Blogs & forums

You have to be ded­i­cated, coura­geous and a bit exhi­bi­tion­ist to want to lay out your yoga prac­tice in a blog. Writ­ing about a phys­i­cal and spir­i­tual prac­tice is a tall order because it takes time and open­ness about one’s per­sonal life. You have to be care­ful to give the most accu­rate descrip­tion of the prac­tice or med­i­taiton or what­ever, and it may be open to misinterpretation.

Forums

Most forums will require prior reg­is­tra­tion to have full access. There are new kinds of online inter­ac­tions, like the Tribe link below.

  • Mov­ing into Still­ness: the forum has a group of reg­u­lars, as well as the input from Erich Schiff­mann himself.
  • Yoga Sci­ence Forum
  • Yoga.com
  • Tribe – All Yoga
  • Yoga MeetUp
  • Ash­tanga Yoga Forum: very active and informed.
  • Live Journal’s Yoga Com­mu­nity – more blog­gers.
  • Yoga­mates: It’s got more than just forums; it’s a kind of full-​​service yoga stop [MLS: Gaiam shut down this com­mu­nity site in May 2010 - a shame that they could not keep the site up, even though it was no longer gen­er­at­ing new con­tent, but since online com­mu­ni­ties always require upkeep, it would have been a cost center. ]
