tips, tools, & wisdom on yoga, books, & technology
Get your bliss on anywhere with a new yoga app for your iPhone or iPod Touch. iTunes has a decent number of yoga apps available. Some look good, some look horrid, but this one featuring Deepak Chopra and Tara Stiles looks promising.
Any recommendations for iPhone yoga apps? I’m possibly in the market, but don’t want to waste money on something that’s not top-notch.
Most of us would love to make meditation a part of our lives. Unfortunately, when we actually get around to trying it (rather than just reading or thinking about it), we feel distracted, think we’re doing it wrong, or feel like we just can’t spare the time. It’s a real mental battle just to push the [...]
After an illustrious lifetime of expounding yogic wisdom to the eager masses, it only seems fitting that B.K.S. Iyengar, the undisputed heavyweight champion of the modern-day yoga bible, turns his gaze toward yoga’s foundational philosophical text, the Yoga Sutras. In Core of the Yoga Sutras, Mr. Iyengar provides unique commentary on Patanjali’s 196 aphorisms that [...]
“Insanely great” would hardly describe how this past week unfolded for Apple’s stock price… While it won’t raise the price of your Apple shares, this Lego re-creation of a 1984 Macintosh should warm your heart up a little bit. Legos always cheer me up! Don’t lose hope for Apple…look how far they’ve come!! Believe in INSANELY GREAT!

The simplicity of yoga is one of its most beautiful and appealing aspects. Not a lot of equipment required, right?… Well, a yoga mat isn’t necessarily even an absolute necessity, but I think most of us would admit yoga isn’t nearly as pleasant without a little sticky mat under our feet and hands. Everything else [...]

I’ve always been a big believer that yoga + running = a match made in heaven. This smooth 30 minute yoga practice, led by official lululemon SeaWheeze ambassador Kerri Kelly, is perfect for runners who need to get a little bendy after pounding the pavement. I won’t be able to run SeaWheeze this year, but [...]
Bhakti Fest is celebrating its fourth season September 6 – 9 at the Joshua Tree Desert Retreat Center, in Joshua Tree, CA. Yoga, kirtan music and wisdom workshops will be offered in the tradition of the dynamic Bhakti Fests since 2009.
According to Sridhar Silberfein, Founder and Producer of the Bhakti Fests, “Bhakti is devotion to love. Shining within and without like the sun. We emanate pure love whenever and wherever we go, giving unconditional love to everyone, especially our personal relationships. This year’s Bhakti Fest will be a total immersion in this love for all the presenters and attendees.”

“Yoga, as a way of life and a philosophy, can be practiced by anyone with inclination to undertake it, for yoga belongs to humanity as a whole. It is not the property of any one group or any one individual, but can be followed by any and all, in any corner of the globe, regardless of class, creed or religion.” - Sri K. Pattabhi Jois
I would recommend YogaPRO, which had a good amount of information on each pose and goes into great detail with step by steps, benefits, anatomical focus, therapeutic applications, variations and modifications, and prep and post poses.
GoYoga is pretty good too, although doesn’t have as many poses.
YogaCardz has some good routines with a timer. I am also interested in checking out the Deepak Chopra app, if its any good. Thanks for this.

Thanks Tess! I’ve seen YogoPRO a little (haven’t downloaded it yet), but hadn’t come across the others you mentioned. I’m going to do some research into those and probably blog the results. Namaste!
Thanks for the mention. To be clear Authentic Yoga’s not available just yet but should be submitted to the App Store next week and available shortly thereafter. It has lots of content, routines, instruction, poses, etc.
Thanks for the timeline David. Look forward to using the app!
