Good Lord, John Friend Needs a New Agent /// JF Teams Up With Mark Gafni
Let’s set aside all the “is it wrong to sleep with your teacher?” ho-hum, as well as all that “Boo hoo my business coach/yoga teacher Daddy-fill-in lied to me” crapola and talk about something that’s actually astounding. The other day

Colleen Saidman is the “First Lady” of Yoga? /// Also, What’s Been Up With Us
Hope you all had a nice time while we were away not caring about commercial yoga culture for a couple of weeks. We just loved the mental space it created. Fan-f’ing-tastic! Of course, during that time Aghori ended up writing
