Who Reads Yoga Journal?
Yoga Journal is for both the beginning and advanced practitioner, and the casual and committed reader.
What You Can Expect in Each Issue:
- Basics: Yoga Journal's most popular column, Basics makes yoga asana and philosophy accessible to students who are new to the practice and long-time practitioners looking for a refresher course.
- Eating Wisely: How we eat is a reflection of how we live, and for yogis, this means making thoughtful decisions about what goes on the menu. Eating Wisely examines the deep connections between spirit and food.
- Home Practice: Starting a home practice can be a big challenge for yogis. Personal Practice provides all the tools readers need to roll out their mats at home.
- Master Class: Offers in-depth instruction for the serious practitioner. Written by authoritative master yoga teachers.
- Media: A critical discussion of the latest and most noteworthy books, music, DVDs, videos, and audiotapes.
- Om: High-energy and fun to read, Om tells readers all they need to know about trends, news, fashion, people, places, and things that make the world of yoga fun and rewarding.
- Features: Features always look at some aspect of yoga, whether for physical, emotional, or spiritual well being. Some current examples: Creating a Yoga space at home; using yoga to release yourself from addiction.
Past Issues: Contributors: Most contributors are writers who have a long-established yoga practice. Current writers include Stacie Stukin, Hillari Dowdle, Dayna Macy, Nora Isaacs, and more. Magazine Layout: It is clean, featuring magnificent original illustrations and photos. It is more text than visual, with the visual in service of the article, and the reader's pleasure. Comparisons to Other Magazines: Yoga Journal is the most widely read and respected yoga magazine in the country. There are other yoga magazines but they are largely regional. Advertising: National advertisers across many categories including Aveda, Sigg, Lululemon Athletica, Ford, Eileen Fisher, and more. Product DescriptionYoga Journal has been a valuable resource for information about physical and spiritual well-being through the practice of yoga. Yoga Journal is your guide to better health, nutrition, personal growth, fitness and inner peace. You ll learn revitalizing yoga techniques taught by the masters. |

 Contradictory February 19, 2003

Many times I've been referred to an article on the online site for Yoga Journal that speaks to the rapid commercialization of yoga. Generally pleased with some of the articles, I subscribed to the magazine, which turned out to be a bad choice. The magazine, while having a few relevant articles, is no different than any other fashion publlication in the number of advertisements for non-essential paraphernalia. I've been practicing yoga for a year now and have never missed use of these elements, nor have I any interest in adding them at this stage.I believe yoga is significantly more than which blocks help with better alignment, and wish that this were a magazine that supported this fact. While I understand the value of adequate advertising to the success of a magazine publication, I can't help but wonder if the writers who submitted articles on the commercialisation of yoga have actually had a chance to browse through the magazine. Subsequent to my subcription to Yoga Journal, I have made contact with Yoga International and will be reviewing that publication before making another such misguided decision.
 A wonderful resource November 17, 2003

I've subscribed to YJ off and on over the last few years. Off because I just don't have the time to read everything in it. This is a fabulous magazine no matter where you are in your practice. Every issue has an article on anatomy that is practical and interesting, an in-depth study of a selected asana that is meant for beginners but has useful information for everyone, meditation articles, diet articles. Just an abundance with real respect for the roots of yoga. I have read that some people in the yogic community dislike YJ's commercialization and competitiveness. If these are fair criticisms that is unfortunate since they must not be reading their own publication. Otherwise I can recommend this magazine without reservation. I learn so much about body and spirit in every issue and it continues to inspire and inform my practice. Their website is also excellent and loaded with free content. Namaste.
Extremely useful resource for home yoga practitioners February 18, 2004

Yoga Journal is an excellent resource, particularly for those who practice yoga mainly at home and who are looking to further their practice. Yes, the magazine is somewhat commercialized--there are a ton of ads in addition to articles on various new yoga products and trends--but to me, that's also an indication of the publication's open-mindedness to all styles and types of yoga.
This is a magazine which helps make yoga accessible to everyone, whether you prefer an Easternized or Westernized version of practice. Each issue includes a beginner's look at a particular asana plus an in-depth depth focus on a more advanced asana; featured articles include more posture work as well as more general health and wellness topics. Whenever I pick up this magazine, I never fail to find several articles of interest to me, and I always wind up saving the issue for future reference.
Yoga Journal is definitely a worthwhile subscription or occasional indulgence for your well-being; highly recommended for yogis of all levels!
 So so January 2, 2006

Good articles, BUT too many advertisment. The first time I read this magazine was 1 year ago, and the difference with the increase in adds is big. It is annoying to go thru a magazine and have the feeling that you saw more adds than articles, and you just flip a page, and an ad, next page an ad, etc.
Editors should filter the ads, I don't think Yoga is for having the om sign in a diamong necklace!! (or some shiny rock that looks like diamonds)as the one page advertisement. Do I want to open the magazine an see the first 6 pages with advertisement for chevrolet?
A Valued Resource December 15, 2004

Yoga Journal is a wonderful magazine packed full of valuable information not limited to asanas. They have articles on food or ayurveda, alternative medicine and spirituality, as well as meditation, and what to look for in a yoga instructor. Besides these they provide substitutions for postures and practices when that scary inversion is simply just too much for the time being. They have full-page photos of postures that are good for cutting out and putting in a binder for creating a personal yoga workbook full of asanas relevant to you. I find that with every issue I learn something unexpected and valuable.
