Mi Amiga, Elsie, Makes It As Cover Girl!
I am so happy to announce that one of my online, blogger, yogini friends (Elsie Escobar) has finally made her dream come true — to be featured as the cover girl in a magazine in the U.K.
I was just new to WordPress then and had began blogging about my yoga journey. To my surprise, I checked my comment page one day and there was a post from Elsie. She had found my site (most likely through my “yoga” tag). I replied to her and then began visiting her site regularly. I have listened to some of her podcasts, linked her Flickr photos to my sidebar here, and corresponded with her on some questions I had on yoga.
Her blog post enables you to download the issue where she is featured. Try to read all about her there. She is truly an amazing yogini who has taken yoga beyond just her practice and into the podcasting world. She has even been an ambassador for Lululemon, a leading store for yoga wear. And despite all this “fame”, she remains down to earth and yogeeky enough to correspond with a start-up yogini like me.

About Me
Yoga Girl from www.yogalifestyle.com
Namaste!
I’m Jane, a Filipina from Manila, Philippines. I practise hatha vinyasa yoga and continue to reap so many health and spiritual benefits from it.
Through this blog I hope to:
* chronicle my journey as a yogini-come-lately *
* include the different styles of yoga available in the Philippines
* provide the location of yoga studios *
* write about the local instructors *
* point you to yoga accessories and books locally available *
* talk with you about anything on yoga *
I will always be a work in progress but I hope that you will journey with me and share your own yoga experiences.
You can reach me at <yogajane@ymail.com>

Asana of the Week
Krounchasana (Heron Pose)
Benefits:
* Stretches the hamstrings * Stimulates the abdominal organs and heart *
Caution:
Avoid if you have menstruation.
If you have any serious knee or ankle problems, avoid the bent leg position in this pose unless you have the assistance of an experienced instructor. Instead sit with the bent leg like the one in this picture:

Thank you so much for your post Jane! Wow! Now, gotta tell you about Podcast User Magazine, it comes from England, so it’s not US, although, Lance Anderson, my interviewee is from the US. It’s also an online magazine, but hey, that’s good enough for me! Thank you so much for posting this. I was very proud of it, as I’m such a geeky podcaster it’s not even funny. Might I even venture that I love podcasting as much as Yoga
Wow!!!
Jane: Yikes, my booboo, Elsie. Let me correct the statement to reflect it as a UK mag. As always, you are my inspiration.
Great site…
I am beginner of yoga.. Hope to learn more on yoga..
will drop by next time..
Jane: Hello, Keeyit! Thank you for dropping by. I am sure you will derive so many benefits from yoga. Patience and perseverance — that’s all it takes. Let me know how you are progressing!
i’m glad you and elsie found each other! i take her classes here in LA every now and then; in fact, i was in the “yoga to lift your spirits” class she podcasted recently — i was the compulsive ms. joni that she was referring to at one point
Jane: Really? Hmmm, let me look for that podcast and check it out
