip it: Guys & Girls swap roles at a bar.by elephantjournal.com on Feb 7, 2012 …1,800 views |
What Men Really Want. ~ Richard Sanchezby elephantjournal.com on Feb 7, 2012 When haven’t you ever just jogged a little faster; or did a few more push-ups at the gym; risked “herniating” something by the free weights; or played your guitar a little louder; or danced a little more conspicuously in a nightclub; or changed into your lucky pair of jeans; or adjusted your spectacles; or strategically cleared your throat; or put on your sunglasses; or spoke in a lower, manlier voice in the presence of a lady?2,349 views |
Are You a Divine Being on a Cosmic Quest? ~ Lisa Riveraby elephantjournal.com on Feb 7, 2012 As I have gotten older, it seems my level of discernment has only become clearer. This has been difficult at times as everyone wants to be liked, everyone wants to be part of something and everyone would like approval. But for me, none of those things seem to matter in my search for authenticity.386 views |
Being an Artist. ~ Tatum Bacchiby elephantjournal.com on Feb 7, 2012 Do you consider yourself an artist?145 views |
A Yogini’s Guide to the Fine Art of Friendship (or, Girl, Stop Dissing Me for Your Man.) ~ Marthe Weyandtby elephantjournal.com on Feb 7, 2012 Having a few good friends (and I don’t mean 1,000 plus Facebook friends) is important in today’s fast-paced world. As young people delay marriage and move far from family for work or educational reasons, we find ourselves relying more heavily on female friends than women of generations past. We talk. We have coffee or lunch. We dish about really creepy dates or bad jobs. Think of the popularity of shows featuring platonic pals, like Sex and the City. Friends become one’s surrogate family.378 views |
Radiant Mom Yoga with Janet Stone: The Gifts We Keep. ~ Emily Perryby elephantjournal.com on Feb 7, 2012 As a mother, new or otherwise, overcoming a sense of isolation can be a big hurdle, and so sharing our story can be a relief: we feel that we are seen.249 views |

Give Grains a Chance. ~ By Leslie Cerierby elephantjournal.com on Feb 6, 2012 Want to be deeply nourished? Eat whole grains! Loaded with B vitamins, vitamin E, magnesium, iron, fiber, and valuable antioxidants not found in fruits and vegetables, whole grains give you tasty protection against cancer, stroke, heart disease, diabetes, and obesity.138 views |
A Taste of the Yoga Sutras, Part 2. ~ Camella Nairby elephantjournal.com on Feb 6, 2012 Our sweet tooth can be satiated in many ways and the healthiest approach would depend upon our constitution. Part 2 of a food and sutra series.116 views |
Government Regulated Yoga? ~ Ira Israelby elephantjournal.com on Feb 6, 2012 The studio will close and the state government will step in to regulate all aspects of Teacher Training the same way they regulate all aspects of becoming a licensed psychotherapist....The problem for me is that 90% of what's being called yoga in America has little to do with the original purpose of yoga, uniting with the divine.106 views |
Moodiness to the Rescue: An Automotive Fable. ~ Halli Bourneby elephantjournal.com on Feb 6, 2012 What then, would explain my nagging discontent and the inability to snap out of it?37 views |
Yoga: Hurt or Heal? ~ Adri Kyserby elephantjournal.com on Feb 6, 2012 Only when we move to a place of self-awareness, self-love, compassion and being present in the moment, will Yoga help heal the entire being.146 views |

Hey NYT, My Body Was Wrecked Before Yoga! ~ Anthony Grim Hallby elephantjournal.com on Feb 5, 2012 So my knees were shot, as was my back, and probably my liver. I was overweight and suffered from stress. I felt bloated after every meal, developed kidney stones and had to have my gall bladder removed—my body was wrecked, just living your life can do that!598 views |
Teaching Children about Diversity. ~ Jenny Sue Kostecki-Shawby elephantjournal.com on Feb 4, 2012 When I present my book at schools and see American children bowing to each other saying, “Namaste” and asking to “play more yoga,” or when I am chanting the ancient Sanskrit alphabet call-and-response-style with hundreds of African American or Latino students, I am heartened to see their curiosity bloom as they discover a new culture.63 views |
In Search of the Good Life: Elements that Lead to Happiness. ~ Donavan Wilsonby elephantjournal.com on Feb 4, 2012 We so easily lose track of the most important values in life. How can we identify the most essential elements to lead a good life?197 views |
Are You a Yoga Show Off? ~ Charlotte Bellby elephantjournal.com on Feb 4, 2012 When teachers show off, it causes at least some students to feel inadequate. Many will feel that they are not capable of doing yoga at all if they can’t do fancy poses. How many times have you heard someone say she can’t possibly do yoga because she is not flexible?3,488 views |
Shiva Rea & Sensuality. ~ Dee Greenbergby elephantjournal.com on Feb 4, 2012 I have eight solid years of yoga teacher training with Shiva Rea under my belt. Let it suffice to say that Shiva does not call it a transformational practice and an evolutionary journey for nothing.204 views |
When Did Self-Care Become Selfish? ~ Beth Berilaby elephantjournal.com on Feb 3, 2012 We cannot be sure to keep a grounded, clear, compassionate feminist vision of social change if we let ourselves get so burned out that our vision gets skewed and reactionary.167 views |
Be Careful of ‘Green’ Cleaning Products. ~ Dr. Joseph Mercolaby elephantjournal.com on Feb 3, 2012 The truth is, most cleaning products on the market are toxic chemical cocktails, and when you spritz your bathtub or kitchen counter with that brightly colored liquid you're exposing yourself and your family to endocrine-disrupting phthalates, carcinogenic benzene, and organ-damaging phenols, just to name a few.643 views |
Just a Little Wounded. ~ Tammy Foleyby elephantjournal.com on Feb 3, 2012 From the age of 13 I have suffered from anxiety, panic attacks, eating disorders and at times, hopelessness. These things are a direct result of being sexually abused as a child. I have sought therapy many times during my adult life, and each time I have worked through different emotions relating to the abuse.129 views |
Question of the Day: Does Practicing Yoga Cause Divorce? ~ Chrys Kubby elephantjournal.com on Feb 3, 2012 The thing is I truly believe that some people are meant to be in our lives for just a season, to teach us what we need to know and for us to teach them. Then when that time is over, we move on. And I believe the practice of yoga is a tool which helps us to see that more clearly, and if it is time to move on, we now have the courage to do so..494 views |
