 Commercialized? That's good...socialistic, that's bad! September 13, 2004

Jeez people, drop the criticism of this magazine being commercialized. Why don't you pay the magazines employees and bills, or better yet, start your own "state-owned" magazine.
The pictures are fantastic, the articles very informative, and the general "editorial balance" of the magazine is very consistent with "Yogic philosophy." For me, however, that is a complaint. I could do without the constant carping about eating meat and genetically modified food and the inference that all commercial cosmetics are unhealthy. I wanted to gag when YJ complimented Dennis Kuicinich for his notion of creating a department of peace. Can you say State Department? Nevertheless, the magazine is incredibly informative for novices and experts alike, reasonably priced, and a must have for those serious about their yoga practice. In a recent Washington Post article about yoga, it was reported that YJs circulation has increased dramatically. I can understand why that is the case.

To transform the world, we must begin with ourselves. ~J. Krishnamurti
My April 2005 copy of Yoga Journal is looking a little worse for wear. I was reading it in the tub and do take a rather extreme delight in ripping out pages of interest. I have to organize the new products to try in one pile and the pages about yoga postures in another. Then, there is the page about freeing yourself from destructive emotional patterns that I should read at least four more times and the recipe for Chocolate-Grand Marnier Dessert. Of course I'm fresh out of Grand Marnier so I have to save the recipe and put it in the "recipe to make soon" file.
The Yoga Journal is not just a fun read for me. I literally try to take the teaching and the ideas and put them into practice. Literally in Yoga practice and more intellectually in taming stress and taking control of my emotions. Not that Yoga is not intellectual because it really is a very intellectually enhancing exercise. Through reading about Yoga you can learn how to calm your mind and learn how to focus on what is important in life. To say Yoga has influenced me for the better is a great understatement. The happiest place in my day is perhaps at the end of a Yoga routine when I feel completely relaxed, without any negative emotions and have a sense that in the midst of the chaos of life, there is a place of peace inside me that I can escape to anytime I choose.
If you tend to buy Yoga "workouts" then you will appreciate the "yocabulary" to explore various Yoga words in more depth. There are book/video/music reviews for Yoga inspired items. The advertising seems mostly about Yoga retreats or new Yoga DVDs like Sara Ivanhoe's Natural Journeys 20 Minute Yoga Makeover routines, which I love.
Now the only question is, is the Aveeno body wash in my shower a result of seeing an advertisement in this magazine and how many more Tazo teas are there to try?
As the Wake Up to Your Life article states: "Why wait around for enlightenment when you can enjoy everyday awakenings." You just know someone's life was changed by reading that one line in this magazine. It definitely made me think. If you love collecting quotes or you enjoy learning more about your Yoga practice, this is an essential Yoga magazine.

 Informative and entertaining December 24, 2005

I find interesting articles in every issue I receive. I like the fact that the articles offer a wide range of topics. For example, you will find articles relating to diet, travel, relationships and physiology. All the issues provide yoga sequences that you can practice at home. The magazine will offer advanced sequences that are more physically demanding and simplier ones that are much less physically demanding. The articles portray nicely sized color photos of the pose with in-depth explanations on how to perform each pose. I am a visual person who needs to see the more complex poses performed in front of me rather than described in writing, so unfortunately, I can't take advantage of some of the more difficult sequences. However, if have been practicing yoga for some time and are familar enough with a wide range of poses, or can follow in-depth written instruction, you will enjoy these sections.
You may be surprised with the volume of advertisements found in each issue. It doesn't bother me because there still remains plenty of good reading in each issue. You will receive only 7 issues in a 12 month period. It would be nice to receive one every month.
Overall, an entertaining and informative magazine that I recommend. Yoga Journal also has a fantasic website that you can explore for free. The website offers many interesting articles and provides instruction and information on many common yoga poses.

I find the articles in this magazine inspiring.
This magazine provided me with in depth information on the different types of Yoga with a history of Yoga as well.
I always find little articles that are motivational as well as uplifting.

As a Yoga Instructor and practioner, Yoga Journal Magazine has been my guide and an inspirational tool to keep my practice and my teachings update. I have this suscription for more then three years and is always something in every issue that help me to reforce my education and learn from the different points of view of every writer, contributors and popular yoga instructors.
Also keep me post of the different yoga seminars, retrets, conferences, etc.
The only concern that I have is the publicity pages are growing.
