Hanuman Festival and My Yoga Online Join Forces

Mon, 21 May 2012 23:14:17 +0300

The monkey god Hanuman is revered for his physical strength, perseverance and devotion. The Hanuman Festival of yoga and music is known for its inspiring teachers, rockin’ dance party, and bringing together an all-round friendly, committed community of yoga lovers. Given what it takes to pull together a yoga festival, the team behind the scenes of Hanuman just might share this deity’s honoured characteristics.

The team here at MYO is excited to add the Hanuman Festival to the growing list of yoga festivals we support across North America. The Boulder, Colorado yoga and music festival is set in the foot of the Rocky Mountains and takes place this year from June 8-10, 2012. My Yoga Online will be sponsoring the festival, hosting a studio on-site, and filming and sharing everything we can, of course.

“We’re excited to be working with the Hanuman Festival team,“ says Jason Jacobson, CEO of MyYogaOnline.com, “Our vision has always been to bring yoga to the world, and now we’re bringing the yoga world to people all over the planet by teaming up with festivals and teachers from around the globe. The Hanuman Festival has an impressive roster of teachers, musicians—and you can’t beat the location.”

Featured teachers include:
• Richard Freeman
• Hala Khouri
• Faith Hunter
• Giselle Mari
• Sara Ivanhoe
• Gina Caputo
• And more!

Hanuman Festival is a community-oriented yoga and music festival set at the foot of Colorado`s Rocky Mountains. The celebration includes world-class yoga instructors, music that inspires, and a nourishing community. Classes and workshops will feature a range of styles including Vinyasa, Kundalini, Hatha, Ashtanga and Therapeutic yoga.

Plus, White Swan Records—the largest distributor of yoga-centred music in the nation—is collaborating with the Hanuman Festival to bring attendees the best in inspirational, uplifting music. Every night will play host to an electrifying musical performance.  The celebratory highlight of the festival is the Saturday night dance party featuring Desert Dwellers and DJ Drez.

If we don’t see you there, don’t worry, you won’t miss out! We’ll post everything we film.

Namaste,

The team at MYO

Namati Mat Bag and Mat Wash: Tuesday Yoga Giveaway

Tue, 01 May 2012 07:00:00 +0300

Question: Why do you practice yoga?

We practice yoga for a variety of reasons, but in addition to the health benefits, we at My Yoga Online practice yoga to attract the energy we desire.  Namati offers a wide selection of mat bags in colours that can help to accentuate those energies.   Our favourite mat bag colour is Vaizrambhaka, which helps to awaken confidence. Namati invites their customers to read up on how colour affects us and choose the colour that represents the energy they want to express.

Namati bags are handcrafted and made in Canada. The lacy, knit pattern allows the mat to breathe when not in use and leaves room for it to stretch over almost any size mat.  In addition to bright vibrantly coloured bags, Namati also offers a mat wash that is all natural and void of any chemicals.  The Namati mat wash comes in four fabulous scents, including Kirakira, Chiseul Orange, Raspberry Kimaru and our favourite here at My Yoga Online, Paula Lime & Green Tea. 

 

Win your own Namati mat bag and mat wash!

Namati is giving away one mat bag and one mat wash, valued at $55, to five lucky My Yoga Online members.

Blue Canoe Asymmetrical Top: Tuesday Yoga Giveaway

Tue, 24 Apr 2012 16:19:48 +0300

For Blue Canoe, treating the skin means covering it in lush organic cotton and bamboo fabrics. Blue Canoe offers a wide range of active wear, casual wear and lingerie, so that you can treat your body from head to toe. They ensure that all of the fabrics used are chosen from farms that use ethical practices with social responsibility. These fabrics are not only good for the body, but also good for the environment.

Some of the My Yoga Online staff had the luxury of trying on some of this clothing, and the fabric is so soft that it feels like a treat for the skin. As far as comfort goes, Blue Canoe has come out on top. The simple designs of their clothing are figure-flattering, and could be worn during a yoga class or out with friends. They also offer colours that stand out without being too bold.

Cotton farming is known as one of agriculture’s most environmentally destructive activities, so it is important to choose positive alternatives for apparel with organically grown cotton.

Blue Canoe is giving away one asymmetrical top, valued at $61.95, to one lucky My Yoga Online member.

1st Annual Montreal Yoga Music Festival

Mon, 23 Apr 2012 18:11:20 +0300

Connection is vital. Yoga is translated as ‘to yoke together’ or ‘to unite’. Through yoga, we find unity, within ourselves, between strangers, and with the universe.

The 1^st Annual Montreal Yoga Music Festival, July 14-15, is about celebrating life, connecting with your divine self, and uniting with other people. MyYogaOnline is proud to support this rich cultural and social experience –not just about music and yoga, it’s about the human experience and how we interact.

Festival organizers describe the experience this way:
“Chanting together, experiencing the pure joy of being alive and being part of a gathering of like-minded evolved spirits—that is what the Montreal Yoga Music Fest is.”

Musicians will inspire with new and diverse kirtan-style music. Kirtan, aka the “yoga of sound” is reputed to be a musical expression of the soul. For many people, participating in kirtan leads us to a joyously peaceful and meditative state.

At the Event
- Meet members of the Montreal Kirtan and World Yoga community and participate in yoga classes, kirtans, workshops, and spiritual discourses.

- Experience and discover music that will help you transcend the day-to-day challenges.

- Let loose and dance to wash away the stress of life.

- Meet the exhibitors, presenters and everyone else who aligns with the intention of the festival.

Lea Longo of Sweet Life Music, one of the festival producers, has this to say:

“Our vision is to build the Montreal Kirtan community and make this experience accessible to everyone. The versatility and diversity of the musicians from all walks of life sharing their talents and passion for world yoga music will bring this vision to a reality.”

Tuesday Yoga Giveaway: Essentia Organic Sheets

Tue, 17 Apr 2012 07:00:00 +0300

Question: Why do you choose organic?

Essentia chooses organic for its non-toxic properties. This health-oriented mattress company was started when a family member was diagnosed with cancer. Jack, founder of Essentia, suddenly noticed just how many toxins were in everyday items including bedding. Essentia now offers some of the only toxin-free mattresses on the market and holds a commitment to comfort and quality, all while contributing to a greener lifestyle.

My Yoga Online chooses organic to help eliminate the use of damaging pesticides in hopes of keeping our earth healthy and beautiful.  Essentia 300 thread count organic cotton sheets are luxuriously soft and made from 100% organic cotton (certified by the Global Organic Textile Standards). We love the idea of using healthy, safe fabric free of toxins and were thrilled to find a source for soft organic sateen cotton sheets.

My Yoga Online co-founder, Michelle Trantina tried these organic sheets herself and had this to say about them:

"The Essentia Organic sheets have been great. Using them with our new Essentia Beausommet Natural Memory foam mattress, for twice the luxurious organic sleeping experience has been so comfortable - plus it's especially important to sleep organic when you have young children."

Win your own Essentia Organic Sheets!

Essentia is giving away one set of organic sateen cotton sheets, valued at up to $299, to one lucky My Yoga Online member.

Tuesday Yoga Giveaway: Vega One Prize Pack

Tue, 10 Apr 2012 07:00:00 +0300

Question: How do you treat yourself?

For Vega, treating yourself means providing nourishment that leaves your body fulfilled. Vega One, a nutritional plant-based shake, is made from natural, whole-food ingredients that taste delicious. Active lifestyles can sometimes leave you feeling depleted through the day, which is why Vega One nourishes the body in an optimal way, providing lasting sustenance.  Vega One contains 15 grams of protein per serving while providing 50% of your daily intake of vitamins and minerals, 1.5 grams of Omega-3, antioxidants, probiotics, and flavours that satisfy the body.

Vega started when founder Brendan Brazier saw that most protein powders on the market were whey-based and lacked essential fatty-acids, including Omega-3.  Vega One was the first product to be released, filling the need for an all-in-one nutritional shake derived from whole-food, 100% plant-based ingredients.

Vega One is free of gluten, soy and dairy, and contains no added sugar, artificial flavours, colours or sweeteners. My Yoga Online loves the convenience of quickly mixing up a Vega One shake while on the go – to a yoga class, the gym, or anywhere else your day may take you!

Win your own Vega One Prize Pack!

Vega is giving away one Vega One prize pack, including a large tub of Vega One (chocolate), 6 single serving packs of Vega One (berry, natural and vanilla chai), a Vega shaker cup, and a Vega carry bag to one lucky My Yoga Online member.
