Yogis Unite!

Yoga gets a lot of hype, but as a dedicated yoga-goer for almost 10 years now, we have to say the practice deserves all the attention it's getting. Whether you're plagued by anxiety, insomnia, stiff joints, back pain, lethargy, or even allergies, a dedicated yoga practice can probably help you alleviate a lot of symptoms. It's great for your body and even better for your mind. It's like learning to breathe all over again. In addition to increased flexibility and strength, you'll probably find yourself more alert, more energetic, and calm in situations that would normally make your heart race or your temper fester. Honestly, we can't say enough about yoga and the benefits we've garnered from it. Which is why we're pleased to tell you about the 5th Annual Yoga Journal San Francisco Yoga Conference. Put on by one of our fave mags, the conference offers everything from workshops on specific poses to lectures by renowned folks in the yoga world to classes on virtually every type of yoga out there. Whether you're a newbie or an experienced backbender, you'll no doubt get something out of the weekend that will help you on and off the mat. The conference takes place from January 18 - January 21 so check out the schedule and see all it has to offer. Namaste!
