Magazines for the Heart and Mind

Below are some magazines that are informative, often revelational and rewarding. Pick up a copy and check them out when you have a moment.

Most yoga studios carry Yoga Journal, Yoga+Joyful Living, Shambhala Sun and Ascent. You can most often find Natural Health, body+soul at Whole Foods.

The Yoga Journal
www.yogajournal.com
The Yoga Journal covers the spectrum of issues from health to fitness, food, home, work, relationships and spirituality. It's steeped in yogic philosophy and doctrine. The magazine offers a really helpful guide to developing a home yoga practice and one of the neatest sections of the magazine for me is "anatomy", where they analyze the mechanics of one particular pose.

Yoga + Joyful Living (formerly Yoga International)

Yoga + Joyful Living has recently been revamped and possibly has new owners. You can sign-up for the most recent issue online.
