Take a Peace Vow Today

Now more than ever, it’s important for yogis to work for peace. But before we can take peace out into the world, we need to first bring it into our lives.

That’s the idea behind My Peace Vow, a site that encourages all beings to work towards ahimsa (nonharming). “We must take back the control to
take back inner harmony,” says Mother Maya Tiwari, the
spiritual leader and founder of the Wise Earth School of Ayurveda. “To transform violence into
awareness by cultivating ahimsa within. To heal poverty, to stop crimes,
to protect nature and humanity.”

Give Love!

A few weeks ago, the YJ staff got a special treat when MC Yogi and Amanda Giacomini stopped by our offices to teach our daily staff yoga class. We don’t usually practice with music here in the offices–mostly because our yoga room is also our conference room and isn’t really set up with a sound system–so I’m always grateful when we have a teacher come in with her own iPod docking station. Of course, we would expect no less from the infamous, self procraimed yoga “unrapper” . . . who came with a big, shiny boom box in tow. Sure, I was skeptical of the whole yoga hip-hop thing at first, but now, I’ll admit it. I’m a fan. So I was thrilled to see his newest video posted to Huffington Post today.

“It’s about being generous with ourselves with our hearts, with our time and with our energy,” he writes. “It affirms the universal principle of attraction. What we give is what we get.”

YJ Exclusive: Michigan Yoga Teacher Charged with Criminal Misdemeanor

By YJ correspondent Nancy O’Brien.

Yoga Journal,
tracking down furtive reports that a yoga teacher had been arrested in a
Michigan crackdown on unlicensed teacher training programs, has learned that
state police appeared at Dancing Feet Yoga in New Buffalo April 30 with a
warrant for the arrest of studio owner Don Wenig. The charge: operating a
proprietary school without a license, which carries a penalty of up to 90 days
in jail or a fine not to exceed $1,000–or both.
