Inside <strong>Yoga</strong><strong>Living</strong> |<br />
Letter to the Readers<br />
Celebrating9Years of Service!<br />
<strong>Yoga</strong> <strong>Living</strong><br />
began as<br />
a glorified<br />
newsletter in 1999. From its inception<br />
to the present day, our magazine has been<br />
greeted with enthusiasm from the burgeoning<br />
holistic community. Whether<br />
they are practitioners, supporters or solidified<br />
believers – all of them are seeking<br />
ways to maximize the movement and<br />
their potential to effect change within it.<br />
While the theme of this issue is<br />
Education, the goal of every issue we publish<br />
is public education. The mission of<br />
<strong>Yoga</strong> <strong>Living</strong> is to reach to the local community<br />
and educate everyone about the myriad<br />
of holistic options available to them.<br />
One of the revolutionary concepts that<br />
<strong>Yoga</strong> <strong>Living</strong> drives home to the holistic<br />
community is this: Advertising can be<br />
educationally driven. Done well, it can be<br />
a sign-post announcing important information<br />
to the person who is ready to<br />
receive it. Consider it a “Hey you! Learn<br />
this and your life will improve!” from the<br />
universe.<br />
While we all live in a capitalistic society,<br />
you will find that most holistic practitioners<br />
have strong values that are not driven<br />
by the typical business-like desires of<br />
money and/or power. The lofty goals of<br />
providing health and healing services are<br />
not easily achieved through traditional<br />
methods of marketing. However, by<br />
enforcing strict editorial guidelines that<br />
keep articles focused on education, and<br />
working with our advertisers to present<br />
their services in an educational format,<br />
<strong>Yoga</strong> <strong>Living</strong> uplifts our readers and maintains<br />
the integral level of service principles<br />
on which the magazine was founded.<br />
All of this depends on you, the reader to<br />
experience all the benefits of success that<br />
holistic education has to offer. We invite<br />
you to do so within these pages... may<br />
your path be illuminated as you read.<br />
Your Editor,<br />
