Remember your New Years’ Resolutions? No? Here are the Buddha’s all 12 (apocryphal) ways to fix that.
by Ricardo das Neves on Feb 10, 2012
My guess is if the Buddha did New Years’ Resolutions, the Four Noble Truths would’ve looked like this: 1. In life there is time-wasting 2. The origin of time-wasting is unconsciousness 3. To stop being unconscious you must know what you want and what you don’t want (duh!) 4. To know what you want and what you don’t want, walk the noble twelvefold path....134 views

Confessions of a Fat Chainsmoker in Yoga Class. ~ Greg Eckard
by elephantjournal.com on Jan 30, 2012
I wore sweatpants and a t-shirt from my favorite greasy spoon diner to hide my big, hairy pot belly. Retreating immediately into the corner, I unfurled my yoga mat. I attempted the two or three stretches I remembered vaguely from elementary school gym class, staring intently at the ground and hoping no one would notice me.2,828 views

Don’t Touch My F*cking Toast. ~ Cameron Gilley
by elephantjournal.com on Jan 27, 2012
Over the past 96 hours I have created out of him the most elaborate super-villain. This toast-stealing scoundrel, who would step over his own starving children to get the last piece of toast all for himself, dropping crumbs and dripping honey on them as he satisfies his own selfish desires. And I’m the hero, glowing with the radiance of justice, avowed to make him pay for his crimes.1,503 views

Ridiculous But Hilarious Vegan Song {Video}.
by Karl Saliter on Jan 21, 2012
Just in from our clever researchers in the Must-See Department: Johnathan Mann and Ivory King are forging new territory here in the almost invisible genre of “fun vegan education.” More than that, it’s a solid beat with clever combo of lyrics and dialogue. Top marks, and if you can watch Ivory say, “Let’s have a snack” at the end without instantly loving her, you are asleep at the wheel, my friend.325 views

7 Reasons you should get Stabbed in 2012.

Maybe you came in for back pain, or carpal tunnel or a broken leg that won’t heal. Acupuncture has an amazing way of getting the body back to balance so that in addition to helping with your complaints, you suddenly find yourself with the best sleep you’ve had in 20 years, or reacting more calmly to the stuff life throws at you, etc.3,809 views

10 Things Vegans Are Not.
by Karl Saliter on Jan 18, 2012
Like ninjas, vegans are often unceremoniously lumped into stereotypes. Unlike ninjas, we don’t get to dress in black and kick serious butt and field really cool movie offers (Well, most of us don’t.). But maybe, we can have our day in the sun here on elephant journal, in the debunking room. So, the ten things vegans are not, are…2,130 views

I Have A Dream: Students I’d Like to See in Class this Year. ~ Michelle Berman Marchildon
by elephantjournal.com on Jan 16, 2012
Since Martin Luther King Jr. was about dreams, this is a list of who I’d really like to see in yoga class this year. I hope the Universe is listening: • George Clooney. Class will be canceled if he shows up. Booooyah! nicogenin • Erma Bombeck. It’s a long shot, but hey, I’m a dreamer. • Jane Fonda. Love her. She is showing all of us the way after 50, or 60 or 70. • Oprah. She will probably dig my theme because it may have come from her.550 views

What Color Isn’t Your Parachute? ~ Maureen Chura
by elephantjournal.com on Jan 14, 2012
I am slowly learning to embrace my vocational schizophrenia. Each new endeavor has given me a chance to uncover a part of myself that I never knew existed (who knew e-mail campaign analytics could be so interesting?) and has allowed me to redefine myself within each new group dynamic.285 views

Silly Yoga Pose Names
by Joseph Boquiren on Jan 9, 2012
I've encountered these pose names from both teachers and students during my several years of practice. The poses aren't really trademarked. One can also read this as a statement on the corrosive, balkanizing practice of 'branding' yoga in this country.522 views
