If you’ve ever worked in publishing you know that one of the cheapest ways to sell a magazine is to litter the cover with numbers. “Ten ways to keep your man.” “Four ways to give yourself a three-hour orgasm.” “Sixteen ways to embarrass yourself at a hipster party in Bushwick.” (Answer: attend).
Usually, magazines that attempt to be “serious” or “respected” in nature will use this approach sparingly. Clearly, that’s soooo not what Yoga Journal is all about:
“8 essential poses to do every day”
“16 poses to find calm in a busy life”
“5 moves to feel refreshed and renewed”
“7 tips for inner happiness”
