Yoga Journal (1-year auto-renewal)

I am just starting my yoga practice, and as I looked for more details of poses and such online after class, I kept ending up on the YogaJournal.com website. Last time grocery shopping I picked up a copy, couldn't put it down, and ordered a subscription. As a beginner I have found it VERY interesting with articles on how yoga is helping patients mentally and physically with breast cancer, common sense articles on herbs for ailments AND yoga poses to ease an ailment also, many others--I read it literally cover to cover. I found it really helpful to go from class (a bunch of ladies bonding over our struggles to balance or stay in a pose) to how the rest of the (yoga) world perceives/practices/enriches through yoga! I found it perfectly readable for a complete beginner to augment class instruction (oooh the possibilities!!!) to wanting to set it aside and review as I get further along in the future. And their website is a wealth of information as well.

I'm really quite fond of this magazine. It does a very good job of mixing in a variety of aspects of a yoga life, and addressing each aspect in a helpful and entertaining manner.

There are of course pages on poses, with clear photos, succinct instructions and explanations on how to modify them if you have to. There are pages on eating healthy. There are stories from people in a variety of walks of life, talking about how even minor changes in their lifestyle brought about significant results.

Then there are the pages which can make a huge difference in another way. A recent article had an article on forgiveness how it is so important not to carry grudges and hatred. Those feelings rarely harm to "person who did you wrong" but they eat up your own body, filling you with stress, tension, and unhappiness. It's amazing how many people I run into who carry these kinds of whole-heart grudges, often from incidents 10 or more years ago!

If you're more advanced, there is content for you as well. Articles about some of the intricate details of yoga might seem a bit complex for newbies, but if you store your magazines, after a few months going back and re-reading those articles can bring fresh information.

There are articles about youngsters doing yoga, older people doing yoga, and anything in between. There are ads for very expensive retreats in exotic locations but also information on being mindful in a frugal manner.

I do have to say that most of the images shown are of young, 20-something sexy models, and it'd be nice to show a wider selection of people doing the poses. Still, that complaint can probably be made with just about every magazine out there.

Well recommended!

Read Best Reviews of Yoga Journal (1-year auto-renewal) Here

Let me start out that I paid $5 for a one-year subscription to this magazine, that to my understanding will be 6 issues. The cover advertises the stand price as $4.99 an issue, so I'm very please with the price I paid....Reason primarily being that this magazine is two-thirds advertisements! Very nearly every time I turn the page there is one full page of ads and in many cases, the side with content has 1/3 page ad or the occasional 2/3!!!

Ohh I enjoy some of the articles, the depth of the yogi mindset seems to be in every one of them. The many pictures are very inspiration with a few lines here and there that I like to write down for inspiration as well. In a nutshell: Depending on the price, I will probably renew. It's a nice read, however halfway through the magazine I'm incredibly annoyed with the amount of advertisements for expensive extras. I will update as the year goes on as to whether the articles are too similar from one month to another.

Want Yoga Journal (1-year auto-renewal) Discount?

I've been practicing yoga for a little over two years and therefore consider myself to be an intermediate beginner. I've been receiving Yoga Journal for four months and regret that I had not subscribed earlier. It has broadened my view of yoga in general and provided excellent advise on how to improve my practice via pose specific instruction and photographs as well as describing the actual benefits internally and externally of the pose itself on my body. I intend to renew this subscription when the time comes.
