Today a gruesome update to the murder of NY Realtor-to-the-stars, Linda Stein, who was “whacked” by her assistant in 2007. A tape that aired yesterday shows the assistant’s confession, and details of the “whacking” with the infamous weapon of choice, the “yoga stick,” described as a 3-foot baton. We’re still not entirely sure what that [...]

OK, we know we’ve been on the Lululemon beat quite a bit this week, but we are a yoga blog afterall, (and dorks!) so here we go… A window display in the Oak Brook Center, a mall in the suburb of Chicago, is turning some heads and drawing customer comments in the form of praise [...]

We may take issue with the philosophy pushing, exorbitantly high-priced yoga wear and creepy political ads, (etc.), but if there’s one thing Lululemon does do right it’s offer free classes. Many locations (which seem to be springing up like weeds – check outside your window) offer free weekly classes taught by instructors from local studios [...]

Yesterday we posted about the recent Yoga Journal cutbacks and subsequent demise of their blogs. However, it seems Yoga Buzz is still, er, buzzing, as best it can, with intrepid “Daily Insight” newsletter scribe Erica Rodefer. Officially she’s an Associate Online Editor, who will have her fingers in many blogpots, so to speak. 2009: year [...]

UPDATED 1/22/09 This is Lululemon’s kinda cute, rather creepy “Ombama” ad currently featured on the back cover of the Jan/Feb issue of Yoga Journal. Something about it just weirds us out. Their explanation: “Yoga brings about transformation and change, just as a new president does. ” lululemon flickr Except Obama isn’t a yogi as far [...]

The spiraling economy really has us all in a bind. A nagging question all the yogis out there are wondering is just how profoundly will it affect the business of yoga? Early on there were reports of people strung out from layoffs and drained 401(k)s flocking to yoga studios and gyms in search of stress [...]

According to the New York Times, the Western-brand of yoga is all about dispelling the “spiritual hokey-pokey” and getting “real.” Well ok, but we have to just pipe up and say that we honestly can’t even recall a class where they upheld this rigid, austere image as mentioned in the article; it seems humor has [...]
