As you may have noticed, I haven't posted in quite awhile-- but now I've returned! Check back here for regular posts on yoga news, book reviews, and general musings on all things yoga from yours truly.
Now, onto the good stuff:
The weekend before last, I spent two days at Yoga Journal's New York City Conference, held at the Hilton Hotel in midtown Manhattan. Imagine thousands of eager yogis filling up thousands of feet of conference room space, mats flying, sweat mingling, products being sold, and good times being had by all! It was a crazy cacophony of music, teachers' cues and chatter, and I couldn't have had a better time. (Note: I do NOT get paid by YJ to endorse this stuff!)
Over the space of two days, I attended six separate workshops, focusing on everything from meditation to anatomy to Anusara Yoga, learning from yoga teachers like Cyndi Lee, Aadil Palkhivala, Jason Crandell, Desiree Rumbaugh and Roger Cole. Where else can you find all of those teachers in one space, I ask you? Plus, I got to hang out with my fabulous yoga friend, Julie (who teaches at Devotion Yoga in Hoboken. Check her out!)
Overall, I loved the conference, and would heartily recommend that anyone interested in yoga check it out next year (the conference runs from April 12-16 in 2012). There's plenty of free stuff to take advantage of, from the open-to-the-public marketplace to free community classes each day.
Namaste, folks
Emily
