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 />

Bob Butera<br />
