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” ?

We’ve been wondering how long it would take for news on the health of Corporate Yoga to pop up, because we’ve been waiting for a good reason to talk about it. Amid the turbulence, strung out citizens seem to be clinging to yoga as stress relief even more these days, and who could need it [...]
So we saw the headline “Credit Crunch Yoga” and thought it was our YogaTag pal (of the actual creditcrunchyoga.com). Alas, more than anything else, this post on trendhunter is an ad for Les Leventhal’s $20/mo podcast yoga. Shysters.
