Now, I don't know too much about the actual practice of Yoga, but I do know I love to attempt yoga as my main source of excersize. I go to Barnes and Noble quite often and am always looking for new sources of information. One day upon searching through the magazines I decided this looked like a good one.

Not knowing a lot about the actual forms of yoga, this book was a little confusing at first with all the yogi lingo, but other than that, it's a good start.

There are a few different sections that appear each month that I seriously look forward to: yoga news, trends, travel locations (OM page); the Body and Spirit section covers issues that which we have to deal with in this day and age, such as violence, resolutions, education, etc; an Athletic section covers more active ways to implement yoga and healthy activities into your life; Living Yoga, the section for the more experienced deals with others ideas and practices, a deeper look into the philosophy; The profile section is just that, and is usually beyond my grasp; Off the Couch is another interesting section that caters more to the ideas of how we interact with the world around us; Teacher to Teacher is a section introducing books, music, readings, etc. to learn more about yoga, as is the section Mixed media, dealing specifically with books, movies, and music; and Centering is about everyday people and their ways of yoga.

My favorite section in this book is the Asana section, which introduces a new asana, or yoga position, each time. My other favorite section is the Well Being section, which covers health, nutrition, and herbs. The Eating Wisely section, I would say, is probably the most informative however (due to an article in the may issue about milk).

I look forward to when this magazine comes out, and when it does I rush to Barnes and Noble, then go home to read in on the living room floor. I share information out of this with people at work, and the people I live with. Even though I'm still no expert at yoga, this magazine helps motivate me, and gives me wonderful ideas on how to start practicing. If you are an experienced yogi, or a beginner, I'd say it's a great magazine to read either way. Very informative in general, and it's not as bland as most other yoga magazines.
