C - How to Support this Site

As modern yogis we believe that information that can change your life should be progressively priced.  That means you decide what you can afford. The fairest way for things to be priced is as a percentage of your income. This is called progressive because in this way the rich and the poor pay the same amount proportionate to their station in live. It is pretty much common sense if you think about.

The happiness of the modern yogi

Happiness is the birthright of every spirit-soul, at least according to the Sanskrit saying, Ananda-mayo bhyasat. That is good news we can all use. After all, many of us have experienced moments of happiness; yet an enduring, persistent kind of happiness has been largely elusive.

So where is this birthright of bliss of which the Vedas speak? An important clue lies hidden in a word we hear on almost a daily basis, “Yoga.” Not the yoga of stretchy-pretzel-limbed fame; but rather Yoga as the timel… Continue

Looks like we're going to be here a while…

Culver City, California – A tired and poor black man shuffles by the Starbucks. A motivated-pencil-skirted young woman strides briskly into the store. A hip-hop based soundtrack plays over the scene from a Mercedes Benz idling at the stop light. Jacaranda-tree-filtered-sunlight gently fills the outdoor patio. The question occurs to me at that precise moment. What is this place? What am I doing here?
