Have no fear! Were you worried the Recession would never bounce back like your footprints on an extra squooshy yoga mat? Yoga (the practice and the business) has held strong through this saggy economy, which took a face plant over a year ago. But hey, a little goalsetting and profit forecast adjusting later and [...]

Soo how is that yoga job going? ahem. Ya know, it’s funny. We saw this article go up days ago, we knew it was coming too, and still we procrastinate in commenting. It’s been like stretching our psoas after a long day of chair sitting to gather our thoughts. Torturous! Why? Have we said all [...]

In what seems to be the most difficult time for a studio to introduce teacher training, what with the sunken economy and all that licensing beeswax, Pure Yoga turns up its luxurious schnoz at all that and is sallying forth with a brand shiny new teacher training program!

Gawker adorably refers to them as the “funemployed,” the group of laid off and seemingly well-off citizens who are grabbing this unemployment thing by the horns and making the most if it.

Here we go again. TIME mag inducing the “Ugh” factor. oh man we have so much to say about this…our sharp tongues are piqued.
Sadly we just can’t expect TIME to bring us any relevant yoga news anymore. We mean no malice, but they already muddled the little part about YogaWorks opening up a NYC location [...]

Hot under the collar about being laid off? Burned out on job search?
If you live in Scottsdale, AZ, that’s understandable, it’s going to be 100 degrees today! But, if you’re thirsty for stress relief, out of a job, and really in need of that extra sizzle, by like 10 degrees, stop on by the [...]

We’re not sure we’re doing the Integral Yoga Institute any favors by posting this, but here we go…
Remember when we got all bummer pants on you and predicted having to resort to food stamps to pay for yoga, and how the do-gooders out there should start an organization benefiting “Yoga for the Unemployed” ?
