Women make up slightly less than half of the NFL's fanbase. They're going to college in larger numbers than men. They're the Senators grabbing the legislative branch by the collar and dragging the country away from fiscal precipice. And yet! it's still weird for us when we try to use the weight room at a new gym. When …
A lily white yoga studio in idyllic Santa Barbara, California recently held a "Ghetto Fabulous" yoga class. In preparation, students were instructed to wear cornrows, snapback caps and heavy lipliner along with their lululemon leggings. Who knew gang signs could be so cute?! The invite promised to provide "various…
An ex-employee and two former students recently accused
Bikram Choudhury, the man who founded the now-ubiquitous and wildly trendy Bikram Yoga practice, is now facing allegations of rape, sexual harassment, racism, and homophobia from a former employee. This is the third accusation against the yoga guru: in May, IBT reported that he was accused of rape by two of his…
Lululemon, like many major
Author and artist MariNaomi sketches out the thoughts of anyone who has ever done downward dog or downward doggie style. (Sorry for "downward doggie style" — I have no idea what any sex positions are called.) (Except for the "Spaghetti noodle man", and I can say no more about that.)
Like deep-cleaning your bathroom or reading Middlemarch, running is one of those things you always mean to be darn good at once you get around to it.
A group of parents in Encinitas, CA are outraged that a local school is teaching the cult of yoga to their impressionable youth. Worried that their kids will forget all about the great Jesus Christ and start following that slut Ganesha down the path of temptation to get away from their Christian off-spring. Okay,…
Well, kind-of, it is a cat after all! Don't be so damn hard on the cat, let's see your damn sun salutations! Namaste, my friends.
Most of the myths concerning what women can't do during their periods — hang out around bears
For a while, we thought that 91-year-old Bernice Bates
You might remember WCW star Diamond Dallas Page from such hits as the "Self High Five" and "suing Jay-Z for doing a thing with his hands in a certain way," but did you know that he also invented yoga???
Stock photography is one of my favorite things about the internet. It's so corny and mysterious and strangely telling—like this weird mirror universe where everyone wears the same camisole and eats yogurt all day with confused white babies. It's like a window into Heaven for the most boring person in the world.
Arthur Boorman is a disabled veteran of the Gulf War who, after injuring his back as a paratrooper, was told by doctors that he would never again walk without crutches. Arthur's disability led to a substantial weight gain and subsequent depression, neither of which he was able to fight with exercise until he…
Dana Zemack has been making stick figure comics since she was 12. This week, she made one just for us.
Twenty-eight-year-old Aspen musician Vaughn Barnett was facing additional prison time for possessing 11 pounds of marijuana (which he said was "all trim from a legal marijuana grow in California"), but a judge let him off with 30 days and probation after he turned his life around with yoga. His lawyer says the jailhouse…
There's a big scandal brewing in the yoga world. (That's a world, right?) It centers around John Friend, creator of the popular practice of Anusara yoga. It turns out that behind the sunny facade promising fulfillment and happiness through yoga, there was some pretty dark shit happening. But now his sexual escapades…
As far as first world problems go, air travel is one of the worst. When you are on the plane, there is no leg room, you have to negotiate armrest real estate with your seat partner and flight attendants give you the side eye when you simply ask for the warm chocolate cookie that you were promised (never forgive, never…
Brittany Norwood, the woman who was charged last March
Women are apparently turning to target-shooting in increasing numbers. And some say they find the experience calming.
Forget trying to help this little old lady across the street: Bernice Bates, who's 91 years old, is probably more spry than you are. Guinness World Records has just awarded her the title of Oldest Yoga Teacher, and she teaches once a week at her retirement center in Florida. The great-grandmother may not actually be…
Ladies and gentlemen, the bar has officially been raised. Here I thought I was getting pretty good with my downward dogs and baby cobras, but no. After seeing this clip, I feel as though everything I've learned in my years of taking yoga classes, nothing as impressive as being able to balance with a cat on your…
There are a million good reasons to do yoga: increased strength and flexibility, comfortable pants, the many health benefits, the free orgasms. Free orgasms?! Jiggawhaaa? Oh, yeah, girl, has nobody told you that you can totally get off in yoga class? It's called a yogasm, and the Daily Beast is assuring us that it is…
Because nothing's more relaxing than an ideological debate, consider this during your next downward dog: are yoga and Christianity compatible?
At first glance, the idea of naked yoga may either intrigue or repulse you — or maybe you're one of those people who is so easy-going that you see being naked as a nothing out of the ordinary and anyone who doesn't think so is square, etc., etc.
Climbers rejoice — a survey found that women deemed their sport the sexiest among a list of options. Golfers, however, are out of luck.
Welcome back to Midweek Madness. Every Wednesday, we check out the the furniture left beside the curb by Us, Ok!, Star, In Touch and Life & Style.

Lululemon Athletica store employee Jayna Murray was found dead last Saturday at the Lululemon outlet store in Bethesda, MD.
Yogi Cameron is a model-turned-Ayurvedic-guru. In his former life, he was best known as the dude toiling in Madonna's "Express Yourself" video. He shows all signs of being absurd.
